RUSH: An update on the John Edwards situation out in Los Angeles broken by the National Enquirer. Two interesting things here: "A hotel security guard at the Beverly Hilton told FoxNews.com that he intervened this week between a man he identified as [the Breck Girl] and tabloid reporters who chased down the former presidential hopeful after what they're calling a rendezvous with his mistress and love child. The Beverly Hilton hotel guard said he encountered a shaken and ashen-faced [Breck Girl] who he did not immediately recognize in a hotel men's room early Tuesday morning about 2:30 and was in a literal tug-of-war with reporters on the other side of the door." The Breck Girl was trying to keep the door closed, and the reporters trying to get it open! Man, it's just hilarious to picture this. Somehow he barricades the bathroom door, starts combing his hair getting ready for his eventual exit but has to call hotel security on his cell phone to come get him.
"The guard at the Beverly Hilton hotel said, 'His face was just totally white.' When Edwards was told the reporters were shouting out questions about Edwards and [this babe] that the Enquirer says is the mother of his child, the guard said he escorted Edwards -- who was not a registered guest at the hotel, by the way -- out of the building after 2:00 a.m. "Edwards didn't say anything after he was escorted out, adding at times the reporters on the scene were rough on him, sticking a camera in his face and shouting questions." Anyway, there's been a criminal complaint filed now by the reporters. Two reporters in the Enquirer have filed a criminal complaint against Edwards because of the way they were treated at the hotel.
Edwards was not a guest. They were registered and they were kicked out while Edwards was escorted out. The plot thickens. The Los Angeles Times has instructed its bloggers that they are not to discuss this. They are not to write about this. They are not to post anything at all about the Breck Girl and the Beverly Hilton hotel being nabbed at 2:40 in the morning. You heard me right. The LA Times' editors have told bloggers at the LA Times there will be no posts on this. Business Week magazine, BusinessWeek magazine yesterday ran a story on why the Drive-Bys are not covering it, five reasons. BusinessWeek! The media is telling us why they aren't covering it.
A, he's not a presidential candidate; B, he's probably not high on the list of vice presidential committees; he is being thought of possibly for attorney general. Nobody, nobody involved in the thing has accused him of anything. They're coming up with all kinds of excuses. Since when n does this stuff matter, all these reasons not to report on it? Why does it not matter? It's because it's a Democrat, because he's a liberal Democrat. That's why I think the Breck Girl, this is a resume enhancement, for crying out loud! Do you know how many people if they, if this were actually confirmed, would not believe it? And they think, "Way to go, man! We didn't know you that way. Cool." These are enhancements in the Democrat Party. These are resume enhancements for Democrats.
It was a struggle between the two Americas.
This is the funniest story I have read in a long time.
Maybe the newspapers are not writing about it, out of respect to the dying Mrs. Edwards, who doesn’t deserve this.
Yes, he is despicable. But, really, couldn’t they wait until she was gone before they revealed just how horrible he is?
Oh, yeah, you are right. She was sick....NOT DYING...she had been in a car wreck and walks with a limp. And as I recall, so does HE. He was tortured and beaten...had his arms broken and never set, then, was hung by the broken limbs to be beaten. At the time, he couldn’t even raise his arms. I would dare say that Mr. McCain may even had been just as “sick” as his wife, if not more so, having just spent 6 years in a Vietnamese prison camp.
Not much of a comparison between a man who had been deprived of even simple nessesities for six years-—like food, water, a bed, shoes...not to mention the companionship of a woman-—going a little wild when he got back home, and a man who has been adored and fauned over; pampered and hailed as a saint for taking care of his dying wife-—who is sneaking around hiding in bathrooms so that he doesn’t get caught..
Other, who also suffered torture, did not commit adultery and dump a loyal wife. Bringing the Other Woman to the White House will not sit well with many women.
If he was this badly tortured, then why did he ask for a get-together with his former captors? Odd way for someone to act.
The comment was that McCain snuck around on a “sick” wife. And what he did was equal to what John Edwards is doing. I do not think there is any comparison. McCain was just as “sick” as his wife who had been in a car wreck. His body was just as hurt as his wife's, if not more.
Perhaps others that endured torture did not commit adultery, but he did. After being married for less than two years, and most of that, while he was away on missions; to a woman who came into the marriage with her own baggage, and two kids that he adopted...McCain and his wife were reunited. They didn't even know each other. They were hurt and broken. They didn't work it out. He was wrong, and he admitted it. She forgave him and supports him, for the last 30 years. It happens a lot. Maybe not to everyone, but to many. Even today. The kids coming home from war, to wives who had been through their own trouble...can not seem to get over it, and they get divorced. The kids do stupid things sometimes. I would hope that my son is not still defined by his actions today, 30 years from now.
I think Mr. McCain has proven that he matured, forgave his enemies, as Jesus told us to do, and is much better in his mind than most of us.
Apparently, going into politics makes you lose your sense of class. You suddenly find very ugly chicks a total turn on. Someone name a sexy political mistress?
I’m waiting...
