Not great but no Helen Thomas look-alike either....
Kinda mannish looking actually.

A NATIONAL ENQUIRER investigation has uncovered John Edwards’ mistress, Rielle Hunter – the mother of his “love child” – has been secretly receiving $15,000 a month as part of an elaborate cover-up...

No photos, but Fox has confirmed the hotel incident by interviewing hotel staff.

Still no news from MSM....
I'm still surprised they discovered it was a woman.
Yes, a woman,but he’s much prettier!
Blackmail or prostitution perhaps. Cover-up, no.
Dang...I'm in the wrong business. ;-)
What a piker. Spitzer’s girl got 4k per hour.
Depends on how many hours a month she has to spend with Edwards?
The Enquirer editor insists there are photos, but they’re going to release them on their own schedule.
Story’s not going away, that’s for sure. Edwards would have taken a paternity test months ago if innocent, but obviously he can’t drill his way out of this.
Seems a little low to me considering who you would have to sleep with... :-)
The Enquirer?
$15,000 a month? How many billable hours is that?
If John Edwards has an (R) behind his name it’d be the lead story for Katie Couric, Brian Williams and Charles Gibson.
snicker
There are photos of her all over the Internet; just Google on “Rielle Hunter”; she’s not much to look at. But when you see her photos, you get an idea on who’s the submissive, and she ain’t it!
$15,000 a month means his wife HAD to know about it. She might have been born at night, but it wasn’t last night. $15k a month is not pocket change.

This thread has additional news about the photos the editor says they have.
Absolutely!
I remember they used to compare Edwards to the Kennedy brothers, but I never really saw it until now...
I wonder, is he still on Obama’s running mate short list?
As the 3rd place Democrat and the only other candidate besides Obama and Hillary to have any delegates, I’m sure Edwards will be speaking at the Democrat Convention. Bet he gets a standing ovation?
John Edwards is toast even though the media is working full time to cover for him.
ROFL!
I wonder if Edwards often had the lady role-play as Ann Coulter for him.
Yeah, he drilled his way into it though... When will we get comments from the loving Elizabeth?
Yup, the Enquirer actually has people out in the field being paid to do investigative reporting.
It’s a foreign concept to many in the LSM these days. All they do is regurgitate the news re: an Obama photo op. They call that journalism these days.
Not great but no Helen Thomas look-alike either....
Kinda mannish looking actually.
He’ll get a standing “O” from democratic women,since many
aren’t married to their sperm donors,either.
What a SKANK!!!
I wonder if he was really close to being the VP pick for Nobama. In my heart, I believe he was...and that camp ‘Hope’is now in a state of camouflaged panic.
15K is a lot of money to stay quiet. Getting caught couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.
I’ve seen the pictures. That’s a woman?
Plus ya don’t get shot at.
LOL! Yeah, but even $15,000 a month would not be just compensation for sleeping with the former Sen. ExLax.
“Yup, the Enquirer actually has people out in the field being paid to do investigative reporting.”
My idea of “investigative” reporting is looking into something that government or somebody else is doing or not doing that’s causing harm to people in general. I can’t stand John Edwards, but the guy isn’t a candidate for anything and doesn’t hold office. Exactly why do we care if he has a mistress?
What the Enquirer is doing is nothing like “investigative reporting.” Not even close.
I disagree. She was being paid by Silky Pony’s friend, not Silky Pony himself.
She’s got man-hands.
“Kinda mannish looking actually. “
Thus his attraction to her.
I’d be his girlfriend for $15,000 a month.
Rielle Hunter, wannabe actress/producer (aspiring double threat!), was paid $114,461 by Edwards’ One America Committee to produce a series of “webisodes” introducing people to the casual, “authentic” John Edwards. Why they picked this lady to make these videos is unclear — she really didn’t have much experience doing anything beyond being, in the words of Jay McInerney, “an ostensibly jaded, cocaine-addled, sexually voracious 20-year old.” That was a couple years ago, though. Now she’s a 44-year-old former all of those things, and a weirdo new agey spiritualist flake, according to her website.

Your definition of “investigative reporting” is far too narrow.
Keeping a man from high office in the future in this case at least Attorney General is certainly a public service in the least.
Preventing him from running for the Oval Office ever again even greater.
Actually I think $15k a month is a little on the low side, given his assets. However, it does lend credence to the suspicion that the money is coming from a man of means who would rather not go public about it.
As for Elizabeth, she has to know but I don’t think $15k a month would be hard for her to lose track of. Unlikely she keeps the books herself.
Not necessarily. If it came from him having her on the campaign payroll as "consultant", the wife would not have seen it. But if he paid her from out of campaign or other non-personal funds, he might have problems from people beyond just his wife (then again, maybe not. Dem politicians don't generally get prosecuted for things like regular people do)
The Edwards' are worth 30 million dollars. Source
Therefore, $15K / month is a drop in the bucket. I doubt she noticed, especially if he handles the finances.
“Preventing him from running for the Oval Office ever again even greater.”
Having an affair didn’t stop some other folks from running for office — McCain and Guiliani come to mind.
“Exactly why do we care if he has a mistress?”
1) Because he talked down to people like you and me, acting as though he had the moral high ground over us.
2) He was on the shortlist for VP.
3) It exposes his character should he chose to run for office again or seek appointment to a government position such as US Attorney General.
How’s that for reason?
But as other pointed out....eeewwww....John Edwards.
I'd rather be shot at. And swelter in the heat. And deal with these dang sandstorms. And make less money... ;-)
