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.
If Elizabeth Edwards doesn’t wake up, she will end up going down in flames with her husband.
Even though Hillary was a nut for “standing by her man”, we all knew what she was about. Elizabeth is just seeming like nutjob to actually keep denying it.
"I think this president has shown a remarkable disrespect for his office, for the moral dimensions of leadership, for his friends, for his wife, for his precious daughter. It is breathtaking to me the level to which that disrespect has risen."
Duplicitous liar.
Yeah, right after his wife dies.
Too bad they can’t get her saying “John told me as soon as Elizabeth was dead, we’d get married and he could adopt our baby and make her legal!”
I have a feeling that is how that was supposed to turn out anyway.
Elizabeth Does Gay Pride alone, without John, in San Francisco.
---snips:
SAN FRANCISCO, June 24 -- Elizabeth Edwards, the wife of Democratic presidential hopeful John Edwards, kicked off San Francisco's annual gay pride parade Sunday by splitting with her husband over support for legalized same-sex marriage.
"I don't know why someone else's marriage has anything to do with me," Edwards said at a news conference before the parade. "I'm completely comfortable with gay marriage."
Edwards made the remark almost offhandedly in answering a question from reporters. The topic arose after she delivered a standard campaign stump speech during a breakfast hosted by the Alice B. Toklas Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Democratic Club, an influential San Francisco political organization.
...
Elizabeth Edwards conceded that her support puts her at odds with her husband, a former senator from North Carolina. She said he supports civil unions for same-sex couples, but not marriages.
"John has been pretty clear . . . that he is very conflicted," she said. "He has a deeply held belief against any form of discrimination, but that's up against his being raised in the 1950s in a rural Southern town."
None of the leading presidential candidates has publicly supported same-sex marriage.
San Francisco's gay pride parade is a campy civil rights celebration, sprinkled with drag queens, leather chaps and nudity. Very rarely do mainstream, national politicians ride or march in the parade. ---snips
I really could write volumes, just culling what I've posted in this forum, about the passive-aggressive nature of the Southern Democrat female. It's been quite a learning for me.
You know I kept thinking she looks strangely familiar.
Hate to see him pull a Michael Schiavo on her in the future.
What's to worry? Gay Everything is now going to be taught throughout the California School System, Elizabeth. That which should have been private is now public.
Gets ya, does it?
Hate to see him pull a Michael Schiavo on her in the future.
"They need to work through the process of hEEling."
...And heeling, and heeling, and heeling (2 years later).
I feel the same way about this that you do, except that Elizabeth Edwards must be absolutely humiliated now. I’m sure she could bear in secret her disappointment in her husband, but it’s got to be really tough for the whole world to know about their personal life.
I don’t believe for a second she gives two hoots about a “private life”. Nor the other “private life”.
Guess you’re right!
Good point.
I guess I wonder why she is coming out swinging and not just going into private right now.
By coming out and insisting it was a one time thing, two years ago and yet he was in her hotel room just the other week... it makes her look like she is lying or stupid. I don’t think she’s stupid.
I heard she didn't put any name for the father on the birth certificate. If the baby WAS the OTHER MANS (Ya sure) why wouldn't his name have been on the BC?
Elizabeth Edwards: "John has been pretty clear . . . that he is very conflicted," she said. "He has a deeply held belief against any form of discrimination, but that's up against his being raised in the 1950s in a rural Southern town."
Gives newer meaning to a lot of stuff.
It was just too weird, that suddenly Elizabeth is out speaking forcefully for subjects that John just wasn't Rielle into.
That’s what I was thinking! If this child belongs to the man who is claiming it, why on earth would his name not be on the BC? The answer of course is that it does not and this man was paid to claim it if asked, but not to put his name out there for child support and except paternity on a child that isn’t his.
You know what makes me mad? That he and Elizabeth (and yes, I am including her in this charade because she is trying to play us all for a fool) think all of us are morons and would buy all of this garbage. “The baby’s not mine”, “It was a liason”, “It ended in 2006”.
Shows what he thinks of his supporters.
I hope they are sitting back thinking about the money they gave him and how it is putting his mistress in a $3m mansion.
And there was a caller on Hannity today who made a good point about McCain bringing his mistress in as first lady. Hannity can say all day “He was gone for 5 years, blah blah blah”. I don’t know what being gone for five years has to do with leaving your wife for your mistress. Not that I am not voting for McCain, but it is kind of a way to highlight a negative on McCain with all of this. I mean this could easily get turned around on him.
I bet McCain will be awfully quiet on this subject.
John Who-? Who cares?
Nice play on words. :-)
Glad you caught it! :)
“Somebody, somehow got pix of him inside that hotel room holding the baby.”
And I keep wondering who that somebody was. Not only did they get the picture, but they released it to the National Enquirer.
There is apparently no picture of the ‘ex’-mistress in that room that evening. Also you know Edwards would have had a cow if he thought there was a picture being taken, makes me suspect it was Rielle Hunter who took that pic. And she did it on the sly.
Either that, or NE had a hidden camera in the room.
I have no sympathy for any of these scumbags. I hope he paid her hush money with campaign funds and gets sent to jail for campaign finance violations.
