"This was our private matter," she writes.

Obviously, it ain't now. And, she posts it on Daily Kos.

I wonder how many Democrats have actually checked out that website, and seen the hate speech spewed there by the minute.

All this proves, if true, is that his wife knew of this while he was lying and winning the father of the year award. That makes her no better than him.

Even if the motive was base, I remain glad that Ms. Hunter brought the baby to term. I place no wager but money may not be the motive when the ovi are past maximum freshness.

She needs to just stop the hypocrisy anyway, Edwards himself, while running, made some statement to a reporter about how those who run for public office shouldn’t expect to not have their personal lives scrutinised. (I’ll try to find the quote) I suppose when he said that, he arrogantly thought it would apply to others (preferably Republicans), but not him.

She heaps blame on the news media for prying into her family's life, writing, "the toll on our family of news helicopters over our house and reporters in our driveway is yet unknown."

LOL!

Maybe you are right on both counts.

If she chose to allow him to continue his relationship, that is her business I guess. But the lies are what most are upset about. And also, if he wanted to do this, having a mistress and a wife with wife’s permission, why run for President?

She posted at DU during the 2004 election! Wish her well with the health and all, but what a far-left goon.

I don’t understand the fuss - this is the business of Edwards, his wife, his mistress, and no one else. And I say that as someone who loathes Edwards.

Yeah, tell that to the news media. The new Edwards megamonsterhouse is about three miles down the road from us. There are vans from every major area news outlet camped out right across the road from his driveway entrance, even at 2230!

“Yep. John Edwards always hides behind his sick wife and uses her as an attack dog.”

So did Clinton and so many others. It’s amazing the number of intelligent, successful women who still suffer this kind of denial. Stunning. I want to see one of them walk out and slap the guy right upside the head. I have a relative, sweet, beautiful, who would find a way to defend her old man and blame someone else if he was standing over the body holding the gun and admitted he did it. Stunning. I suppose men have the same bad denial trait, but it seems women are much better at it.

...She set him up the night at the hotel.

Interesting conjecture, considering John Edwards is perhaps dealing with a woman scorned! She calls John Edwards to the Hotel with a sob story, makes certain Edwards will not be Vice President, and receives a cash settlement from the National Inquirer! She is paid to get even.

"This was our private matter," she writes.

Typical. Her response (to the rest of us who they CONSTANTLY lecture to) was basically this:

F_c% Off!!

Lady - when your Husband rammed his Liberal Crap down own throats as a Senator and a Presidential Candidate - it was a very Public Matter.

Tell your rich only-because-he-is-an-anbulance-chasing-jerk of a "Husband" to go find his "Two Americas" someplace else.

Good luck lady with your cancer and the rest of your life. You will need it. Next time, don't trust a Democrat Trial Lawyer.

Perel of the NE just said on CNN that Edwards had 2 “meetings” with Rielle at the same hotel. One in June and one in July.

"explain why he was still in her bedroom at 2:30 in the morning just two weeks ago and again a month before that"

Easy. He was counseling. He's been called counselor so many times he believes it.

I saw that movie! That was really good and I have teetered on my views on polygamy since then. Not that I’m all for it, but I understand how a woman who knows she is dying would want to cultivate a relationship between someone she likes and respects with her husband and children.

So sad though.

The law says differently, IIRC. Private individuals have the expectation of privacy, but not celebrities or public officials, nor those who seek public office or celebrity.

Unfortunately, Elizabeth, the media never cared one whit about the family of Larry Craig, did they?

Why should they care more about the family of the lying sack of sh$% called John Edwards?

Sure you are ill but was the family of Larry Craig ill, did anyone care?

Answer is that the media knew all along but hid it because Edwards has that D behind his name, family be damned!

We can speak of all sorts of Republicans the media has put through the wringer, Clarence Thomas comes to mind but no one ever asks the question, "What about their families" so buck up honey, it was he who screwed up NOT the media.

The MSM did their bit, they covered it up until they could do no longer.

Anything is possible. Either way, the child is breathing.

That is all that counts. The rest of this sordid situation will work its way out one way or the other.

Ha! I knew she wouldn’t kick him to the curb. She’s just as addicted to money and power as he is.
