John Edwards calls to former advisers asking forgiveness for lying about his affair have been met with rage, according to a report published Monday in The New York Daily News.

“It was kind of pathetic, to tell you the truth,” an ex-aide, speaking on condition of anonymity, told the paper. The aide reportedly said he has no intention of returning Edwards’ call.

The former presidential candidate admitted Aug. 8 that he had an affair with one of his campaign staff members, Rielle Hunter, in 2006 when his wife Elizabeth’s cancer was in remission.

Edwards — who is noticeably absent from the Democratic National Convention that began Monday in Denver — is said to be making phone calls to his former supporters, saying, “I let you down, and I’m sorry,” the Post reports.

One former assistant told the paper that he ending his conversation with Edwards abruptly, telling the former North Carolina senator, “I don’t want you to call me again.”

Report: Edwards Call for Forgiveness Met with Rage Among Former Supporters

The hypocrisy of the Democratic party knows NO bounds.

John Edwards is asking for forgiveness, and obviously not getting any. He is apparently being met with rage from his former supporters for his indiscretions.

Don’t think I condone John Edwards actions, not in ANY way, what he did was wrong, and any damage his political career should suffer is, in MY opinion, well deserved. He is, at the present time, a pariah to the Democratic party. He’s not going to speak at the Democratic convention because of his actions and the discovery that he really had lied, and did cheat on his wife. John Edwards isn’t even going to show his face at the Democratic convention.

So, who do the Democrats fill the Edwards speaking slot with?? Bill ‘I did NOT have sex with that woman’ Clinton. Now there is some serious lapse in moral credibility!

And the patriarch of the Democratic party, none other than Teddy ‘Damn I have a headache’ Kennedy spoke last night. Kennedy was canonized by his niece, Caroline Kennedy, now, certainly his sainthood is all but assured, and not one word was heard in memory of Mary Jo Kopechne.

We have ALL committed sins and indiscretions in our lives, and anyone that says he hasn’t is an outright liar. Isolating John Edwards for HIS sins, and all the while giving Clinton and Kennedy a free pass for theirs, other than hypocrisy, just what, exactly, can you call it??

Conservatives call it hypocrisy. The Democrats call it business as usual.
