Father of the Year - John Edwards
(Don't look out the window kids!)
Posted on 08/08/2008 1:44:34 PM PDT by Kaslin
John Edwards, the Democrats' 2004 vice-presidential candidate and a potential Cabinet member for Barack Obama, tonight admitted that he had consistently lied about having an affair.
Mr Edwards had been dogged by internet gossip, fuelled by anonymously sourced stories in the supermarket tabloid The National Enquirer, that he had an affair last year with Rielle Hunter, a film-maker, while running for president.
It was also rumoured that he had fathered an illegitimate child in the relationship, an allegation he continued to deny in an interview with ABC News.
In the interview Edwards confesses that he did have an affair with 44-year old Ms Hunter, but said that he did not love her.

Betcha he said something completely different to her as he was getting ready to....well, you know.
Why does this sound EXACTLY like the "I didn't inhale" lie from Bill Clinton?
Greasy trial lawyer and Kerry’s VP pick cheats on wife.
Shocker.
As if that somehow makes him look BETTER?? LOL the ass, it makes him look worse.
Not that My little pony has much substance to him to begin with.
Shocked..shocked..
Yeah, well let’s just see if this gets as much press as Larry ‘Wide Stance’ Craig. I, for one, won’t be holding my breath waiting for it.
Looks like the little pony does the thinking for the big pony...
He’s admitted to the affair but claims it was back in 2006 when his wife’s cancer was in remission. He also claims (all this in an ABC article) that the timing was such that this couldn’t be his child.
In addition, he claims to never have given the woman any money but speculates friends may have done so without his knowledge.
And, while he admits to being in the hotel on July 21st as the Enquirer claims (without his wife’s knowledge), he never explains his presence there, this long after the affair was supposedly ended.
He says also he is not the father of the baby. He says also that he started the affair when his wife’s cancer was in remission.
And we should believe these lies, too?
Being a scum bucket is a plus on a democrats resume
Nothing New...How many is it now that we see in Government that Fall from Grace? Democrats and Adultery seems to go hand in hand lately....
I hope Elizabeth does not stand by his side when he admits his affair Yeegads...it is so humiliatinng.
Ah yes, the familiar old Snoop Doggy Dog lyric defense...
poor kids— his wife will probably forgive and move on.
What a POS! He couldn’t wait til his wife died of the cancer?
He was never in love with this mistress, at least that is what Edwards is claiming.
Does that somehow make him more noble or more loyal to his wife?
I guess he is saying what his wife wants to hear?
It is smart not to have a paternity test. That means plausible deniability.
Let’s put John Edwards on the Maury Povich Show and see whether the paternity test comes back positive or not.

oh, he didn’t love her. it’s okay then. carry on.
O who was the other one the Preacher crying that says Oh Lord I have sinned! Yikes...
Man babies!
As far as he knows. Unless a DNA was complete he as no ideal if he is the father. Let's call in Springer.
This is terrible for his family, but what do you expect from someone with such an ego.
“Betcha he said something completely different to her as he was getting ready to....well, you know.

He probably said “... hey baby, I’m gonna give you the best 20 seconds of your life!”
Mrs. Edwards was shooting her mouth off a lot during his campaign.
I wonder what she has to say now...
Well thank god he “did’nt even spew!’

He just wanted to visit Andrew Young's daughter.
You mean, bend over?
Shocker.
I fixed your post
Maury: And in the case of this little girl, John, you are the father.
John Edwards: What?, no, I couldn’t...
Their Republican neighbor is the real father of Hunter's child.
At last, Cheney now knows why he never met Johnny in his years in the senate.
......and a photo of the woman John Edwards does love:
John's "reality" is that he is a Creepo-American.
n the interview Edwards confesses that he did have an affair with 44-year old Ms Hunter, but said that he did not love her.
Edwards said he knew he was not the father of Ms Hunter's child based on timing of the baby's birth but had not taken a parternity test.
A former campaign aide, Andrew Young, has said he was the father of the child.
Describe the baby.
bfl
Only in his convoluted mind.
I guess he is saying what his wife wants to hear?
Who knows? He's saying what little he can say yet the facts just don't add up.
It is smart not to have a paternity test. That means plausible deniability.
True. But questions remain; especially about what he was doing in that hotel room at that hour, without his wife's knowledge, so long after the affair supposedly ended. Such a tactic won't end the speculation. But I doubt he cares a whit about that.
Edwards needs to take the MAURY POVICH HOME PATERNITY TEST.
Rotten SOB! Elizabeth went on to have a double mastectomy. He is the lowest of low on the totem pole. He is trash!
sw
Of course. Don't we all visit acquaintance's infants at 2 am?
What kind of pig cheats on a wife who is fighting cancer? If this is any indication of the character of this man, then thank God he dropped out of the race!!
When I look at his family picture, it makes me want to barf :-(
Sad to say, but I bet he was hoping for her early demise.
So sad... prayers for Elizabeth...you deserved better
"Are you my baby?"
Saint Edwards the Confessor with Obama the Marxist Messiah
Edwards admits to not loving her at this moment but claims his last hotel room visit was a different story!
"The story is false," he told reporters. "It's completely untrue, ridiculous." He professed his love for his wife, Elizabeth, who had an incurable form of cancer, saying, "I've been in love with the same woman for 30-plus years 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 just false."
So long as he did not drive her off a bridge and leave her to drown, he’s still a pretty good guy as Democrats go. /s
DEMS will forgive Edwards, but when the second lie about him not being the father breaks, he is toast. He might want to brush up on his slimy Attorney skills.
WHY IS JOHN EDWARDS REFUSING TO GO ON THE MAURY POVICH SHOW TO SEE IF HE IS THE FATHER OF THE BABY???
Just ANOTHER lying, POS, liberal that cannot find his own bed and wife (now and then). They ALL seem to have this moral deficiency.
