Rielle Hunter: I was helping John Edwards find his 'authentic self' (BARF)
CNN ^ | April 29, 2010

Posted on 04/29/2010 12:34:40 PM PDT by BradtotheBone

Despite many people telling her it wasn’t the best idea to sit down with Oprah Winfrey for an interview, Rielle Hunter - politician John Edwards' mistress - decided to do it anyway.

"I feel in my heart it’s the right thing to do," Hunter said Thursday, especially now that "Johnny," as she calls him, has admitted paternity of their daughter, Frances Quinn.

Hunter said she wanted to set the facts straight about who she is, and that while she understands the judgment that has been heaped upon her, she doesn’t see herself as a home wrecker or gold digger, she told Winfrey.

“I have been unfairly judged,” Hunter said, adding that she believes people reacted so negatively to her relationship with Edwards because “a lot of people bought into the myth of the marriage as being a storybook story, being so perfect and wonderful, and I destroyed it,” she said.

While some have called her a gold digger, she “wasn’t after him for money, fame, attention. I was never after him. I met him and there was a very strong connection and attraction,” Hunter said. And as for the home-wrecking accusations, Hunter observed, "It’s not my experience that a third party can wreck a home. A home is wrecked before a third party comes into the picture."

A “heart to heart” between a dyke and a high priced whore. And that’s the news of the day. Unbelievable.

John Edwards’ authentic self? Well, let’s just say that if you rub him long enough, he turns into an NBA player.

It's unfair to make fun of the insane, and this woman is insane. She doesn't live on our planet.

“When did he have it last?” is always a good start.

Apparently the authentic John Edwards (D) chases more than just ambulances.

True. Edwards always had an empty feeling after sex. Thanks to Rielle, he now knows it was just the loss of body fluids.

Not really — that slime-bal ambulance chaser was never going to get close to winning the nomination much less the election!

Really?

And where was BO less than a year before the election?

Edwards had the ability to stay in national office, if he so chose, with the potential to become another Al Gore.

Nope.
She did us all a huge favor with her skankiness, and we should thank her.

I don’t avoid women, Mandrake. But I do deny them my bodily fluids.

I feel sorry for the child here. What a mess these asshats have caused by their promiscuity.

But that’s just me.

But then you're not John Edwards.

That may have been the first place John Edwards would look.
