2004: Democratic vice-presidential nominee John Edwards loses
election. Flash forward to 2008 and Edwards is admitting to having an
affair (possibly a love child too!) while his wife was recovering
from the cancer.

2008: Now we get Joe Biden? Please. Biden's tech voting record has

it exposes him as a close ally of the Recording Industry Association
of America (RIAA) and Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA),
