Ken Starr Jackass Hall of Fame

The current prosecutor of John Edwards is worthy material for the Ken Starr Jackass Hall of Fame.  Ken Starr, you will remember, plunged our country into a constitutional crisis over Bill Clinton's raunchy romp with Monica Lewinsky.  We were the laughing stalk of the Western Hemisphere.  For his ego, the Edwards persecutor is pursuing an unprecedented theory in an attempt to jail John Edwards.  Lost in the hubub is the fact that John and Elizabeth Edwards had two more children after the tragic death of their son Wade.  Those children still need their father.  What good purpose could be served by prosecuting John Edwards is a mystery.  No one doubts that he was a jerk, but the time and expense of federal prosecutors and a federal judge to rehash his tired, old sin?  What could be more ridiculous?  So welcome all ye Edwards prosecutors to the Ken Starr Jackass Hall of Fame.
