Report: Edwards' Ex-Mistress Held Particular Scorn for Elizabeth Edwards (MSM had a scoop in '06)
Fox News ^ | 8/11/2008 | fox news

Posted on 08/11/2008 8:22:22 AM PDT by tobyhill

Elizabeth Edwards has "bad energy," claimed the woman who had an affair with two-time presidential candidate John Edwards, according to Monday's online edition of Newsweek magazine.

Rielle Hunter, the mistress at the center of the political storm around Edwards, held the former North Carolina senator in high regard. However, the party girl-turned-healer-turned-videographer was apparently less generous with her former paramour's wife.

"I've only met her once," Hunter told Newsweek reporter Jonathan Darman in late 2006 during a lunch in which she mistakenly cast him as a friend. "She does not give off good energy. She didn't make eye contact with me."

Good catch.

This snippet implies that Hunter and Edwards were indeed actively involved at the time that Edwards' wife was diagnosed as being out of remission.

.... in late spring of '07, .....I asked Rielle if she was dating anyone. She answered simply, "I'm in love." I asked, "Who with?" "I can't tell you,"....

Ah-HA! Now the timeline is perfect. She gets fired by the campaign, decides she is "in love" with Silky, and then conceives and delivers HIS child right on schedule.

Edwards is NOT going to be able to deny the kid is his for very long. The '06 timeline was FABRICATED to allow Pony to claim he was a scumbag while his wife was in remission, as if that is any kind of mitigating factor.

There once was a moonbat named Druck,
Whom John Edwards would frequently
She procured the name Rielle,
For fame and Ole Slimy,
Now with the shame,she’s stuck.

If her name is pronounced Re Elle, the lyrics have to be redone.

It will be interesting to see how this impacts the progression of her disease.

Maybe Elizabeth didn’t have to look her in the eye. She probably already knew that woman was a ‘ho.

Jonathan Darman, Newsweek

He had dinner with Rielle Hunter, exchanged emails, phone calls , kisses on the cheek but he never had a chance to ask her if she was having an affair with John Edwards (but he was 'covering' the Edwards' campaign)?!

Harry S. Truman said, “A man who cannot be honorable in his marital relations cannot be expected to be honorable in any other.” And if the converse also applies, this should have been apparent from his shenanigans on the Senate Intelligence Cmte..

Seems the DMV doesn't understand that when you register a car AND transfer title 3000 miles away, you really don't need a CA registration anymore and it's not nice to take money that isn't theirs.

We had that problem too. Lots of phone calls and faxes later we finally resolved the "issue". Thankfully, we didn't get to the garnish portion of your story.

How do you expect to be taken seriously if you don’t start the list with Bill Clinton?

The saddest thing is, this repulsive creature brought an innocent child into her delusional world. Shudder. I hope someday she is not dying of cancer while her husband dallies with another.

I screamed at Kristin Powers on Fox when she said it had nothing to do with his ability to lead! Sean said but it goes to character and she started siting FDR and some other leaders but I thought her generation has a very low bar for morals-character and what a man is-very sad!

The most sickening part of Edwards interview with Bob the other night was when he mentioned McCain’s previous affair in his 1st marriage, and then said something like, “But I am not going to be the one to bring that up”....

That comment reveals all we need to know about this unrepentant, evil & deceptive heart inside of John Edwards. He has no love for his wife, he has no respect or compassion for what his children are going through, and he fully intends to remain with this woman with the weird first name who has recently given birth to his child. He would do anything or say anything to put himself in the best possible light. He has contempt for everyone involved in “outing” his affair. You do not go from total denial of “tabloid trash” to full acknowledgement of your moral failures that quickly if it’s sincere and genuine. It was not 99% false, in what the Natl Enq reported. There is no part of anything they have reported so far that has been proven false at all.

The cover up — the payments to her so she will not name the father on the birth certificate — the blackmail done to Andrew Young’s wife so she will endure the shame of her husband “admitting” to fathering this child — all of it is part of the wickededness of evil men and women who delight in their own pleasures, regardless of the price to the innocent children and families involved.

We need to leave Elizabeth alone. She’s dealing with the horrors of cancer and raising her children to not become just like their idiot father. She’s not responsible for what that guy does and says, I don’t care WHAT statement she supposedly put out there. How do we know John didn’t WRITE her statement and say it came from her? We don’t. The reality could be in her mind that as her cancer really IS progressed as far as I believe it is, this “woman with the weird first name” is going to be raising her children as their step-mother. That has to be in the back of her mind, like it would for any of us in her situation.

We know John E is lying every time his lips are moving.

How do you expect to be taken seriously if you don’t start the list with Bill Clinton?As nuts as he is, he did not murder his wife (OJ and King Henry) nor cheat while she was dying with underage kids in the house (Edwards), nor marry one of her daughters (Woody), nor violate his position as Defender of the Faith (Prince Charles). I realize BillyBob is an ass, but he does not deserve top spot.

She’s of my generation. We don’t all think the way she does. FDR died between the legs of a woman who was not his wife. They’d been a couple for more than 2 decades while his marriage to Eleanor was an ongoing sham. They (he and Eleanor) had 6 children with 17 divorces between them. Nothing dysfunctional there. Jacques Chirac lunches every afternoon with his daughter who is institutionalized. He has 2 daughters, one who sleeps with everyone (including Nic Sarkozy, which infuriated her mother Bernadette because Nic apparently ejaculated on the family’s sheets - no lie) and another one who entered medical school anorexic, then became suicidal and leapt off a building. Chirac blames himself for her troubles and ascribes them to the fact of his serial infidelity. No dysfunction there either. I have a friend who, at 34, is a dean of a business school. At 14, she picked up the phone and overheard her father cheating on her mother. She struggled with telling her mother or not. They eventually divorced. This competent woman has always had what she calls ‘grey areas’ in her relationships with men. She can’t just see one at a time. Last summer her 60 yr. old father married a 40 yr. old woman. She is now seeing someone who is 54. Are we having fun yet?
