A NATIONAL ENQUIRER investigation has uncovered John Edwards’ mistress, Rielle Hunter – the mother of his “love child” – has been secretly receiving $15,000 a month as part of an elaborate cover-up...

Yeah..I always suspected he was a poofer, even with the wife and 2 kids.
At the very least, BI.
She slept with a married father of young children whose mother is dying of cancer.
Verdict: She’s a whore and he’s a scumbag.
“I don’t see her as mannish looking at all.
I realize that I am swimming upstream on this, but politics aside, she looks to me to be a bright attractive young lady.
We don’t know the whole story on this but disapproving of her possibly inappropriate behavior is not the same thing as trashing her personally, which IMO is unacceptable.”
That’s a difference without a distinction IMHO. Her behavior of getting pregnant by a married man removes her from many’s list of being a “bright, attractive, ... LADY.”
But that’s just me. Let’s all agree that she is a vile female.
She reminds me of Ellen Degeneres. Maybe that's Edward's roundabout way of being gay....
It does reveal her lack of character.
As I see it, all we have so far in this thread is the Enquirer version, not hardly enough yet for a public stoning.
I am sure, however, that you could find an ayatollah or two who would disagree.
If this story turns out to be true, insult her actions, don’t resort to ad hominem attacks regarding her looks.
Well, I guess he didn’t want her living in the Other America. I guess then the Sperm dictate which America you get to live in.
And what of Andrew Young’s wife, the mother of three young kids? Her dear husband comes home one day and tells her, “Honey, here’s how we can bring in $15K more a month. We just pretend I had an affair with Rielle and she is having my baby. Isn’t that nice? You don’t have to do any work at all. You just can’t hold your head up in public and our children will be shamed. But you can go out and get that new Escalade. What a great deal!”
“Man Hands”!!!!
LOL
Comment of the Day nominee!
“There are two types of people in this world Tuco, those with loaded guns and those who dig”
I disagree with you entirely. This is not a gossip story. This is a political story with legs that has been covered extensively by the Enquirer that broke it, Fox, Slate, the Huffington Post among others.
The rest of the LSM is gallantly trying to protect the Silky Pony.
The story is true, let’s move ahead and use common sense. A slimy trial lawyer has not threatened a lawsuit, nor shown any inclination to provide for easy dismissal of the charges.
He could quietly produce a DNA test and end it, but somehow all he’s found time for is to show up at a hotel with said mother of his bastard child.
And no I have not resorted to attacks on her looks, merely her vile behavior.
The baby was due in March or April. Yes, she was conceived AFTER the Edwardses announced her cancer return. Swell man.
Read the reviews of Jay McInerney's book Story of My Life, for which he used Rielle / Lisa as his model for the spoiled party girl protagonist. Nothing if not prophetic, I guess.
Along the path between the covers, Alison swindles men out of money by claiming they've impregnated her and she needs funds for an abortion.
The Enquirer editor insists there are photos, but they’re going to release them on their own schedule.
Story’s not going away, that’s for sure. Edwards would have taken a paternity test months ago if innocent, but obviously he can’t drill his way out of this.”
Looks to me as if he drilled his way into this....
Tough call for a Dem.
If he was a Republican, any public career would be over.
"The money is being funneled to Hunter by a wealthy colleague who was closely tied to the Edwards’ campaign. This same man is also shoveling cash to Edwards’ pal and former aide Andrew Young..."
You don't think he's actually been taking it out of the household funds, do you?
Why use someone "closely tied to the Edwards' campaign?" Pretty obvious answer, I think.
(Besides, in a financial situation like the Edwards', the wife is to simply enjoy the mansion; not balance the checkbook.)
