The John Edwards bio is "an extraordinary story filled with motivations, decisions and consequences that would have lit Shakespeare up."

Aaron Sorkin is making a movie of Andrew Young's "The Politician: An Insider's Account of John Edwards's Pursuit of the Presidency and the Scandal That Brought Him Down."

Would the John Edwards story "have lit Shakespeare up"?
Yes. John Edwards is a grand tragic hero with fascinating flaws.
Yes. Shakespeare loved to apply his gifts to tacky, melodramatic tales.
No. Shakespeare was too high class for that sort of muck.
No. John Edwards didn't reach a high enough height for Shakespeare to care about his fall.
