So former Democrat President candidate John Edwards was misunderstood for his temptations and results thereof? Have an affair while his wife was fighting cancer, then have a child with the other woman and try even harder to hide the kid? He initially denied being the father. 

Where's the rationale in that - coming from a man who wanted the country to believe him as vice president or president? Edwards wanted the public to ignore his situation, since he was trying to hide it, but that eventually blew up in his face. 

Thank you for agreeing with my premise, but your second sentence fails miserably.
