Nice!

Does that give you permission to hit the bathroom at odd and random times during the ballgame? >8)

That and so much more...

He’s Ron Santo. He can do whatever or say whatever he wants.

he is

the most interesting man in the world.

Now, see, wouldn’t those commercials be better if it were RON?

Can’t you hear him saying “Stay thirsty, my friends! Gee Whiz!!”

yup

In an interview for broadcast tonight on Nightline, Edwards told ABC News correspondent Bob Woodruff he did have an affair with 42-year old Rielle Hunter, but said that he did not love her.

Edwards also denied he was the father of Hunter’s baby girl, Frances Quinn, although the one-time Democratic Presidential candidate said he has not taken a paternity test.

Edwards said he knew he was not the father based on timing of the baby’s birth on February 27, 2008. He said his affair ended too soon for him to have been the father.

A former campaign aide, Andrew Young, has said he was the father of the child.
