ABC Radio news just announced Sen. John Edwards will admit to the affair with Rielle Hunter in an interview with the network, but insists the child is not his.

We return you to your regularly-scheduled FReeping.

So he ordered Russia and Georgia to fight today, to keep this off the front page? :O)

[jennyjenny]

Okay. :)

[SMCC1]

Just saw this on fox news. Yeah right, the kid is not his. Sure.

[Wolfie]

Story? What story?

Sad when the National Enquirer is the only newspaper doing journalism.

[jennyjenny]

It’s from the other America.

[library user]

Yeah right, the kid is not his. Sure.

It can't be. You have to have sex with a woman for that to happen.

[Cyber Liberty]

Who’s John Edwards?

[Dog]

LOL!

The one the media won't report on...

[Crimson Elephant]

If it is his I can’t imagine this sits well with the mistress. Then again, a woman that would take up with such a guy....who knows.

[Bon mots]

[TruthWillWin]

Not his? A threesome?

[indylindy]

Horses patooties Silky. Is too your kid. Do you always bounce your mistress’s kid on your knee?

[Abathar]

If he wants to put it to rest then he needs to do the paternity test.

He said it happened in 2006, and he told his wife then that he did it but he didn’t love her.

What a POS...

[gov_bean_ counter]

Yeah right, the kid is not his. Sure.

Cue the Michael Jackson background music...

[Para-Ord.45]

So his position now on the affair and child is a matter of nuance, right?

I’ve been in love with the same woman for 30-plus years,” Edwards added, about his wife Elizabeth, who is suffering from incurable cancer, “and as anybody who’s been around us knows, she’s an extraordinary human being, warm, loving, beautiful, sexy and as good a person as I have ever known. So the story’s (affair and child) just false.”

[iowamark]

Once again, the National Enquirer does the reportage the MSM will not.

[Cboldt]

What does Rielle have to say?

Pretty funny, Edwards saying "I lied." Well, yeah.

[lainie]

...and “tabloids” are never to be believed, ever.

yep!

[HardStarboard]

I would rather he have been caught in the men room at Atlanta Hartsfield tapping his toe and flipping his pompadour, but this will do just fine if it ends his presence on the National scene.

[Liberal Bob]

Proof he's presidential material.

[Recovering_Democrat]

The National Enquirer covers news better than ABC/NBC/CBS/CNN/DNCTV

[RexBeach]

Lucky for Mr. Edwards that he has that really big house. He must have plenty of couches to chose from when he goes to sleep. Imagine explaining this to Elizabeth Edwards. But, she might have known all along.

Although, this affair, most likely, is like the tip of the proverbial iceberg. He just got caught on this one.

[swain_forkbeard]

Maybe, short of a DNA test, she can’t say for sure who is the father. Wouldn’t be the first time a woman was DATING two (or more) men simultaneously.

[lormand]

This slug had the audacity to think he could do a Clinton and hide this stuff while running for POTUS.

Nobody can out slut Bill Clinton and get away with it.

[JennysCool]

Once again, the National Enquirer does the reportage the MSM will not.

The MSM most certainly will! (If the target is a Republican).

[LikeLight]

Two Americas, Two Women, etc.

[snarks_when_bored]

ABC Radio news just announced Sen. John Edwards will admit to the affair with Rielle Hunter in an interview with the network, but insists the child is not his.

So when the kid gets older, he'll have the warm fuzzy feeling of knowing that his father denied being his father in order to hang on to the tattered remains of a miserable political career.

Yes, that John Edwards is a fine guy all around...

[rightinthemiddle]

So he had an affair with a woman who had another affair?

[Dog]

Johnny isn’t stupid.. he and Hunter are on the same page...just watch.

[autumnraine]

You said it!

The media should be absolutely ashamed. They ignored this and tried to play it off as non-news, when if it were a Republican candidate, they’d be all over it. Wife with cancer? Affair?

I’m sick of the MSM shilling the Democrat Party. I hope they are all embarrassed with themselves and how unprofessional they truly are.

[kbennkc]

Sad when the National Enquirer is the only newspaper doing journalism.

He should have admitted this in an interview with the Enquirer so everyone in the MSM could have gone on pretending .

[NonValueAdded]

Silky Pony must think this is a good day to bury the news but that only works in the dinosaur media. Laura Mercy!

Fox Radio News hasn't mentioned it yet in their 3 PM ET report ... waiting ... waiting ... nope, not covered.

[Allegra]

ABC Radio news just announced Sen. John Edwards will admit to the affair with Rielle Hunter in an interview with the network, but insists the child is not his.

Damn! I was going to go to bed in an hour or so, but now I'll stay up all night waiting with bated breath for this. ;-)

[jennyjenny]

I think what is most shocking to me is that he lied about it all this time. /s

[LongsforReagan]

Does anyone remember when John Edwards would campaign with his daughter (before Elizabeth became famous) and wouldnt point out that it was his daughter? The inference being she was his wife (and more attractive).

Only a Democrat.....

[eleni121]

This just goes to show that the dinosaur lame stream media is done...cooked its own goose by taking sides and hiding and lying about events and people.

[Allegra]

Nobody can out slut Bill Clinton and get away with it.

LOL!

[AbeKrieger]

He’s probably a Muslim also.

[KansasGirl]

So does this mean he will now get to speak at the Rat convention along with Bill Clinton?

[Sooth2222]

So does this now increase his chances of being appointed Obama’s Attorney General?

[mewzilla]

Huh. Why the modified limited hangout, I wonder....

[jennyjenny]

No, to put it to rest I’ll bet he wrote a check and forced her to sign a piece of paper.

[motoman]

Maybe the National Enquirer should run with the Obama certifigate scandal....

[angcat]

LOL

She's the whore not him!

[JennysCool]

It certainly seems worth waiting up for! :-)

Hope all’s well. By the way, your tagline these days is one of my favorite Dire Straits tunes!

[sauropod]

Knew this would “break” soon.

[sappy]

Edwards. Take the Paternity Test.
Kerry, sign and release the Form 180. That should do it for the un-dynamic duo of 2004.

[mass55th]

"Yeah right, the kid is not his. Sure."

Yeah, really. If the kid isn't yours, why go visit the mother and kid in the wee hours of the morning at a hotel you're not even registered at.

[jennyjenny]

And to think this is the son of a mill worker!
