It’s the news headline everyone’s been waiting for… John Edwards, two time failed presidential nominee, has a sex tape. Edwards’ mistress is suing his former aide for the return of videos and photographs which depict “matters of a private and personal nature.” Which in lawyer-speak probably means dirty, raunchy sex. This comes on the heels of his admittance that he fathered a child with his mistress, which in lawyer-speak means he has officially ruined his political career.

His aide claims to have “feared for his life,” once Edwards found out that he had the tape and had been offered a “gigantic sum of money to sell it,” saying he slept with his whole family as well as a gun in his bed.  We’ve said it once and we’ll say it again, why do high-profile people make sex tapes? Isn’t it obvious at this point that they will get out to the public? At least save it on a flash drive and lock it in a safe, silly!
