Edwards: 'I Lied. It's Friday. Can I Go to Denver Now?' John Edwards finally confesses, sort of, on ABC News. He admits he lied repeatedly about his affair with Rielle Hunter, but denies he's the father of her child and specifically seems to be trying to deny cheating on his wife after the recurrence of her illness:

The place will be a ghost town if they outlaw baby-daddys at the convention.

The Democrats have no problem with public officials cheating on their spouses.

McGreevey is sure to be there - why not Edwards too?

specifically seems to be trying to deny cheating on his wife after the recurrence of her illness

Being in a hotel room at 2:30 am with your former squeeze, while your wife is at home sick with cancer and taking care of your children is cheating.

Even if you don't touch her.

“but denies he’s the father of her child and specifically seems to be trying to deny cheating on his wife after the recurrence of her illness:”

So if he’s no longer been whoring after Reille, what’s the purpose of visiting her at the Beverly Hilton other than to be baby’s daddy?

[elhombrelibre]

It’s basically a normal thing for a high ranking Democrat. But beyond that their party is clearly on record as supporting the idea that a man can even perjure himself on this issue and it’s not against the law since it’s a private matter in the eyes of most Democrats and they aver that everyone does it.

The stupid inept MSM will ignore the sins of this DEMOCRAT. If this were a Republican, this would be THE BIGGEST news item for the forseeable future.

Silk Pony is now TOTALLY irrelevant.

You are the father!
No, it’s not true! It’s impossible!!!!!

[geo40xyz]

Just how many of you are surprised

???

[RC2]

Sure you can go John. How many whores do you want when you get there?

[ari-freedom]

mmmm mmmmppphhhh

[RavenATB]

I’m shocked (that Edwards has had sex with a woman)

[toast]

I like your picture.

I can see Johnnycake, coming on his knees up to the podium and Obama reaching down in one of those “be healed” moments like Oral Roberts used to do on TV. Then a light comes up, illuminating the Reverend Jackson and his Bearback Choir

[stevem]

but denies he's the father...

I believe he could prove this before the convention.

[mrsmel]

That made me really LOL! So true!

[maggief]

specifically seems to be trying to deny cheating on his wife after the recurrence of her illness:

Oh, okay, give him a pass. He was only cheating while his wife was in remission. /sarc

PIG!

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders.
