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.

I know from her book that Elizabeth has no grace. I know it’s considered inappropriate to tell truths about someone when she’s ill, but I don’t ever consider the truth inappropriate. Cate might well get over it in short order. You know that John boy is telling her to be strong like Chelsea.

MSNBC talking heads have praised Edwards for choosing today to let the cat out of the bag. LOL

[alrea]

What does that have to do with the price of eggs?

Same thing I wondered; maybe he's trying to let friends in the media(there are many)know he's not leaving his wife over this.

[PghBaldy]

Correct, since Dems say McCain was rotten to his 1st wife.

[Axolotl]

You missed my point...Edwards is done...it does not help McCain to introduce this as an issue in the campaign.

"If it's positive, it ain't mine!"

“The difference of course being the media latches instantly on to Republican scandals and hammers them for months, but have to be dragged kicking and screaming to report anything involving a prominent Democrat.”

Pure unadulterated bullsh*t. The coverage of Hyde’s and Gingrich’s indiscretions combined didn’t equal 1% of the coverage of Clinton’s dalliances.

The press also loved Gary Hart’s story. That marked the day that these stories became commonplace because Hart was stupid enough to challenge the media.

John Edwards bio movie. One Ambulance too Many.

Anoreth starts college and Bill starts high school on the 18th. It makes me feel OLD.

You're not old. You've still got all those little ones at home to keep you both young and youthful. :)

[woofie]

That would make the baby 18 months old, and that picture of Edwards holding the baby in the Enquirer shows a baby not nearly that old. What am I missing?

Call Buckhead to run a check on this kid

[Tax-chick]

Young, youthful, and slightly pickled :-). (42, and I worked hard to get this old!)

I’ve been in love with the same woman for 30-plus years,” Edwards added,

"And if my wife ever finds out, she'll kill me."

[Christian4Bush]

“Depends on what your definition of HIS is.”

LOL! Very good!

Maybe a Kinkos employee is the father

Edwards says he had the affair when his wife's cancer was in remission. Does he think that makes him look more honorable? "I cheated on my wife, but it wasn't when her cancer was active." He's insinuating that that makes it okay.

Another thing, Andrew Young has been touted as the actual father. Young worked for Edwards. Does that mean they "shared" Reille. So Young got sloppy seconds? Edwards finishes with Reille and then passes her on down the line? She might be a whore, but she's his whore, and probably the mother of his child. This is all so delicious. I love it when another Dem is shown to be a lying hypocrite. They've done it to Republicans so many times. Turnabout is fair play as far as I'm concerned.

“Who’s John Edwards?

Why he’s the dumba$$ that should have had his girlfriend take a ride with Teddy Kennedy !!!

[Berlin_Freeper]

Disgusting.

[My Favorite Headache]

I am hearing nothing but spin on all networks from the Dem talking heads. “Well he had the affair when Elizabeth was in remission...so she was not severely ill at the time as she became later”

“This is a personal tragedy...we should send our prayers and thoughts to the Senator and his family”

Blah blah blah blah blah.

Bullshit! Call this bastard out! Kudos to the National Enquirer for breaking this.
