She’s been living in a $3 million dollar home and collecting $15,000 a month to say whatever Edwards tells her to. That clearly sits just fine with her while it lasted. The thing is if he stops paying her which seems likely now that it has been exposed her tune may well change - can you say child support?

I feel for Elizabeth but man, I hope she doesn’t just turn the other cheek.

The Breck Girl claims he told his wife in '06? If that's the case, that Liz knew all along, then she aided and abetted her husband's lying on the campaign trail. And she'll get no more sympathy from me.

She could always say she helped in the coverup in order to protect her children from the scandal.

I’m not defending it. Just sayin’ she could always say that, and a lot of people could sympathize with such a stated reason.

Lying seems to run in the family.

...and a lot of people could sympathize with such a stated reason.

Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.

Note to the Edwards: Your kids deserve better than this. From both of you.

“...Imagine explaining this to Elizabeth Edwards. But, she might have known all along...”

Imagine having to explain it to his CHILDREN...THEY’RE the ones who will suffer through ALL of it.

Their mother is dying, they know it, and now their father is being exposed as a lying POS.

Prayers are in order for the kids. Edwards IS a lying POS, but the kids aren’t, and they’re about to be put through Hell because of him.

I look at their faces in that photo, and it kills me. I saw a few families ripped apart from infidelity. It ain’t pretty, and the kids always break the hardest.

My heart and my prayers go out to those three kids.

The real story of the John Edward’s affair is that a huge chunk of America has known this for over a month, to include the MSM, and they are acting like they’re breaking a story.

The msm thinks they are the gatekeepers of information and truth. The fact is their treatment of this story proves them to have no interest whatsoever in the truth.

4 innocent children

Even worse. I know the pain of infedelity and I don’t know any other pain, unless it is the death of a loved one, that is more painful. Well, maybe it is the death of a loved one sort of because trust has died. So very sad.

“Edwards denied paying any money to Hunter to keep her from going public but said it was possible some of his friends or supporters may have made payments without telling him.”

This is known as the "weaselly lawyer loophole clause".

I hadn’t thought about the Clinton’s getting back at Edwards. The story originally broke when Obama left for his European tour. I thought the Clinton’s used their influence to have the story detract from Obama’s world tour. Perhaps they saw an opportunity to get Obama and Edwards together?

This is a prime example of how the “news media” covers for Democrats. They don’t publish a word about this story, and then they allow Edwards a softball interview on a Friday afternoon when no one is paying attention.

Instead of MSM or or lamestream media, they should be called the Democrat News.

He is still lying!

And always will. Because in politics, it is not what you do that counts, it is what you can get away with and cover up that gets you the admiration of your cronies and supporters. You hide your sins, they hide your sins, you hide their sins...we have a degenerate clan of people guilty of frauds and deceits who are running our country - and we are paying them to keep doing it!

It seems like most all politicians must take some secret class somewhere in "Lying 101" before they step out to spoof the public. That class teaches them how to say pat phrases such as "...depends on what the meaning of is, is," "I never heard Rev. Wright say that...," "It is not my child..," "I don't know how those documents got into my bedroom..," "I was inside Cambodia on Christmas Eve of 1968," etc. (The list is too huge to continue!) What is it with most of them? And...it is an epidemic that transcends both parties, unfortunately. I don't care if the lies are about sexual affairs, money, drugs, hiding documents, associations with criminals and terrorists, etc. - whatever - a lie is a lie and one is just as bad as another. They break the trust and assume we, the people of this country are fools. I don't like being considered a fool, it is insulting! But politicians have no compunction about telling lies. They have learned the craft well. Guess that's why most have B.S. degrees. (With apologies to all who have real B.S. degrees from college).

Didn’t the original blurb about a the lovechild come out like earlier this year, during the primaries?

And now it is coming out in full force to insure that he does not get another VP ticket.

The rumors came out during the primaries, but the story that has resulted in Edwards’ admission is recent. The Enquirer found out about a secret meeting between Edwards and Hunter and surprised him at a hotel. They are the ones that have photos of Edwards with Hunter and the baby. That story broke just as Obama was leaving for Europe. The MSM wouldn’t touch it. Fox mentioned it but only after a security guard on duty at the hotel confirmed the events.
