On Sunday, as I was sitting in my summer cabin in Vermont, completely absorbed in a New York Times story about John Edwards' affair with Rielle Hunter, I began reading a paragraph whose message shot through me like a sudden bolt of electrical current. The story centered on Ms. Hunter's refusal to take a DNA test to determine the paternity of her 5-month-old daughter, but that was not what startled me. It was this: "Ms. Hunter was born in Fort Lauderdale. Fla., in 1964 as Lisa Druck and moved to New York City in her 20s, becoming part of a Manhattan social scene that included the writer Jay McInerney …"
Here, I jumped up and blurted loudly to my wife, Judy: "Good God! John Edwards was having sex with the daughter of the guy who taught Tommy Burns how to kill horses by electrocuting them!"
That single line in the newspaper brought back vivid memories of one of the most fascinating stories I ever worked on, a tale that led me to trooping through show-horse barns, talking sotto voce to lawyers and FBI agents, going out of my way to meet sources, including Burns, in various hidden caves, coves and coffee booths. Indeed, in 1992, back in the days when I was an investigative reporter for Sports Illustrated, I spent weeks digging into reports that slowly evolved into one of the biggest, most gruesome stories in sports, a scandalous tale about a large group of rich and prominent horse owners -- millionaires,

Perfect.
Alison Poole lives!!!!!
Well, thats explains why she’s a crazy b**ch. What’s his excuse?
Cashing in on dead ponies.
It runs in the family!
“Good God! John Edwards was having sex with the daughter of the guy who taught Tommy Burns how to kill horses by electrocuting them!”
That sentence should win some kind of reward.
More precisely, “a trial lawyer mates with the daughter of the guy who taught the horse killer how to kill horses.”
Edwards better sleep with one eye open.
Clinton was more flamboyant about his sleaziness, sure.
But Clinton didn't have the opportunity to cheat on a dying wife and try to further his career by telling lies about his dead child.
And Flowers and Lewinsky were bush-league whores compared to this Druck individual.
eeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
and what do you get......a horse's ass
He morphed from a lawyer to a liar.
Yea,about 20 years ago.
John Edwards isn’t a violent serial rapist. Bill Clinton is.
Kind of like how good money drives out bad, sleazyier Democrats drive out sleazy Democrats. For example, the Kennedys. Teddy was worse than Robert who was worse than Jack.
That we know of.
What we do know is that he is capable of literally any enormity.
LOL.
BTW, I meant “award” not “reward”
John Edward and Rielle Hunter - “The Misfits” with a role reversal.
Fine, but he’s got a ways to go before he eclipses Clinton in the sleaze department.
Good God! The guy’s daughter killed the silky pony’s career by shocking the newswires!
A Silky Pony should stay far away from any horse-killin’ .
