And that heart is in grave peril:

Ex-presidential candidate John Edwards has a life-threatening heart condition that will require surgery next month, his doctor told a judge presiding over Edwards' upcoming court case over possible campaign violations.

Every time I'm reminded of John Edwards's existence, I get mad all over again that he knew he was a ticking time bomb of ethical and financial problems and he still tried as hard as he could to convince Democrats to vote for him. Let's hope he gets better soon, so he can go straight to jail for a long, long time.
