Yeah, thanks — they are both glowing brightly for that photo — must have been a rather ‘hot’ book tour for Edwards to have his new mistress at his beck and call — and she was getting paid $114,000 by the campaign to spend 6 months on the tour with him? She was the official videographer for such big bucks??? Cozy deal for both I’d say.......

"since the wife KNEW about this in 2006... did she get him to run KNOWING THIS WOULD COME OUT and wreck his life and political career forever to get back at him for cheating with a skank???

The skank told the reporter that the affair STARTED WHEN HIS WIFE WAS IN REMISSION.

WAPOS! Like that makes it alright.

There may be plenty of other photos of the two of them, if only more of the MSM will bother to scour their files..... the ones they could not bother to look at when this story first broke last year...... sure, she was just the official campaign videographer.......

Photo Shows Edwards, Hunter Together At Dallas Tour Stop

http://www.nbc5i.com/news/17138132/detail.html

POSTED: 6:13 pm CDT August 8, 2008
UPDATED: 6:32 pm CDT August 8, 2008

FORT WORTH, Texas — A photograph taken by an NBC 5 employee shows former presidential candidate John Edwards with his videographer, Rielle Hunter, 42, on a stop in Dallas in 2006.

The pair were in North Texas during Edwards’ book tour.

Edwards, who won praise and sympathy as he campaigned side-by-side with his cancer-stricken wife, Elizabeth, admitted Friday he had had an extramarital affair with Hunter.

Hunter was working for Edwards producing videos for his campaign.

NOW I HAVE SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO WATCHING (NON-STOP EDWARDS COVERAGE) INSTEAD OF THOSE BEIJING OLYMPICS!

Yes, the Dem Convention has just been sexed up; and with a teaser: "I am not the father".

This whole thing is just too darned trite. It couldn't have happened more perfectly to take any and everyone's eyes off the dem "fallout" between their special interest groups and coalitions.

But.. whoever wrote that for John Edwards really screwed up making Miss Rielle out to be the cause of his "downfall" and the "other guy". Dems are thinking this'll be an empowerment message. Perhaps that's what they wished; but rule #1: You don't slam single women. And Edwards just did.

The "strategists" protected the married couples (Clinton, Edwards, Baracks) and basically implied that single mothers would get cash, nice cash each month but they had to agree to take the fall as the "problem" and cause.

I'd have given my eyeteeth to have quietly observed those discussions and transactions behind the scenes.

for Edwards to have his new mistress at his beck and call

As far as I can figure, this is a resume enhancer for a Democrat; it's so European.

What a pathetic con artist.

Is that really the headline, or did you fake that...? Sorry, but I don’t believe ABC called him Liberal.

Just watching the news and he is denying the child is his and said this affair occured in 2006 and that he had told Elizabeth about it back then.

What a pathalogical lier.

Ma, Ma, where's my Pa? Telling ABC I'm a slut, Ha! Ha! Ha!

Grover Cleveland, wasn't it?

Anti-Grover Cleveland political cartoon of 1884 (cropped), recounting the story that he had had an illegitimate child (giving rise to the infamous campaign chant "Ma, Ma, where's my Pa? Gone to the White House, Ha! Ha! Ha!").

Well I have the title for the Hollywood movie that should be made about the downfall of John Edwards with his hot video-cam mistress:

“SEX, LIES, AND VIDEOTAPE”

I think my original headline was simply “Edwards Admits Affair” in the interest of speed in posting. It’s been added to by the mods during the course of the day.

It's real nice he was defending his wife right around the time his fling would have found out she was pregnant. /sarc

That is a very good and valid point.

The journalist want to be just an observer when it comes to watching the Taliban execute women, but when it suits their fancy, influence the world politics.

ROFLOL...... Oh, my..... John Edwards and Chris Matthews going on about how awful it was that Ann Coulter did not express shame...... the irony is too rich...... maybe the lying huckster John Edwards can spend some time and energy expressing his own SHAME for awhile now......


MATTHEWS: Elizabeth had one — I think Elizabeth may have made one strategic error last night. That’s assuming that she could get Ann Coulter to express shame.

J. EDWARDS: I don’t think she has any shame. There’s no doubt about that. And her response to any effort to raise the dialogue, to talk about things that people care about, is to attack in a mean, hateful, mean-spirited way. I think that’s just the way she behaves. That’s who she is. And I think that’s a lot of what we see from these people who are just — that are crazy. I mean...

MATTHEWS: Yes.

J. EDWARDS: I mean, there’s nothing remotely mainstream about them. And normal people are repelled by them.
