Edwards, Rielle Hunter, Busted: HuffPo 's Sam Stein, who got the story rolling, appears to be vindicated. ... P.S.: Always trust content from kausfiles! Never trust content from Jerome Armstrong. ... P.P.S.: Will this be the first presidential-contender level scandal to occur completely in the undernews, without ever being reported in the cautious, respectable MSM? That's always seemed an interesting theoretical possibility--a prominent politician just disappears from the scene, after blogs and tabloids dig up dirt on him, but nobody who relies on the Times, Post, network news or Mark Halperin has the faintest idea why. If this is that case, it will have come along sooner than I would have thought. ... P.P.P.S.: But it's hard to believe the MSM can ignore the story now. Don't think Obama will! ...
Update: Nothing yet. You'd think MSM reporters would resent being played for chumps by Mudcat Sanders, et. al. ... 8:09 P.M. link

This is a surgical strike, knocking Edwards off the VP short list. With that done, there’s no news value to the msm.
What was Edwards busted for?
I hear it’s due to the sudden pregnancy of a subordinate that may be due to his well-groomed manhood.
Spending the night in a California hotel. I think it was the Hotel California...
Affair. Love child.
Sen. John Edwards Caught
With Mistress and Love Child!

Vice Presidential candidate Sen. John Edwards was caught visiting his mistress and secret love child at 2:40 this morning in a Los Angeles hotel by the NATIONAL ENQUIRER. The married ex-senator from North Carolina - whose wife Elizabeth continues to battle cancer — met with his mistress, blonde divorcee Rielle Hunter, at the Beverly Hilton on Monday night July 21 - and the NATIONAL ENQUIRER was there!
There was some discussion yesterday that Edwards could lose half of his hair and body wash kit.
I just found out about this late last night. According to the Politics1.com website, this is what they have to say:
“Strike former US Senator John Edwards from the VP hopefuls list. The National Enquirer secretly stalked Edwards with investigative reporters — much like the famous Miami Herald/Gary Hart encounter in 1987 — until they apparently caught him sneaking out of his purported girlfriend’s room in a Los Angeles hotel at 2:40 am on Tuesday morning.
The newspaper again reported Edwards is the father of the woman’s infant child. Edwards’ wife Elizabeth is terminally ill with cancer. According to the newspaper, Edwards snuck in through a side entrance, then went downstairs to avoid the lobby and grab an elevator up, and then reversed the move when leaving.
When the reporters ambushed Edwards upon leaving the room, he ran into a basement bathroom and remained holed up there for 15 minutes until hotel security was summoned to escort out the reporters. In any instance, Edwards will now be eliminated from any serious VP consideration.
How about this: I hear that Mr. Edwards has had mistresses for years - in North Carolina, and this is, apparently, common knowledge there.
The other explanantion might be this: No one cares about Mr. Edwards, because what you see is what you get, and that isn’t much.
PS: “My Daddy worked in a meel.”
So he IS interested in girls! Who knew?
Hillary’s surrogate David Kendall helps remind Barry that Hillary is available for VP.
He got caught visiting his mistress. He then ran and hid in the restroom like a real man, until security guards came and escorted him out and made the reporters quit picking on him.
National Enquirer is supposedly going to release pics this evening of their reporters chasing Edwards around the hotel. Apparently, there were a lot of witnesses in the hotel so the NE story is verifiable.
