Who could guess politicians lie?

We had to find an editorial for class today and thankfully Perez Hilton never disappoints. His scathing review of John Edwards admission to still "caring deeply" about his wife Elizabeth is posted for everyone...even the cheating politician...to see. http://perezhilton.com/2010-01-28-john-edwards-still-cares-about-elizabeth

What was once a vicious rumor has been confirmed: John Edwards did in fact father a baby by his mistress, Rielle Hunter, while his devoted wife battled cancer. Through the power of the internet Hilton tells John that "talk is cheap" while he urges Elizabeth to "stay strong honey".

I must agree with the king of gossip for this one. As we learned in 2009 "love doesn't hurt" (thank you Rhianna). If you love someone you shouldn't even be able to CONCEIVE the idea of cheating on them. In fact you shouldn't even be able to dream of hurting them at all, physically OR emotionally. This should all consist two fold when the person you're married to, the person you've promised to love and cherish, the person who has followed you on the campaign trail and listened to your boring speeches is dying of cancer!

Perez said it best so I think I'll just post his picture...it says everything that needs to be said.

  1. 1) Embed your hyperlinks in your text instead of cutting and pasting the page name. Check out the "editorial" that you're reviewing; notice how Perez Hilton uses hyperlinks? Try implementing that style.
    2) Your source material was rather brief and disappointing. Also, you neglected certain portions of the assignment: Does the editorial adhere to the nine principles discussed in class today? What would you change in the editorial to make it stronger?
