From Broadcasting & Cable:


Edwards had hoped to control the news cycle by making his admission late on a Friday night when the country was watching the Olympics and the long weekend yawned ahead.

According to multiple sources, Edwards was apoplectic that ABC News broke the story on its website and began promoting it early on Friday, giving the rest of the media a chance to play catch-up and cite ABC News' report. (Representatives for Edwards did not return a call or e-mail for comment.)
Edwards subsequently made solicitous calls to multiple reporters including CBS News' Bob Schieffer, who also talked to a distraught Elizabeth Edwards.


So this heartfelt admission wasn't about , but an attempt to "control the news cycle"? Looks like Johnny Two-Time doesn't need a presidential campaign to be egocentric and narcissistic! Good for him!

Tabin's got the Edwards beat locked down this a.m.
