Ah yeah, sure…
Mark Sanford is now a member of Congress two years after he stepped down as governor of South Carolina following a highly publicized extramarital affair.
Anthony Weiner appears poised to run for New York City mayor not even two years after scandalous photos of the ex-representative hit Twitter.
Perhaps, then, it should be no surprise to learn that disgraced former presidential candidate and North Carolina senator John Edwards is plotting his own comeback.
The wealthy lawyer has reactivated his law license and also is hitting the speaking circuit, The Associated Press reported.
Mr. Edwards is scheduled to speak at a private retreat in Orlando, Fla., on June 6, where he’ll address fellow attorneys and marketing gurus.
An itinerary for the event says the highly successful trial lawyer will speak as part of a program titled “Historic Trials of the Century.”
Meanwhile, his law license, dormant for more than a decade, has been resuscitated, AP reported. It’s unclear whether he plans to return to the courtroom.
Mr. Edwards has remained in the shadows for the past year following his acquittal on one charge of campaign finance fraud in May 2012. Other criminal counts were dismissed after a federal judge declared a mistrial in the case.
