Woman who had affair with John Edwards has a wild past
South Florida Sun - Sentinel ^ | 8-11-08 | Mike Clary

Posted on 08/11/2008 11:00:59 AM PDT by wac3rd

Rielle Hunter, the woman at the heart of the John Edwards scandal, was born in Fort Lauderdale and attended college in Tampa. But it was from the cocaine-fueled New York City social scene of the 1980s that she emerged as the literary model for the ultimate party girl.

I have one issue with John Edwards' confession of his affair...the claims he let his wife know two years ago of his infidelity and they have been dealing with it since then, privately.

Am I missing something, or if he truly learned his lesson...WHY IS HE IN LOS ANGELES SEEING HER TWO YEARS LATER? If he supposedly "learned his lesson"?

The lesson he’s learned is “Cool - I can get away with this.”.

“WHY IS HE IN LOS ANGELES SEEING HER TWO YEARS LATER?”

Paying her hush money and maybe a quickie?

“she asked for it” and it was an Edwards STAFFER who’s adulterous relationship resulted in a bastard child being born.

It’s just sex.
Everybody does it.
blah blah blah

He’s such a compassionate and caring guy that he was just checking up on the child of a former staffer - at three o’clock in the morning in a hotel while hoping to remain unseen.

If Edwards had taken himself out of the race earlier (knowing this would come out), Hilllary would have gotten the nomination and been a tougher candidate than the Obamanation.

“Nuts and Sluts”?

No since he's already admitted it. This is the leftist MSM sending out the message to the many others that if they can't keep the lid on their extra-martial sex with Democrat politicians the MSM will ruin them.

The Breck Girl baby cover-up. Why he claimed on Friday NOT to the baby daddy.

From December National Inquirer:

The ENQUIRER has now confirmed not only that Rielle is expecting, but that she's gone into hiding with the help of a former aide to Edwards. The visibly pregnant blonde has relocated from the New York area to Chapel Hill, N.C., where she is living in an upscale gated community near political operative Andrew Young, who's been extremely close to Edwards for years and was a key official in his presidential campaign.

And in a bizarre twist, Young — a 41-year-old married man with young children — now claims HE is the father of Rielle's baby! But others are skeptical, wondering if Young's paternity claim is a cover-up to protect Edwards.

Meanwhile, Edwards' cancer-stricken wife Elizabeth has joined him on the campaign trail.

In a statement issued to The ENQUIRER through her attorney, Rielle said: "The fact that I am expecting a child is my personal and private business. This has no relationship to nor does it involve John Edwards in any way. Andrew Young is the father of my unborn child."

It’s always amazing to me how Democrats consistantly characterize the women in these sex scandals as sluts, but the men who have sex with them are somehow on a higher moral plain ... ie. Spitzer, Clinton, Edward.

Mary “Mimi” Hockman, who lives in South Orange, partnered with Rielle Hunter on Midline Groove Productions, the video production company that had a $100,000-plus contract to produce a series of videos for the Edwards campaign in 2006.

She emerged from the home about 20 minutes later, saying she was “going to get Chinese food” and could not comment further.

“I’m contractually prohibited from talking to you,” Hockman said, before driving away in a Toyota SUV.

Public records show that Hunter, who began receiving payments for the campaign videos in July 2006, registered to vote at the Redmond Road address in October 2006. At the time, Hunter told a reporter for Newsweek she was “living with a friend in South Orange, N.J.,” according to a story published on the magazine’s website.

I was in a dollar store the other day and noticed that they sell condoms. I'm not pointing this out for any particular reason other than one can get such risk management devices pretty dang cheap.

Maybe Edwards is one of those guys that was married at a young age and never had much "diversity" when it came to women. Or, he is a whore dog and has been banging dirty legs like this one for years. Likely the latter...

Were it not for the fact that she had been around the campaign until late 2007, I might believe that the meeting was only to secure a final deal to keep her out of the way so Edwards could be Obama’s VP.

Well, Johnny boy is a Dhim (or is that Dim?) and we all know that the Dims don’t, can’t possibly lie.

I’m still not even sure that the Breck boy “had sexual relations with THAT woman”.

Just kidding, couldn’t help myself.

5 hours or 5 minutes with pony boy would qualify as a dirty “quickie” not to mention the KEEP THIS UNDER THE RADAR hush money that was probably arranged.

Word has it he was quite flushed with fear when he was hiding out in that Hotel bathroom!

Me thinks his aspirations of Attorney General might have postponed. We will see.

I can’t imagine Mrs. Edwards having to deal with cancer-deal with the thought of not being with your children and then dealing with this asshole husband who humiliates the whole family this way with this dingaling woman.Let’s see I’m dying and now I have to worry about my “husband” marrying a dingbat like this and my children will be raised by her? Oh and now they have a kid together so will my kids be her “step”kids and treated differently! John Edwards should be horse whipped-I hope paternity is established-you know it’s his and that Mrs. Edwards puts all the money in trusts for her kids that he and his bimbo girlfriend can’t touch! What a horrible event for her to deal with-not to meention that stress can cause an illness to get worse.
