    Dammit, Pareene, the entire time I'm reading your article, I kept thinking "No Smithers mention yet, I'm totez gonna be the innovator with a crafty Smithers comment!" and sure enough after being 99.997% through, there it is, the last word.

    Anyway, great story.. both of them are such shameless pricks.

    Politico insider-y stories usually make my eyes glaze over but this article was gripping. How smarmy do you have to be to let someone like Young glom onto you like that? And how stupid do you have to be not to see the potential downsides when the relationship inevitably turns sour? I expect some level of narcissism and sleaze from all my politicians, but I also expect street smarts.

    I bet that explicit John Edwards video is just him going on a rant about whitey.

    Edwards does not have GayFace, nor does Poppa Bear, there. Not that this proves anything.

    I recall that during the Kerry/Edwards campaign that Kerry had a guy like this. I don't remember his name, but he was an ivy league grad whose job requirement was to follow Kerry around and supply him with PBJ sandwiches and he also carried an inflatable rubber doughnut so that if Kerry had to sit down he could use the doughnut. Maybe it's a common status symbol for D.C. politicians to have a Smithers.

    @uncle_wiggly: They ALL have guys like this -- Clinton, Ron Brown (his body guy was, unfortunately, on that plane with him), Ted Kennedy... pretty common practice.

    2,300 words?! I'll only read a blog post of that length if it's a Richard Lawson recap.

    Butt boy is common campaign lingo for what was earlier called the "body man" -- the staffer who travels closely with the candidate and tends to his/her personal needs. Not that different from what Huma did for Hillary -- every serious candidate has one. The term is intentionally crude (the job is slightly degrading, even though it's coveted for its primo access) but there is absolutely no insinuation implicit in its use.

    @Peter Feld: "Butt boy" is also a common homosexual term for a man who is anally penetrated by another man. Not that different from what Scott Thorson did for Liberace. The term is likewise intentionally crude (the job can be degrading, because another man is getting prime access to your sphincter) butt there is some insinuation in its use.

    Hey cherub, if you're going to attack the mother of your childrens' half sibling, at least get her name right: it's DRUCK, like TRUCK. Not Druke, like puke.

    I imagine a post like this is exactly the kind of thing that Ann Coulter gets off to...not that there's anything wrong with that.

    Elizabeth, if you're reading this :[] do be rest assured that even in your afterlife, John will see no peace whatsoever, and I cannot imagine for the life of me he's going to continue any sort of relations with Hunter. The papz will be alllll over it.

    There was a very clear picture of Reille's baby in the papers last week, and she looks exactly like John Edwards.
