Uh, you are kidding right? Edwards declared his wife was the greatest person in his life, or some such? So, a man who would do what he did to the "greatest person in his life" in putting his own ego ahead of this one single person.. a person who married him, bore his children, and even when she was told she was dying stood by him while he put politics first, is a person anyone else should be trusting for anything??? Oh I think not.
This guy has no potential for greatness other than as the ambulance chasing slime that he is. He has shown without a doubt he can be great at that.
My comment over at the blog:
It seems to me the likely candidate as the leaker of this is the guy who drove Rielle to the hotel and reserved the rooms.
It’s also **entirely** possible that Rielle herself recognized that her dime was up with Johnny and sold the story to the tabloid. If she did, and the secret held, she could be ‘burning the candle at both ends’, so to speak.
And it remains to be seen if JE is going to be on the hook for child support. Rielle may well be holding the paternity test back until she decides if Daddy is going to (silk) pony up the cash.
A final thought: everyone is feeling sorry for JE’s wife, and rightly so. But it begs the question: did she have motive and opportunity to drop a dime on JE’s meeting with the mistress?
I think we’ve not seen the last of this story by a longshot– it’s going to be political demise by a thousand paper cuts.
Notice that Edwards made every qualification about her EXCEPT fidelity. It's like Michael Jackson saying he'd never (in his mind) "hurt" a child. Or how Janet Reno saying she has "affection" for men.
Edwards spews so much BS that we could stop importing oil and convert to methane.
