I find this horrible, tasteless,sad and creative and amusing, all at once.
JOHN EDWARDS
I'm running for president,
The highest office in the land.
Look, I'm right there in the mirror,
Smoothing my hair down with my hand.I am handsome. Yes, it's true.
And I am wealthy: that's true, too.
But superficial things like that,
Well, they're just not where I'm at.You see, I care about the poor.
I often fret about their plight.
I adore the way I look
In this smoky barroom light.(RIELLE HUNTER spots JOHN EDWARDS at the bar and approaches him.)
RIELLE HUNTER
Hi, I'm Lisa.
I mean Rielle.
Will you take me
To a hotel?JOHN EDWARDS
Well, I never.
I'm shocked and dismayed.
My wife and children
Would feel betrayed.
Plus, there's a special circumstance:
My wife has cancer. It's advanced.(JOHN EDWARDS's phone rings.)
JOHN EDWARDS
What? That's great.
The hand of fate
Has relaxed its stranglehold.
God's mercy should be extolled.(JOHN EDWARDS hangs up his phone.)
JOHN EDWARDS
Oh, wait, now she's in remission.
I guess that means I have permission.
