A man who once claimed to have fathered the child of John Edwards' mistress says in a book proposal the former presidential candidate is the real father and that Edwards and worked with his campaign finance chairman to hide that secret, according to a newspaper report published online Saturday.
The New York Times said the book proposal by former Edwards aide Andrew Young states he helped facilitate the affair between Edwards and Rielle Hunter. According to the newspaper, Young wrote that Edwards once told Hunter they would wed after Edwards' wife, who has cancer, died.
Edwards told Hunter that the ceremony would be held on a rooftop in New York and the Dave Matthews Bands would make an appearance, the newspaper said, citing its examination of the book proposal.

Silky Pony was waiting for his wife to die and already had fantasies about his next marriage! No sympathy for Elizabeth Edwards who did not kick him out.

Edwards told Hunter that the ceremony would be held on a rooftop in New York and the Dave Matthews Bands would make an appearance, the newspaper said, citing its examination of the book proposal. This DEFINITELY needs to be a reality tv show.

I am going to assume that the mother is seriously ill and is keeping it together for her young designer children.

Yahoo failed to mention that Andrew Young was not just an aide to Senator Edwards. Young was a pastor, mayor of Atlanta, U. S. Ambassador to the U.N. in the Carter Administration (which he was forced to resign when he met with a representative of the Palistinian Liberation Org.). Also a civil right activist who was a friend of Martin Luther King and he helped write the l964 Civil Rights Act.
What on earth would make Young take the fall for Edwards?

This is the white Andrew Young. You would need the white one to explain the appearance of the baby.

You’re thinking of the wrong Andrew Young. Edwards would have never paid the former Congressman, mayor and ambassador to claim to be the father to Rielle Hunter’s baby, since the baby clearly couldn’t have had a black father.

Thank you all for setting me straight!
I could have sworn during all the hoopla over this issue that the MSM actually interviewed Andrew Young in his gated community in NYC.
Sorry all for my stupidity.
