and a prime example is john edwards. when john edwards sordid affair came out, everything humanly possible was being done to cover that up. yet here we have a man who i think is basically a good man at heart, and because he is a republican, it is really being exploited. when we look at the figures in the democratic party, like barney frank and christopher dodd and nancy pelosi and even clinton himself, these people do horrendous things and yet nothing is said or done about it, but now we have a situation with this man and i think it is basically because he is a republican. host: i will let your comments stand. this is your says even jesus had disciples fall off the wagon, should they have stepped down? to air is humid and to forgive divine. -- to err is human. john edwards said minutes was on a fair. elizabeth edwards will appear on cnn later on "larry king live." here is what john edwards said last summer. >> two years ago i made a very serious mistake. a mistake that i am responsible for and no one else. in 2006 i told

my name is edward felten. i'm a professor of computer science and public affairs at princeton university. i'm here as the technologist. i'm a computer science professor and i'd like to explain some of the technology behind behave yearal advertising. the most serious privacy concerns are raised not by the presence of advertising but by the gathering of information about users that can be used either to target ads or for other purposes. i'd like to describe what technology makes possible. responsible ad sr. voices do not do everything that's possible. and i don't mean to imply otherwise. others on the panel can describe what their own systems do do. to explain what this technology allows i'd like to walk through a scenario illustrated by the diagram on the left page of my written testimony. and if i could have the display, please, of the powerpoint. >> i think they're trying to bring that up. scu ises. >> whaled like to describe, mr. chairman, is a scenario involved in behave yearal advertising. thank you. in th

edwards: thank you, madam chair. i rise in support of h.r. 626, the federal employees' paid parental leave act of 2009. i'd like to thank the gentlewoman from new york, mrs. maloney, for her long-time leadership on this legislation and her ongoing efforts to ensure family-friendly workplaces and that must begin at least with the federal government. it is so tiresome and tedious to stand on this floor every day and listen to the demagoguing of federal employees people who get up and inspect our food and make sure we have clean water and do all the business they process social security checks, all the business of this government. it is so sad that even on offering a simple parental leave act that we have to demagogue federal employees in the process. the legislation provides four weeks of paid parental leave for new mothers and fathers for the birth, adoption, or fostering of a child. america's 1.8 million federal employees will benefit from this time to learn how to care for and bond with their new addition to the fam

john edwards. as more and more seedy details were coming out about his affair he was having while his wife is fighting terminal cancer and how he's going to be a possible criminal charges for funneling money to her through his campaign, possibly, she came out and defended him and said, oh, it was so sad about what was happening to john edwards. that's what she said. these things were happening to john edwards. it was a disgrace. the feminist movement should have been up and arms and run her out of town. but not a word about the fact that she defended this man and what he was doing to his very courageous wife. no, it is high time that conservative women start standing up for themselves and their beliefs boldly and loudly. in the tradition of margaret thatcher and clare boothe luce and, yes, sarah palin, when we do that, we will bring other women to other movement. when we say we have nothing to be ashamed of and, in fact, we have so much to be proud of, the accomplishments, not just of conservative

they were deeply concerned of john edwards to tell the truth. the projection in iowa is they would come in a good second after edberg and they thought he had this block of solid support they couldn't shift and he had a lot of union support and they were concerned about the 527 groups funded by the unions and in the end in the final week or two of iowa edwards was the target. applause and hillary clinton so that was the area of concern and he faded off pretty quickly. >> an e-mail to your earlier point say mr. wolffe why did the press continue to say hillary cried when it's obvious she didn't? >> good question. she tears up maybe. her eyes became moist. there was a lot of hyperventilation about the moment as a spread of fire raleigh. people say she melted down. i spoke to people in the clinton campaign who said that the first response, people didn't see the video immediately and by the time they heard about it it was a full nervous breakdown and it clearly boz and so this was an intensely the dryly emotional few days and everything got it typed u

max bachus, and the chairman of the senate health, education, labor and pensions committee, senator edward kennedy. he wrote, quote, i strongly believe that americans should have the choice of a public health insurance option operating alongside private plans. this will give them a better range of choices, make the health care market more competitive, and keep insurance companies honest. and the other thing he could have said is that it's also going to save us money by helping to reduce the costs all around for health care. in fact, there's been estimates that over 10 years, about $3 trillion can be saved because there will be this choice of this health care option. and it is about time that the united states joined the rest of the industrial world and said, yes, our people are going to get the health care they need. that it's going to be a right, not just a privilege for those who can afford it. let me just tell a couple of stories before i yield back, quick ones. the other day, a friend of mine proudly showed me a picture of her daughter who just had a baby in the hospital, a darling pic

am very grateful for the chairman of the kennedy and his graciousness working with us on this and to edward leadership. now, we know that while this the regular process and the senate has in the house went through the committee, reported the committee passed on the house floor with 298 votes, republicans and democrats, over two-thirds voted for this. and the reason it's been moved into this emergency supplemental is because it is an emergency. because we are seeing dealers that have been told they are going to have to phase out who have inventory to sell. we are seeing dealers all across america who are seeing sales go down and down and the question is how long are they going to be able to hold on? the average dealer high years 53 people in the dealership. these are small businesses. i grew up in a car lot, my dad and granddad had a dealership and i know what this is about for a small town and when we look at the fact from january to may, every automobile company, gm, 41.8%, 21, 39% reduction, ford down, chrysler, honda, all across the board these sales are down. this may not seem like an e

meanwhile, are donating millions to help build an institute in boston to celebrate the career of senator edward kennedy, who is attempting to overhaul the nation's health-care system. despite a ban on gifts to lawmakers and limits on campaign contributions, lobbyists and groups that employ them to spend unlimited money to honor members of congress or donate to nonprofits connected to them or their relatives. the public until now had little insight into the scope of this largely hidden world of special interest influence. under ethics rules passed in 2007, lobbyist for the first time last year had to report any payment made for an event or to a group connected to a lawmaker and other top federal officials. "usa today" undertook the first comprehensive analysis of the lobbying reports and found 2007 budget 59 payments totaling $35.8 million were made in 2008. the money went to honor five runs of 34 current and former lawmakers, almost 250 other federal officials and more than 100 groups, many of which can't lawmakers among the members. in a moment, we will open and up. the organizations that are

edwards: i rise today in strong favor and support of the american clean energy and security act of 2009. and i'm going to tell you, i was a reluctant comer but i commend chairman markey and chairman waxman for their work and dedication. this is a big step towards ensuring that our children live in a better and cleaner environment and protect our planet for future generations. the glaciers are melting and some may question the science, but i'm not one of them. by the time a child born today in 2009 reaches first grade, we will reach peak carbon and without a doubt, we must use every tool attainable to respond. this bill is one of those tools and perhaps our strongest yet. it's my hope that as we continue forward that we will increase our investment in renewables. that we will ensure that we preserve and protect our planet and reverse the warming of our earth. i want to thank the chairman. and despite my concern, i support this bill strongly and i urge my colleagues to join me. and the statements made earlier today questioning global warming underscores the importance of this legislation
