Edwards 'Love Child' Story a Christmas Present from Hillary?
American Thinker ^ | December 19, 2007 | Rick Moran

Posted on 12/19/2007 9:04:45 AM PST by IrishMike

I debated putting this story on the blog due to the fact that so far, the only media outlet carrying it (outside of blogs and publications like Slate) is the rag that broke the story; the National Enquirer:

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. You can see my dilemma. Do I feed the scandal mongering by publicizing the story or do I go all noble on you and not comment on it?

Perhaps we should examine the story from the standpoint of who might be leaking it. And for that, we need look no further than the man who is in the process of buying the Enquirer. Ed Morrissey explains:

Last week, Bill Clinton severed all ties with Rob Burkle giving as a reason "potential conflicts of interest."

Why people who run against the Clinton's always end up getting smeared with the most spectacular scandals?

What was it Hillary said when people refused to submit to her thighness? “Now the fun begins”, or something like that. Indeed it has.

Confusing.....DRUDGE has blurb that ABC poll shows Obama with 33% and Hillary 29%, Edwards 3rd.

Immediately below, reads:"POLL-Edwards leads in Iowa.

“How could loveless Edwards father a lovechild ?”

Not true.

Edwards is in love with himself. He’s been known to shout out his own name during love making.

Well at least the National Enquirer has more credibility than 60 minutes.

The National Enquirer is the official hit-media for Hillary Inc. Owned by Clintonistas, they’ve now lashed out at Oprah, Obama and Edwards.
Clinton Inc is big on the ‘scorched earth’ method of operation.

I think Edwards started these rumors to combat The Breck Girl image.

Ain't working Johnny.

From the article:

"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...In a bizarre twist, Young, a 41-year-old married man with young children, now claims HE is the father of Reille's baby."

If Reille is, in fact, pregnant, and if Andy Young is saying he's the baby daddy...it may well be that this is Edwards lovechild. If that's the case, I have no problem (this time) with the Clinton Smear Machine taking him down. That's a lot of IF's, but it'll be interesting to watch this one unfold.

This is a big risk for Hitlery. Sure bring Edwards down at the expense of making Obama the clear winner in Iowa. Hitlery has a big problem in Iowa in that her support comes from groups that have never voted before in the caucus system. This won’t help her win, it will strengthen Obama in Iowa and abroad. The campaign is in panic.

If there is anything to this, and I seriously doubt that there is, the one person I feel sorry for is Elizabeth Edwards.

Don’t know how many people remember this but back in I think it was 1994 the clintons found Edwards and put him up against Lauch Faircloth in NC because Faircloth had opposed them on some crucial issue or other - Whitewater, Healthcare, military, I forget.

So they made Edwards and now they’re going to destroy him.

The clintons are great friends to have until they’re not hehe.

Isn’t one of the Clinton’s legal team also an attorney for the Enquirer?
