John Edwards, who cheated on his cancer-stricken wife has a heart??!

From CNN here:

A federal judge disclosed Friday that former presidential candidate John Edwards has a life-threatening heart condition. Edwards had sought a delay in his criminal corruption trial, scheduled to begin this month.

Judge Catherine Eagles said she has been in contact with Edwards’ cardiologist, who recommended a postponement, saying Edwards is scheduled to undergo surgery next month.

Edwards is charged with six felony and misdemeanor counts related to donations to and payments from his failed 2008 presidential campaign. He is accused of conspiracy, issuing false statements and violating campaign contribution laws. He denies any wrongdoing.

Edwards’ wife, Elizabeth, died of cancer in December 2010. The couple had separated that year, shortly after Edwards admitted that he had fathered a daughter with Rielle Hunter, who was hired to make documentary videos for his campaign for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination.

Yeah, the first time you hear that Edwards is a Democrat is way down in paragraph 11, which is surprising, since usually the liberal press fails to mention party affiliation at all when the crook is a Democrat. But I hope Johnny gets better. Should be a fun trial.
