Yeah, well, I know why

John Edwards’s poor wife has got a book out about her shitty husband. Time is running an excerpt, and Time‘s political blog, Swampland, teases the excerpt with a smaller excerpt, from which I present the following:

More than a year later, I learned that he had allowed [the woman] into our lives and had not, even when he knew better, made her leave us alone. I tried to get him to explain, but he did not know himself why he had allowed it to happen.

Her husband did not know himself that he wanted to get laid. Is he aware that he has toes?
