Happiness is a warm TV

Jon Stewart: Edwards' paternity admission "a shock to idiots"

Bookmark and Share

Let the jokes begin (again).

On last night's "Daily Show with Jon Stewart," Jon Stewart brought his viewers up to speed on the latest in the John Edwards saga, declaring the former Senator's admission yesterday that he is the father of Rielle Hunter's baby, "a shock to idiots."

He also said of  Edwards' hope that his youngest daughter would one day forgive him, that he believed Edwards could end most of his sentences with that sentiment for the rest of his life: "I'm looking forward to the football games on Sunday, hopefully some day she'll forgive me."

Stewart also speculated it was all part of Edwards' plan to announce his new line of perfume: "Forgiveness, by John Edwards. For the day she grows out of hating you for denying you were her father."
