The baby is John Edwards! At least that's what a former aide to the 2008 US Presidential candidate, , Rielle Hunter (aka Lisa Druck), is claiming.
The woman linked to Presidential candidate John Edwards in a cheating scandal is more than six months pregnant and telling a close confidante that Edwards is the father of her unborn child, The NATIONAL ENQUIRER has learned exclusively.
The NATIONAL ENQUIRER’s political bombshell comes just weeks after Edwards emphatically denied having an affair with Rielle Hunter, who formerly worked on his campaign.
But The ENQUIRER has now confirmed not only that Rielle is pregnant, but she is also living in Chapel Hill, N.C. in a gated community, just a few streets away from Andrew Young, who has been a key official in Edwards’ campaign.
Young has been in charge of looking after Hunter, according to sources, and she has been careful to stay out of sight during Edwards' campaign. A former Director of Operations for Edwards' campaign, Young's last official position with the campaign was North Carolina Finance Director.
He left that job about a month ago — nearly the same time Rielle relocated from the New Jersey area to Chapel Hill.
In a bizarre twist, Young, a 41-year-old married man with young children, now claims HE is the father of Reille's baby.
Heading into Wednesday morning, the John Edwards Love Child story had become the hottest searched on Google Trends.
Bookmaker.com listed John Edwards with +700 odds of winning the Democratic nomination for US President, behind Hillary Clinton at -200 odds and Senator Barack Obama at +130 odds.
Perhaps this is a blessing in disguise for the 2008 Presidential candidate. Edwards becomes the first candidate to receive more traffic hits on the Gambling911.com website than Internet phenom, Republican Ron Paul.
"It should be easy to determine if the child is his," commented Gambling911 Senior Editor, Payton O'Brien. "If it is born with a full head of hair and none of the strands are out of place, it's John Edwards kid."
You must supend belief, DFU! This story is far too big to be held back by the truth!
What’s amazing is that the baby HAS lived this long.
Wow. Why the long face?
She looks like Reese Witherspoon after spending eight hours tumbling inside a cement mixer. You’d think a fancy-pants lawyer could do better.
Why the aka? Are Edwards staffers also secret agents?
Ma! Ma! Where’s my pa?
Gone to the White House, ha ha ha!
She's probably going to make out better by NOT having a test - she'll probably make out better by keeping still...they don't call it "hush up money" for nothing...
True
I bet the OB/GYN is going to be one nervous doctor though! One mistake and he/she will be working in the Two America’s Hospital.
Man, you could chisel stone with that chin.
In 30 years, all she’ll need is a black hat for a Halloween costume.
“If it were any other source than the National Enquirer, I’d think this might be an interesting scandal.”
The NE actually has credibility.
LOL
Eek! John’s so much prettier!
Some are saying this was the political sex scandal the L.A. Times was holding onto. Hmmm. With Hillary having some “bad days” on the campaign trail, and Obama unable to avoid being a lightweight, I had thought Silky Pony was kind of hanging back and (pardon) sitting pretty, waiting for the right time to possibly emerge as the one who could beat the Republican.
If this is true, he is finished: his wife has TERMINAL (G-d forbid) CANCER and he is running for President, and he’s banging the staff? He makes Gingrich look like a wonderful husband.
I just googled Lisa Druck and found out she was a hard partier in the 80s and that Jay McInerney used to date her and used her as the model for one of the characters in his novel “Story of My Life.”
Could be worse. Huma could be preggers.
Why should we even care about the third horse in a two horse race?
Really, why is that? You mean the Enquirer that presented the Bruno Magli shoe photos of OJ? The one that outed the girl that shot up John Belushi? The one that brought Gennifer Flowers out? Come on now. They aren’t wrong that many times!
Ew. Not very pretty is she? I expect if this story has legs watch Elizabeth defend him. Maybe the “I’m dying and I told him to go on”.
Haven’t they though? Never underestimate ol’ Hill.
Why is that?
David Kendall, of Williams & Connally fame, was in charge of vetting for the NE the Clinton scandals during the 'toon's administration.
Who is to say he's not behind this?
Maybe in the general election.
But, in the primaries?
