What Rielle Hunter Told Me
Newsweek ^ | 08/10/08 | Jonathan Darman

Posted on 08/10/2008 12:13:24 PM PDT by BunnySlippers

When I next saw Rielle weeks later, she told me that she'd been fired by the Edwards campaign. She seemed perfectly cheerful about it, but she proceeded to tell me a tale of woe—how the campaign hadn't understood her, how they'd ruined the Webisodes, how they'd impeded her vision and how Edwards himself had failed to defend her. The chief villain in this saga was Elizabeth Edwards. "Someday," Rielle said, "the truth about her is going to come out."

[snip]

But I didn't. I stayed in touch with Rielle for months. At lunch at the Soho House in late spring of '07, Rielle told me that she and novelist Jay McInerney were working on a "genius" idea for a television show about women who help men get out of failing marriages by having affairs with them. She said they wanted to pitch this idea to Darren Star, creator of "Melrose Place" and "Sex and the City." At lunch early that summer, I asked Rielle if she was dating anyone. She answered simply, "I'm in love." I asked, "Who with?" "I can't tell you," she said, "but maybe someday we'll all be friends."

Hunter was milking Edwards for money telling him that he was the father.

And the MSM has yet to report on the fact that she is Duncan Hunter's daughter.

she was ready to pawn her cheatin’ husband off on America...my sympathy has faded into pity....her life is now a country western parody.

I don't feel pity, just sadness at the greed and lust for power that all of them share. Elizabeth is in this up to her chin with eyes wide open and she is lying to the American people too for the political gain of her lying husband. There is no honor or honesty in any of them.

You’ve got to be joking. If Edwards knew or even thought he was not the father of that child, he would be all over the National Enquirer like white on rice. And Rielle would be renting herself out by the hour to pay for diapers.

And why would Edwards donor and DNC heavyweight contributor Fred Baron be paying $15,000 a month to the mistress of a petty criminal like former Edwards aide Andrew Young?

Duncan Hunter has a 44 yr old daughter formerly known as Lisa Druck who changed her name to Rielle Hunter?

I can't help but remember her vile attacks against Ann Coulter, trying to get him elected.

And don't forget what E.E. said about Lynn Cheney. Worse than vile.

Nope, not true. Duncan Hunter has two sons, no daughters.

Nope.

I think he continued to do the horizontal mamba with her until the Enquirer outed them last fall. That's also when he probably first told the Mrs. - after he had been caught by the Enquirer.

When his girlfriend turned up pregnant, he believed it was his. He arranged for his buddies to pay her off and to pay off a campaign aid to fall on the sword and claim to be the father.

After the baby was born, her financial demands kept increasing. He then arranged to meet with both his girlfriend and "their baby" at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, claiming that he just wanted to spend time with her and the baby. At some point during the several hours they spent together he slipped a Q-Tip in the baby's mount and collected the necessary cell samples.

Later, he had a flunky ship the baby's DNA sample and one of his own to be tested. Only after he got the results, could he decide what he had to admit to and what he could deny.

He has probably clued her off that he knows that he is not the father. She doesn't want to do a DNA test because she knows he is not the father. A public DNA test will remove any leverage she has left.

It was so easy for him to do a DNA test without anyone knowing that it would have been incredibly stupid for him not to do one. He may think with his little head, but he was a successful plaintiff's trial attorney and a fairly successful politician.

Fact? Where do you get your facts these days? Is this the latest rumor or did you dream it up all by yourself? I think you know better.

I am convinced that Edwards is NOT the father of the baby.

If he's not the baby's father, there's no proof of the affair. So why would he confess to the affair?

“To quote Hillary, I have to suspend disbelief to accept your assertion....at least in American culture...perhaps French....but not AMerica.”


I personaly have known two different women who were in such arrangements, and I do not go poking into peoples personal lives. I do not believe that these conficences are generally told to strangers.

I asked a friend, and she came up with another example. I therefore suspect that it is more common than might be thought, especially if you hang around with “new age” types instead of Christians, as I tend to do.

lol......I cannot picture little breckboy and rappers....but the song would be about his fat/white/bitch and her being a downer fits with what edwards has been up to.....sad, but true.....I think the only thing holding that marriage together was the dream of the white house, without it ms edwards can be replaced with a healthier fertile model....
