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...

Wow! Wonder if she’s collecting for any others?
The Enq’s plan is to use this to boost supermarket checkout line sales for 4 or 5 weeks.... and it will.
Compare and contrast.
The smear about McCain and the lobbyist was on the front page of the NY Times.
Jewish ones. So he could steal their Bar Mitzvah money.
Rielle Hunter - America's Camilla Parker Bowles !
That’s probably the best point being made here. Hmm.
Is it under the table? Having stuck his neck out legally already, Edwards wouldn't be likely to risk running afoul of the IRS. Nor would Ms. Hunter. He could just set up a trust for the child, fund it with $15k for a period of months or years, and not have to admit anything. He could even manage the trust and pay himself for his services, no?
IANAL. "I know nussing!"
I'm sure Edward's wife is just peachy with the hush money. It's pocket change for this ambulance chaser.
C'mon Mrs. Edwards...tell us how scared you are of your conservative neighbor...bwahahhahahaha..
I'm waiting for Gore, Clintons (both of them) and Teddy to reap the whirlwind. ......oooops.... OK, Clintons and Gore.
True. I guess I wouldn't mind working not quite 4 hours . . . a month!
Rielle Hunter looks like a typical, unkempt, liberal skank
PJ-Comix recently posted several good reasons why we should be looking into the Silky Pony scandal:
Ironically, it is liberal blogger Lee Stranahan, writing in todays Huffington Post, who presents some compelling reasons why this alleged scandal is worthy of coverage in the media:John Edwards Matters This isn't a Mike Gravel affair. (Sorry to put that image in your head.) John Edwards been the conscience of the Democratic Party this primary season and a compelling presence speaking out on the growing gap between rich and poor. If he wasn't going to be Vice President, most Democrats wanted him somewhere in an Obama cabinet.
Video Clips Galore! Cable news loves showing video clips, usually in looping montages. Those webisodes that Hunter made that were taken down? They look flirty and suspicious in light of the alleged affair.
It's Fresh The Edwards affair happened during the primary campaign. This isn't ancient history. What if he's WON the primary? Would he really have taken the nomination and handed the race to McCain?
Primary Revisionism Will the affair change the way we look back on the primary? Why did Edwards drop out of the race so quickly? Why did Edwards not endorse anyone until his endorsement was a moot point? Endless debates will ensue.
DNA! The press loves any story with DNA. Drama! DNA test refusals. Acceptance. Test goes out. What will happen? It's like Montel Williams but it takes weeks!
Democratic Convention in Denver happening soon. Will Edwards speak? Will he appear at all? What about Elizabeth? Oh, the drama. You'll see.
"How could he do that to his sick wife?" This whole thing doesn't play well with women voters. Or women non-voters. Or men.
"Should we care about politician's sex lives?" Whatever your answer, that's a hook for the press. As soon as the story reaches a big tipping point, the mainstream press will question the story.
"Liberal media bias" - here's the big one. Republicans have had a lot of embarrassing, juicy sex scandals of their own lately and boy, do they want some payback. It doesn't look good that the Los Angeles Times banned bloggers from discussing the story. Where's the Times investigation - seems like the story is in their backyard. And that silence you hear from the mainstream press right now? The GOP is going to "play the refs" and jump all over the media for not reporting or investigating this story. The media will eventually break down and do what they do - saturate us with the story they missed just to prove how unbiased they really are.
Well it is a hell of lot better investigated than most AP, or main stream media stores are.
Then again, maybe being with him (shudder) for even that short amount of time is work.
“...he cant drill his way out of this....”
Seems like drilling is what got him into this mess.
bttt
Bingo! Edwards entitlement salary from UNC Chapel Hill being spent on mistresses and bastards is typical of the irresponsible behaviour of NC dems.
You know what though..... How about the pajamahadim looking into possible IRS violation. Gifts over $10000.00 per year.... or if the mistress paid taxes on the hush money.
That's where I get my giggles. Cause I will bet that the $15000.00 isn't placed under the category KEEPING YOUR MOUTH SHUT on her 941 form or quarterly tax statement. Did she pay Social Security and Medicare taxes on that $15,000? Did Senator Edwards pay taxes on her behalf and as an employee, a self-employed subcontractor or independent contractor?
Spread this around and find out if any Freepers with the IRS can help spread this around. Who pays taxes on hush money? If it involves crossing state lines and using the post office, are there federal implications involved?
Ahhh... this is just too funny!!!
You know, this conversation doesnt help his kids.
As a local talk show host said, “The good news is that John Edwards isn’t gay!”
Au contraire... $15K is pocket change for slimey ambulance chasing lawyers...
