SUMMERTON, S.C. (AP) — Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards says a tabloid story that he had an extramarital affair is untrue.
"The story is false. It's completely untrue, ridiculous," Edwards told reporters Thursday after he was asked about the National Enquirer report.
The supermarket newspaper reported that the former North Carolina senator had an affair with a woman who worked on his campaign. It did not identify the woman, nor did it name the source of the information for its report.
Edwards said the story was simply "made up" and that he loves his wife, Elizabeth, who is being treated for an incurable form of cancer.
"I've been in love with the same women 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," he said. "So the story's just false."
I think he’s being sarcastic since Ann Coulter called Edwards a faggot.
Yeah right, Hillary's campaign really needs to draw attention to a sex scandal.
On the other hand, that could be just exactly what she wants us to think, or not think.
Gosh this is all so confusing.
I tend to doubt this is true. If it is, shame on him and if it isn’t, I’m sure he’ll sue. I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt but if he blames any Republican for it, then all bets are off.
Is that what he said? "NOT ONE TIME"? I guess he meant more than one time. We were probably all supposed to get it.
I’m taking a bet right NOW THAT THIS STORY IS TRUE.Do you want to bet ???
He is der slickmeister!
LLS
I totally believe that the story is accurate.
Even if it isn’t, I also think that it is just desserts for one of the scummiest (i.e. Edwards) persons to ever come down the Pike.
(..........the perpetual mantra of Democrat Senate and House members).
...that kisses back..
“The supermarket newspaper reported that the former North Carolina senator had an affair with a woman”
REALLY?
A WOMAN?
“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,”
And if his wife ever finds out, he’s a dead man!
Since Mr.John likes lawsuits so much I would think that if this were untrue that he would threaten a lawsuit. However, he hasn’t and it appears he won’t because then the world would find out who the other sexy woman is in his life.
LOL. Could it be the Edwards campaign’s answer to Ann Coulter (plant the idea of John Edwards as woman-adoring stud), while taking the spotlight away from the Hildebeast at the same time, and making both John and Elizabeth look sympathetic for facing false scurrilous story??
I’m pretty cynical and contemptuous toward ALL of the leading Demagogues, but I would be astonished if that were really the scenario. Who knows, stranger things have happened.... it would be a THREE-fer for the campaign.....
an aside: I have hardly ever even seen a copy of the National Enquirer, but I just came off a 4-hour flight the other day in which the guy next to me was “reading” a copy of it for just about the entire flight. I kept waiting for him to put it away and read/do something else, but he had the same issue (and it didn’t look very thick) in his hands for almost 4 hours, flipping back and forth all through it. I couldn’t imagine what could hold anyone’s attention for 4 hours in such a publication, but now I know!!!!
I agree.
Well everybody can hate me for this one.
He gets a pass from me, like this is news, there is no way in hell that the only woman on earth he’s having sex with is his wife. If my wife gained that much weight you could guarantee my sexual needs would be discreetly fulfilled elsewhere.
Yes, I know vows, this, that, REALITY is if YOU look like Liz Edwards and your husband hasn’t joined you in the I don’t care what I look like club he is finding satisfaction elsewhere with a very high degree of probability.
Maybe he looks at his wife and sees this girl. The girl he met and fell in love with in college. Maybe he looks at her and sees the woman who went through several very difficult procedures in order that they might have more children. It's difficult to say what is in a person's heart, even if that person is John Edwards. Although it's not outside the realm of possiblility, for the sake of his family, I hope he isn't fooling around.
bump
This should put Edwards back in the lead for the nomination
