ABC Radio news just announced Sen. John Edwards will admit to the affair with Rielle Hunter in an interview with the network, but insists the child is not his.

We return you to your regularly-scheduled FReeping.

Prayers for Elizabeth, and his children. As if having terminal cancer isn’t enough for her to bear.

I'm sure Elizabeth knew all along.. and ate in frustration.. Plus, Suppressed anger and resentment can trigger any illness or disease we are susceptible to. I only feel for the children who are truly trapped in that hell hole of a home.

Yes, he is is a complete lying POS.

All us Freepers have had him pegged correctly all along.

[Wil H]

The cheating scumbag liar is STILL lying.

Claims “he does not love her”
Claims he is not the father.
Claims the affair is long over.
Claims he isn’t paying her to keep quiet.

So what the hell would he doing in the hotel room of a ex-mistress, with whom he claims he has no romantic or financial ties, who someone else had subsequently knocked up, at two thirty in the morning without his wife’s knowledge?

Doesn’t pass the smell test..

to all: Sean Hannity just had someone on his radio show from the National Inquirer and they said there was more than the one meeting at the hotel last week, and that they have info that 2 weeks before that he also met her there!
HE’S STILL LYING !

“He has pledged delegates, his campaign was ‘suspended’ not ended, he was expected to have a prominent role at the DNC in Denver in 3 weeks, he still could have emerged as the VP nominee (before this news) or even conceivably as a compromise Presidential nominee if the convention deadlocked between Obama and Hillary (unlikely, but that sort of thing has happened in the past)..... he was widely expected to be a likely choice for an Obama Atty General...... so yeah, he was still very much in prominent public life before this was is certainly “fair game” for such information to be revealed to the public.”

He is ‘fair game’ in the sense that this certainly dissolves his political future, but what I am saying is that we should not pile on. I will remind you all that our candidate does not have an immaculate marital history. I am not judging McCain on this, or even equating the two, but I am saying this is not a winning issue for us.

Scum ping.

[greccogirl]

It probably doesn’t “sit well” with her but she’s an idiot like all women are who do this with married men. I have not one iota of sympathy for her. She’s been tossed aside because she’s served her purpose.

Men, use your big heads for a change. Women, stop being STUPID.

[ConfidentConservative]

He channeled the child before it was born and it told him so.
course there is a chance the channeling was off due to some bias on the situation.

[Calm_Cool_and_Elected]

Yep, and if it was 2006, why is he visiting her now?

[Calm_Cool_and_Elected]

[SevenofNine]

Come on admit it dude

Paging Maury Povitch

[weegee]

That’s one way to keep her from getting preggers. Find one who’s already got something in the oven.

[ItsForTheChildren]

I hope they are all embarrassed with themselves and how unprofessional they truly are.

And now we'll have all the navel-gazing cable shows to explore if they've been unprofessional, how unprofessional they have truly been, what caused it and what it all means, blah, blah, blah...

Allegra is a civilian contractor in Iraq.

[JennysCool]

I would not emphasize this politically, given that he is no longer a candidate and the fact that our candidates has a complicated marital past.

As an earlier poster noted, he was still in the Vice-Presidential hunt and likely would have had a high position in a Democrat administration in any case, so you bet this is important.

[Fundamentally Fair]

All us Freepers have had him pegged correctly all along.

Not "all." I was sure he was a f@g. ;)

We do owe Ms Whatshername and her offspring a debt of gratitude for taking this pinhead out of the political landscape. One down, several thousand to go.

[woofie]

Perfectly normal behavior

Go to bed? Hell's bells, where are you, Asia? Africa? Europe?

'Tis 11 p.m. here. ;-)
