john edwards indictmentsFor John Edwards, the punch lines keep coming. Now he finds that Rielle Hunter has cost him not only a political career, but also the likelihood that he’ll get through life without a felony conviction. Even if Edwards skates on the indictments announced today, it’s safe to say this isn’t going to burnish his Wikipedia entry.

Obscure writer. Lazy photographer. Bashful guitarist. Perhaps too fond of wine. Tireless nemesis of New York Times crosswords.
