BTW, Democrat John Edwards made his wife’s cancer coming out of remission ‘public.’ when he was running for president.

So, if he made it public, then Democrats can’t say now that his adultery is a ‘private’ matter.

Democrats are hypocrites. They want it both ways.

The old saying - when you find yourself in a hole, stop digging - was lost on Edwards. He keeps setting himself up for more and more unbelievable humiliation.

I guess CBS has been waiting for conformation before reporting that Edwards still isn't telling the truth?

Cuz I know for sure that if I were cheating on my wife in 2006 that she would be okay with me traveling across the country to the Beverly Hilton to be alone in a room with my former mistress from 9:45pm to 2:30am (the National Enquirer was keeping time and nobody is disputing this part).

Yeah. That is absolutely plausible. As long as my wife is completely convinced that I am STILL having an affair with the mistress.

(of course, I would be about 3 pounds lightly if my wife WERE convinced of something like this....)

She had GOT to be from California!

Pigeon strikes me as pretty intelligent, thoughtful, new-age type. The ‘new-age’ aspect clouds her judgment, of course.

Rielle has been described elsewhere in the same way that Pigeon describes her.

My take is — Edwards’ narcissism was mirrored beck to him by Rielle’s intense interest in his “soul”. It’s fair to say that both Edwards and Rielle were in love with Edwards — that’s what they had in common.

This is why the scene with Edwards fixing and fluffing his hair with the compact mirror ‘mattered’ — it really was a profound insight into the incredible shallowness and self-involvement of this guy.

Elizabeth Edwards is intent on managing this fiasco, just in the same way that Hillary managed the Lewinsky fallout. Elizabeth cooked up the legalistic “ modified limited hangout” (to borrow a phrase from the Nixon impeachment years) that the affair began on a certain date, was limited in time, was disclosed to Elizabeth by her husband in 2006, and ended in 2006.

The pictures and the timeline associated with them prove that this is a lie — but it gets them past the first few weeks and allows Elizabeth to insert herself into the timeline so that SHE can be the face of the Edwards’ defense. Pretty pathetic, really.

Well, if you were cheating on your wife and pulled a stunt like that, I suspect the loss would be considerably less than three pounds.

The lady in the interview believes the child is John Edwards. It will be interesting to see what else the National Inquirer has on Edwards.

Yeppers..she’s appropriately named Pigeon since she has a bird brain. She’s in tune with her silly meter and quite vacuous to the fact Rielle was involved with a married man...like it never occurs to her how immoral that is!

Forget about John.Elizabeth,Mistress and baby. Its the journalistic coverup of the story for years only to be covered when the news cycle is concentrated on the Olympics.

Shameless example of manipulation by the liberal/democrap media slimes.

Perhpas the Inquirer can get a drinking glass or something used by Edwards and dirty diaper from the kids and run some DNA tests.

You fail to see how Dems try to decide what is private and what is public when it comes to themeslves?

They want to decide for everyone - concerning them and their actions - what is private and what is public.

Hypocrites.

Lemme guess. Just like her pal Rielle-pronounced-Riley, “Pigeon” changed her name to something she thought sounded better than what her parents named her.

It couldn’t have happened if Edwards hadn’t done what he did.

All the blame for everything goes back to Edwards.

Reille needs to spill the beans (all of them) so that any lying coming from Edwards can be exposed.

America is tired of being duped.
