john edwards and herman cain. if you think that john edwards got the same scrutiny that herman cain got, then you live in the line -- >> when the story came out -- >> bill: no, no. they didn't even want to put it out, so the "national enquirer" had to do it. >> client: that's the point, because the left wing media protects democrats. look, you can go back to jack kennedy or bill clinton or john edwards. the same narrative prevails. once the story breaks, they have to cover it, but they protect them. >> i don't care about herman cain's personal life. i care about the fact that he doesn't know anything about the issues. >> bill: that's your opinion and you're entitled to it. but the media coverage of cain versus edward -- >> herman cain is not running for president. he's on a book tour. >> bill: okay. barney frank. i think -- there are two reasons why he's not running. number one, he almost lost last time. he got 54% of the vote, extremely liberal district. now they redrew his district in massachusetts and he would

john edwards came in second and dean slipped to third. then he delivered the disastrous "i had a scream" speech. >> going to south dakota, and oregon and washington and michigan. and then we're going to washington, d.c. to take back the white house. yeah! >> iowa is just completely full of stories like that. every cycle i have ever been in, something unexpected happens. >> kerry cruised to the nomination. picked edwards as the running mate and lost. but if any year confirmed the impact iowa has on the presidential nomination process, it was 2008. on the democratic side, john edwards campaigned almost exclusively in iowa. hoping a win will propel him past the hillary clinton jau juggernaut. enter the junior senator from illinois, barack obama. community organizer with a great ground game and growing celebrity support. >> thank you, iowa. >> obama won the caucuses with almost 38% of the vote. while clinton finished third. edged out by edwards. suddenly, the entire race was changed. >> too much to say. that's what vault him in the office? >>

we did a lot of stuff on john edwards which is far worse than what cain did. we did stuff in the earlier years of "red eye" when clinton wasn't. >> mainstream media ignored that. >> news week ignored lewinski until it was drudge that landed with it. >> i thought it was the enquirer. >> and i believe clinton as well. they were the first to get them out. >> the media licked its lips. that was a gravy stick. >> they had to chase john edwards into a bathroom at a beverly hills hotel. >> who hasn't been there? >> but those are cases where people broke the law. >> he was running for office and that changes things. >> it is not even you cheated on your wife. you are lying to the people and you are asking to represent. >> it will be a surprise to anybody. >> he hasn't made that narrative up. >> he mentioned his wife many, many -- every time he talks. >> they say where is gloria? she is never out on the campaign. >> i don't see her that much. the one thing i heard too much of was 999. >> that's irrelevant now. >> exactly. >> let's get back to 999. >> yes, please. >>> s

. >> jon: some are saying it's a double standard here and whispers about john edwards when he was running for president, but none of the stories were brought to the fore until he was already out of the race. >> took the national enquirer banging and banging away to get the mainstream media to pay attention. >> there's not the pall and disdain that surrounded gennifer flowers and paula jones. >> what we learned from nthem. you be-- with a messy background. >> jon: what about looking into the background of accusers, gem mew. the ap looked at the most recent of the women to accuse herman cain and found there were, well, she is a sort of a serial lawsuit filer. >> here we go again blaming the victim. and in this case blame the victims, because it's he said, she said, she said, she said. and when we're looking at the cain casting couch situation as i look at it. why are we having so many stories about why did this young woman get into the car of a married man, versus why did the marry man upgrade a hotel room for a woman he didn't even know. and of course, mr. wood, he has to answer in the cou

megyn: john edwards. only the national enquirer was covering that. >> at first, because that was a real hot potato and if the media was wrong about something of that magnitude, they would open themselves up for lawsuits. megyn: they could ruin a presidential campaign. what's happening here? >> i have to say i never thought herman cain was a real serious candidate. he's been promoting this book. even in ohio, in the midst of this drama, even in the campaign, everyone is focusing on iowa and new hampshire, he's in ohio promoting his book. i never thought that herman cain was a serious candidate. the problem is even while these women have credibility issues, he has credibility issues. his story keeps changing, and nine the bottom line is the truth does not change. megyn: how much can you blame this on herman cain, how much can you blame this on his advisers? because there's a scathing piece in politico today, talking about how, you know, even on the latest allegation, the campaign came out through the lawyer

when they have facts about john edwards. hello.

. >> thank on, hang on this is the party of bill clinton, john edwards and eliot spitzer going after newt gingrich on values. >> they are not going to go after him on values, they are going after him on his records. he goes in with very high expectations. when he starts to stumble those high expectations work double against him. megyn: as a democrat do you worry about -- you've seen a debate in which gingrich goes up against obama. >> no i don't. he's had so many positions in his record over the years that his own words can be used against him very effectively and take him apart. i think that is his biggest problem. we are going to remember he's one of the most devisive figures in american political history. that will come back to haunt him. megyn: chris plant i'll give you the last word. >> oh, boy u know i think that was probably true before barack obama came to town and after the violence that we're going to see from the occupy wall street people after they recongeal around the election next year and on the lead up to election day now i think barack obama is so much more devisive

why wouldn't he as we saw, for example, with presidential candidate john edwards, let it leak that there was a grand jury investigation, an investigation at least, so that people would at least have a red flag on this guy, rather than, you know, parents still letting their children go out with this guy to public events or events that ultimately became private, unfortunately? >> well, we don't know what the exact timeline was. attorney general corbett's investigation of mr. sandusky. we don't know precisely when he had probable cause to arrest sandusky, how many victims he had come forward, at what points along the spectrum here. and i would not leap to a judgment that tom corbett did anything wrong here whatsoever. i think that the commentary about what his office did or didn't do is the wrong focus. the focus ought to be on mr. sandusky, who is accused of 40 counts of child sexual assault and related offenses. megyn: there's no question that -- the facts are that sandusky is the bad guy here but it's a legitimate inquiry to find out whether the attorney general should have somehow alert

somebody else thought doocy looked like john edwards. i'm not sure he wants that connection. a little bit of a stretch. and kilmeade, somebody thought you looked like the guy from big love. so i don't know what that means. >> the guy from what? >> you mean the mormon? >> the show "big love"? >> i know what that -- i don't really watch it. he said you look like the guy in big love. >> brian would like that role. >> gretchen is beautiful. doocy is a real estate agent and you're a sketchy mormon. >> that's what i thought. >> i like how i fared in this poll oochlt i've watched you do recaps of press conferences with less detail than you just went over. you're on the beach report of "fox & friends." >> i love the detail. when you pass on those kinds of details, some good. some bad. especially good for gretchen. i don't know. >> you know what? i want you to be a regular on "fox & friends." i don't know how much you're going to love that. because it's the middle of the night but we loved having you. thank you so much. that was a lot of fun. >> thank you, guys. >> he'd be great to ha
