Senator John Edwards confirmed his affair with Rielle Hunter and his ambush by NATIONAL ENQUIRER reporters at the Beverly Hills Hilton!

Edwards has admitted to repeatedly lying during his Presidential campaign -- and to his cancer-stricken wife.

He told ABC News Bob Woodruff for Nightline that he is not the father of the love child although he hadn't taken a paternity test.

His non-denial-denials to The ENQUIRER articles first reported in October 2007 were "The story is false, it's completely untrue, it's ridiculous."

Edwards also confessed The ENQUIRER was correct when it reported he had visited Hunter at the Beverly Hills Hilton last month. His wife had not known about the meeting.

Since becoming pregnant Hunter has lived under various names and a series of expensive homes in both North Carolina and California.

Edwards denied paying Hunter to keep her silent but said it may be possible friends or supporters of his made the payments.

Edwards says he will now investigate any possible hush money payoffs.

As far as being the father of Hunter's love child, you might as well go all the way now, Johnny Boy.

Submit to a DNA test.

By the way what was it you said about The ENQUIRER's journalistic chops when the main stream media was silent until we gave them more than a smoking gun by dropping a bomb on August 6?

Oh yeah - "Tabloid Trash."

I found it surprising that the actual National Enquirer story doesn't look to have been posted. After all, they're the ones that originally broke this story.

The National Enquirer is becoming a primary source for investigative journalism. Doing the job the lamestream media won't do.

[Luke21]

We need the Enquirer even if it it does give us stories about pregnant pigs on Mars.

Imagine not having them around for this one. I'm sure Murdoch or the Wapo is considering buying it now so this won't happen again.

". . . may be possible friends or supporters of his made the payments."

Oh sure, I remember just last week I wrote a check for a friend of mine's mistress w/o his knowledge.

Happens all the time.

For almost 8 years (even more counting the campaign) the MSM has trashed this marriage.

Every flaw, every past sin (i.e. GWs drinking) has been highlighted in glowing Neon. Yet, they flourish, with their faith in Jesus Christ and love of each other.

The MSM refused to touch this story until it was undeniable.

The "Obama Embeds" then tell us that it is "Insignificant and a PRIVATE MATTER!"

When Larry Craig (R) was caught foot tapping in a Men's room, it wasn't a "Private matter."

Now, Edward's wife is screaming this is a PRIVATE MATTER!

It wasn't a private matter when these Liberal Marxists tried to shove their garbage down the throat of every American.

Edwards denied paying Hunter to keep her silent but said it may be possible friends or supporters of his made the payments. Edwards says he will now investigate any possible hush money payoffs.

Now he is BLAMING his enablers for making the payments and trying to finger them for covering for his sorry A$$?

Never, ever, never, ever trust a Democrat Trial Lawyer.

If Edwards paid his mistress more than the price of a cheap whore, he paid too much.

He has been caught paying her $15 Grand a month. No word if she is going to claim taxes on these payoffs (another great question).

Say it ain’t so Johnie.

[GregoryFul]

These asshats must think that they are like the Mafia goons they take orders from - do anything, to anyone, at any time - and get away with it.

[LaineyDee]

15k a month for “photo journaling” his campaign.... when the NE said she had no prior experience? I’d say that averages out way more than an honest days wage, eh?

[beaversmom]

Remember when it was his staffers that went to the dreaded Wal-Mart to buy his son some electronic game system a couple of years back for Christmas. That was without his knowledge too. This is typical Edwards. What a slickster weasel liar that man is!

[beaversmom]

What was the weasel from New York? Spitzer that was it. Seems like his habit was pricey, but probably less than what Edwards had to pay. Boy, what these men will do for a little “bleep”.

[elhombrelibre]

The Enquirer: more credible than the MSM who feel obligated to report any indiscretions, peccadilloes, or hypocrisies as long as the sinner is a Republican but who do their best to spike stories that sully the reputations and expose the frauds in the Democrat Party. The MSM has a lot to be proud of in this sordid cover up. Now, who among them will investigate the money angles and the possibilities of illegal activities. Let the DNC also as these crimes are found remind all us prudes that sex is a private matter and crimes to cover up sex are the prerogative of their Party to maintain its power.

Don't forget tapping your foot in a bathroom stall. That's one of the worst crimes a republican can commit.

Edwards has admitted to repeatedly lying during his Presidential campaign

Good VEEP match for Obama.

[brushcop]

SkyPilot, thanks for posting that great photo of Pres. and Miss Laura and an excellent point well made. Sure, as true conservatives we have our “issues” with the Pres., but by golly, he’s steady as a rock on moral matters, he rebuilt our miltary, fought two wars and associated brush fires, not counting the personal war against him almost hourly.

God bless W, give him strength and please W, do something with our borders!!

Funny I never noticed before how much John Edwards looks like Ralph Cifaretto.

[Joe Boucher]

I know we can all trust Mr. Edwards to “investigate any possible hush money payoffs”.
Right, and O.J. is doing his own investigation to find his dead ex-wifes killer.

[LibLieSlayer]

Fuggiddaboutit... he would have just whacked da mook from da Enquirer.
