Did Bentley have a baby with his mistress while his wife was dying of cancer, and STILL working on his campaign??

NO, he most certainly did not. And no one is saying that he did. And Edwards'  actions were reprehensible.  But the criteria for impeachment in Alabama do not require (although they arguably would include) a finding of adultery and b-a-s-t-a-r-d-y in order to remove an elected official from office.  "Moral turpitude," however, is included in the criteria for removal from office:

Section 173 of the Constitution of 1901 (current Constitution of Alabama):

"The governor, lieutenant-governor, attorney-general, state auditor, secretary of state, state treasurer, superintendent of education, commissioner of agriculture and industries, and justices of the supreme court may be removed from office for willful neglect of duty, corruption in office, incompetency, or intemperance in the use of intoxicating liquors or narcotics to such an extent, in view of the dignity of the office and importance of its duties, as unfits the officer for the discharge of such duties, or for any offense involving moral turpitude while in office, or committed under color thereof, or connected therewith, by the senate sitting as a court of impeachment, under oath or affirmation, on articles or charges preferred by the house of representatives. When the governor or lieutenant-governor is impeached, the chief justice, or if he be absent or disqualified, then one of the associate justices of the supreme court, to be selected by it, shall preside over the senate when sitting as a court of impeachment. If at any time when the legislature is not in session, a majority of all the members elected to the house of representatives shall certify in writing to the secretary of state their desire to meet to consider the impeachment of the governor, lieutenant-governor, or other officer administering the office of governor, it shall be the duty of the secretary of state immediately to notify the speaker of the house, who shall, within ten days after receipt of such notice, summon the members of the house, by publication in some newspaper published at the capitol, to assemble at the capitol on a day to be fixed by the speaker, not later than fifteen days after the receipt of the notice to him from the secretary of state, to consider the impeachment of the governor, lieutenant-governor, or other officer administering the office of governor. If the house of representatives prefer articles of impeachment, the speaker of the house shall forthwith notify the lieutenant-governor, unless he be the officer impeached, in which event he shall notify the secretary of state, who shall summon, in the manner herein above provided for, the members of the senate to assemble at the capitol on a day to be named in said summons, not later than ten days after receipt of the notice from the speaker of the house, for the purpose of organizing as a court of impeachment. The senate, when thus organized, shall hear and try such articles of impeachment against the governor, lieutenant-governor, or other officer administering the office of governor, as may be preferred by the house of representatives."

Got it?

 

Oh HRDA, you need to shut up and stop banging that drum. No one is "saying" that you "said" he had a child with his mistress. You're doing your best to put someone in office, the highest office in the country, that has done much worse and is a danger to the country to boot, and all you can yap about is Bentley.

You specifically asked this question, Best:

Did Bentley have a baby with his mistress while his wife was dying of cancer, and STILL working on his campaign??"

I answered it, "No, he most certainly did not." You brought the matter up and I gave you a perfectly correct answer.

You have degenerated to the level of digging up that old Vince Foster accusation against the Clintons and have added the noxious ASSertion that Hillary is a lesbian.  Really, Best is that the "best" you can do?  You get more pitiful and less credible every day, and are about to hit rock bottom. But keep those asterisks coming; it seems that the baser types of people people with filthy words on their dirty minds will find some way to express their vileness through devices such as asterisks.
