NPR: Bonior Reacts to Edwards Admission

Bonior Reacts to Edwards Admission

David Bonior, Edwards' campaign manager for his 2008 presidential bid, said Friday he was disappointed and angry after hearing about Edwards' confession.
"Thousands of friends of the Senator's and his supporters have put their faith and confidence in him and he's let them down," said Bonior, a former congressman from Michigan. "They've been
betrayed by his action."

Asked whether the affair would damage Edwards' future aspirations in public service, Bonior replied: "You can't lie in politics and expect to have people's confidence."

What senator Edwards has done was harmful to himself and his family, what President Bush has done has directly destroyed the lives of millions of our fellow human beings. What is the greater crime? according to our media, the affair.
