Former senator John Edwards goes underground after affair scandal
NY Daily News ^ | June 18, 2010 | BY Aliyah Shahid

Poof! And then he was gone.

John Edwards, the former presidential contender and Democratic poster child, has vanished from the national scene in a self-imposed exile after embarrassing revelations about his affair with Rielle Hunter.

The former senator rarely strays far from his North Carolina home, spending his time visiting his kids and meeting with legal advisers. Very few who previously worked with Edwards have spoken to him.

According to local law enforcement officials, Edwards used to stop by local bars, sip on white wine and flirt with single women. Those visits have stopped over the past six weeks.

According to one of Edward’s former advisers, the lone ranger spends most of his time trying to avoid a possible federal grand jury indictment concerning $1 million in presidential campaign funds that he allegedly funneled to Hunter while she was pregnant with their child.

Even Edwards’ legal courier can’t get in touch with him. Robert “Hoppy” Elliot has been trying to serve Roberts court papers to coerce him to giving a sworn statement after Hunter sued Roberts’ aide Andrew Young, who claims he has a tawdry sex tape of the duo.

“Let us know if you find him,” said Robert “Hoppy” Elliot to a Daily Beast reporter. “Because we’ve been looking for him all over the place”

Obviously the Democrats have a “great” vetting system for their candidates when you consider John Edwards was almost VP if not to he president and now Alvin Greene in SC.

The there is Blago and the Chicago Way people.

John Edwards awarded 'Father of the Year'
Democrat received honor about 8 months before alleged love child born

Where was John Edwards around the time his alleged "love child" Frances Quinn Hunter was conceived?

The senator was in New York – receiving his Father of the Year Award.

Edwards accepted his June 27, 2007, honor from the Father's Day/Mother's Day Council exactly eight months before the child was born Feb. 27, 2008, according to a birth certificate obtained by the Charlotte Observer.

Before beginning his Father of the Year acceptance speech, Edwards told an adoring crowd, "I hate to admit it, but I am not the best parent in my family. ..."

Film star [Danny Glover] calls for release of Cuban Five

Published Sep 25, 2008

Actor Danny Glover sent the following message of solidarity on Sept. 13 to the concert “Five Stars and One Song” held in New York in support of the Cuban 5:

"Weeks ago, I arranged my schedule to be with you tonight to support growing national and global efforts to free the Cuban five patriots who have been unjustly incarcerated by the U.S. government for defending their beloved fellow Cuban citizens and their government from the heinous, murderous terrorist attacks launched with impunity from the United States."

Lol! Thanks for the update.

BTW: it looks like he’s finally taken down his website. So that Danny Glover link I posted no longer works.

Another example of the failure of NC voters. They haven’t done anything much right except for Helms.

This just might end up in a sudden suicide. His ego couldn’t handle a guilty verdict and winding up in prison.

I think he's a psychopath, and recently, in reading discussions about Joran van der Sloot, someone pointed out that psychopaths rarely commit suicide; also, Edwards obvious narcissism is so extreme that he'd never be able to hurt a single hair on the top of his head, much less destroy his own body.

I imagine once he fully realized that Elizabeth is serious about giving their two youngest children into the custody of their elder child, their 20-something sister, in the event of Elizabeth's death --- that MAYBE he finally got off his highhorse.
