LIFE OF PARTY IN NY BEFORE SHE WENT BEDWARDS [Rielle Hunter]
New York Post ^ | August 9, 2008 | Paula Froelich and Patrick Gallahue

GOOD-TIME GIRL: Rielle Hunter, the woman John Edwards fooled around with, was into drugs and nightclubs.

The flaky filmmaker for whom John Edwards risked his political future and his family is a former "party girl" who went from narcotics to nirvana.

Rielle Hunter's résumé also includes actress, producer, New Age blogger - and now, home wrecker.

A Florida native, the 44-year-old divorcée grew up in a well-to-do household but is now deep in debt, a source told The Post.

Hunter, born Lisa Druck, first turned up in New York in the 1980s, where she hooked up with novelist Jay McInerney.

"She used to be a real party girl," he told Page Six. "When she wasn't out at nightclubs, she was taking acting classes.

"We dated for only a few months, but in that period I spent a lot of time with her and her friends, whose behavior intrigued and appalled me to such an extent that I ended up basing a novel on the experience." It was called "Story of My Life."

In 2005 she caught the eye of her soon-to-be politico paramour at the Regency Hotel bar. She was out with a group, drinking "like an old cougar fool," a source said. "She's an idiot, a fool, a moron, a faux guru, but not mean-spirited."

A year later, Edwards' political action committee paid $100,000 in a four-month period to a newly formed company run by Hunter, although she had virtually no experience making campaign films, ABC News reported. Hunter directed production of four Web videos showing the presidential wannabe in supposedly candid moments as well as delivering a public address on morality.

“anytime a man has sex with a woman, he is taking that risk. Even with protected sex, sometimes that fails & the woman gets pregnant anyway.”

Yep! It should be shouted from the rooftops to all young men over the age of 12.

Playing "Shame the Slut" gets boring pretty fast.

I don't disagree with the sentiment, but it looks like piling on.

Maybe what you need is a short and pithy phrase that people can post when they want to express the inevitable moral judgement on women like Rielle/Lisa, so that we can get on to other matters.

Did I say every women? No I didn’t.

Which means I know that there are women who don’t put on weight after having babies.

But most do.

BTW most men put on weight as they age and they don’t have the baby excuse.

Ugh. The whole thing is awful and tawdry and it seems so calcuated. But-
I still feel sympathetic; I wouldn’t wish cancer on my worst enemy, and the kids don’t deserve this.

I actually read this rather awful book when I was in high school, because I liked McInerey's "Bright Lights, Big City." The character in the novel was rather ditzy.

I never said there weren’t exceptions. But one has to look at the averages.

Having spent many evenings in the Beverly Hilton in the 60s and 70s, I immediately wondered why he was meeting her there. It’s not that private a place. Why not a bungalow at the Beverly Hills Hotel?

He’s a doofus. He always made me feel vaguely uneasy and now I know why. Jerk. Dummy. Fool.
