Why was she in Chapel Hill? It’s pretty close to Edwards for an EX-girlfriend.

"Baron insisted he used his own money, not campaign finance funds, without disclosing the sum that he gave Hunter."

Gee, how nice. Now just be a nice little lawyer and file the appropriate tax returns with the IRS retroactive to the date you decided to take these actions.

So, let’s recap..John Edwards has a PRIVATE affair...his best friend tells everyone he’s the baby daddy and another friend pays off the mistress (with his own money, mind you). Either John Edwards has some pretty incredible friends who love and adore him, or has some pretty incredible friends who will do anything to be next to power...which one do you think it is?

Baron said he chose to keep the former senator out of the loop.

B.S., this is just a trial lawyer covering up for another.

Oh, yeah, this is all so believable — one Edwards pal “takes responsibility” as father of the baby, even though he’s married, and another Edwards pal pays some unspecified huge sum of money to get the chick out of NC...... and Edwards knows nothing!!!! Nothing.......

Hey, MSM, if you can swallow this bilgewater you are even more biased and dishonest than I thought.

Let’s see if anyone keeps on the case and demands a real accounting from Edwards and his pals. There are all kinds of questions about sources of funding etc. so it’s much more than merely a sordid tabloid sex scandal. Follow the money!!

Edwards picked himself out a real winner Mr. Ant.

"The videos, which cost Edwards' One America Committee $114,461, were produced in 2006 by an aspiring actress/producer named Rielle Hunter, who proposed the idea to the senator in a bar in New York City."

He met his lovely lady in an effing BAR! But it gets better.

"Hunter: Oh yeah. Actually the reason it was less druggy was because someone referred me to a healer who did a clearing on my energy field. I was in a state of ecstasy for about a week and realized what I was looking for, in terms of medication, was inside of me; it was a higher bliss. With that clearing, all desire for drugs or alcohol vanished."

She expected more than a one night stand.

“I made a decision on my own, without talking to Edwards or anybody, to try to help them move to a community or to try to get away from those folks,” Baron told The Dallas Morning News.

Hey a little help with this, Pissant.

Who are "them?"

Second in line for expressions of gratitude was Fred Baron, chairman of Edwards’ presidential campaign finance committee. “Fred paid Rielle to leave North Carolina out of his own pocket, sheltering her from nosy reporters and giving me ‘plausible deniability’ to charges that I had either an affair or a hand in her departure,” Edwards revealed. “He’s the kind of man who would’ve served a President Edwards well and faithfully. It’s a crying shame that this country won’t have the opportunity to see him in that role.”

What was in it for Baron? Was he promised some kind of influential position in an Edward’s administration?

If the whole story wasn’t true according to Edwards and Hunter, then who cares if the tabloids were hounding her. Eventually they’d go away and quit wasting their time on a non-story.

What was in it for Young, who as a married man, made himself the fall guy by having it said he was the father of Hunter’s child?

People in politics normally don’t just do something out of the goodness of their hearts - there’s always an angle.

Geez - this whole thing reminds me of Clinton and when he and Hillary said they never knew anything about all the scandals relating to him until he read it in the newspaper.
