WASHINGTON -- Only three weeks ago, John Edwards fielded media questions on his chances of filling the vice-presidential slot on Democrat Barack Obama's ticket or a Cabinet position in his administration. On Wednesday, the former U.S. senator, presidential candidate and 2004 vice-presidential nominee refused to answer questions that took a tabloid turn.
About a dozen reporters and photojournalists attended a speech Edwards gave to an AARP Foundation symposium on poverty and aging in Washington.
Afterward, he avoided a crowd of waiting reporters, at least some of whom wanted to question him about recent reports in the National Enquirer that alleged a sexual relationship between Edwards and a former campaign videographer and an ensuing cover-up.
Citing unnamed sources, the Enquirer published a story in October claiming that Edwards was having an affair with a woman who had filmed a series of campaign videos, and that he had gotten her pregnant.
Last week, the Enquirer posted a story online claiming that Edwards had visited the woman, Rielle Hunter, and the child July 21 at a Beverly Hills hotel.
In October, the woman posted an online statement denying the first story.
In December, a male campaign worker for Edwards, Andrew Young, claimed paternity of the woman's then-unborn child.
On Wednesday, Edwards apparently exited through a side area used by the kitchen staff at Washington's historic Hotel Monaco.
Edwards emerged near the rear of the hotel with two men. When approached by a reporter, Edwards said, "Can't do it now, I'm sorry" and quickly walked past.

But...
If you mention it, you’re a right-wing hate monger.
Doncha remember how this all worked with Monica-Gate?
Is that John Edwards running around with his pants around his ankles?.....
Another Democratic Party Kodak moment!....

I love Andrew Young throwing himself under the bimbo.
Heck, most of us are standing at the grocery counter waiting for the next issue to hit the stands.
“you’re a right-wing hate monger.”
I’m more a right-wing libertarian, but you got the hate monger part right on. I do sincerely hate anyone predisposed to the opinion that it is OK to sacrifice my paycheck on the alter of socioeconomic justice for people that are too lazy to work for the true socioeconomic justice available by spending 1/4th of your week working for some agreed-upon amount of money.
God bless run-on sentences.
Hopefully not the broom stick!

... rule 1:...deny...deny...deny
Drip...drip...drip...
The story is slowly getting out into the MSM.
But still so slow...since it is a Democrat! So bias. If this was a R, it would be in the paper and on the blogs all day long.
The HUGE moral dilemma now confronting the Silky Pony is...
..Does he continue paying Andrew Young his monthly bribe now the gig is up?
No argument. But at least this story is getting out (finally).
I have no doubt that it is true.
John Edwards is a LAWYER. He was a smarmy ambulance chasing lawyer.
If there was a shred of untruth about it, he’d be calling for a press conference to defend himself, shred the Enquirer, and tell them to expect their ass to be sued off them.
It is true.
