If you're familiar with Maury Povich's talk show, you've no doubt been exposed to his infamous "Who's Your Daddy?" segment, in which multiple men are given DNA tests — and told the results — in order to determine the identity of a single mother's child.
Here in Washington, there's plenty of buzz about whether former presidential candidate John Edwards is the father of onetime mistress Rielle Hunter's year-old baby. Edwards' wife, Elizabeth, appeared on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" for an interview slated to run Thursday and said that she had "no idea" whether her husband is the father of Hunter's daughter.
"I've seen a picture of the baby," Edwards told Winfrey. "It doesn't look like my children, but I don't have any idea."
The identity of the child's father may forever remain a mystery, but not if Povich has his way and applies a bit of his "Who's Your Daddy?" magic: He told the POLITICO podcast that he's inviting Edwards and Hunter to come on in order to determine the baby's father. "We'd even do the testing for free," said Povich.
The poor child. What a ridiculous and ugly way to enter the world.
He might as well. It all fits into the sleazy tabloid theme that Silky Pony has made of his existence.
What a d*ck.....Povich is a useless piece of trash....
Never going to happen!
Yep, so long as Silky Pony keeps the hush money flowing to his baby’s mama she’ll stay hidden away.
The “Not the Daddy” dance is the FUnniest dance ever!!!
Talk about cheap marketing stunts. What’s the point? Everybody has seen that kid. It’s the spittin’ image of the Breck Girl.
It’s almost comical how much that child looks like Edwards.
They should have a split-screen with John Edwards. If he’s not the father, maybe he’ll do the seemingly traditional 15-second “dat’s what I’m SAYIN’!” dance.
doh #7 beat me fair and square
Sorry but in this case I don’t think I’d trust Maury’s testing faculities.
