This doesn't have any consequence for the present election. And it's a painful topic to even get into. But Andrea Mitchell was just interviewing David Bonior, who was John Edwards campaign chairman. And she asked him whether he'd spoken to Edwards since his admission. Bonior said he hadn't. And his explanation, which followed, was very raw. Not angry. But usually in such cases, someone in his position will make some perfunctory nod to wishing him and his family well. But none of that. I don't really have any comment. And I definitely don't fault him. But it was a very powerful testimony to the professional and interpersonal wreckage Edwards has left behind him.
