Byron York, a conservative columnist and commentator for Fox News, thinks it’s somehow the public’s business that John Edwards has returned to his first passion: personal-injury law.<\/p>\n

Big deal.<\/p>\n

Edwards once was a U.S. senator from North Carolina. He ran for vice president on a Democratic ticket led by John Kerry. They lost in 2004 by a narrow margin; a swing of some 70,000 votes in Ohio (out of more than 5 million cast in that state) would have elected the Kerry-Edwards ticket over the George W. Bush-Dick Cheney ticket.<\/p>\n

Then came another run for the presidency four years later, the adultery scandal, the birth of Edwards’s daughter to a woman other than his wife, his separation from Elizabeth, who then died of cancer.<\/p>\n

Edwards’s political career is finished. That, I submit, is a very good thing.<\/p>\n

I personally don’t care what he does with his private life or his private law practice.<\/p>\n

In fact, I would prefer he’d disappear from public view.<\/p>\n

If only his notable right-wing critics would just allow it.<\/p>\n\n
