'There was zero sleep': Rielle Hunter on her first time with John Edwards

(London) Daily Mail ^ | June 19, 2012

Rielle Hunter says the first time she slept with John Edwards was the 'most extraordinary night of her life.'

Lurid details continue to emerge about the affair that annihilated the two-time presidential candidate's political career as Hunter's tell-all memoir slowly leaks to the public.

The couple met in February 2006 at the Regency Hotel in New York City. Hours after Hunter approached the former North Carolina Senator, he called her up to his hotel room for a night of 'surrender' and 'zero sleep.'

Hunter says she caught Edwards' eye at the hotel when she followed him out of a reception and said, 'You are so hot.'

Hours later, she got a call from him inviting her to his room.

She claims she went only because she thought she could give Edwards advice for his presidential campaign. But that all changed the moment she was alone behind closed doors with 'her Johnny.'

'The connection I felt when I walked in the door had only grown and the amount of energy between us was huge and unstoppable,' Hunter writes.

'And then a moment came while we were talking when something in my heart clicked and I surrendered. I took off my teacher hat, let go of all my resistance to him and let him lead. And lead he did. He led me toward the most extraordinary night of my life. There was a lot of talk, a lot of laughter and zero sleep.'

But Hunter says she didn't give in easily to sleeping with a married man -- it took Edwards telling her a story about having three other mistresses to get her into bed that first night they met.

Women today are such pigs. I never said that to a guy when I was single and I never would. What happened to the days when women would be chased by men and act like ladies?

You’ve got it. Thank you for recognizing my point.

It is women foregoing their traditional role as ladies that is at the root of our societal, moral downward spiral. Why would y’all want to lower yourselves to be as base as us men?

I’m a guy. With some exceptions, we ARE pigs. We have always been pigs. When single, we will take whatever we can get. I certainly did. Women keep us in our place....or used to.

I know! I burst out laughing when I read this. I think it’s even worse than what you wrote. I believe what convinced Hunter to sleep with John Edwards the night they met is that he told her he CURRENTLY was involved with three or four other women. The twisted logic of dopey sluts, I guess.

[headstamp 2]

The whoremaster and the whore.

[nascarnation]

There’s also a non-zero chance that she will be FLOTUS in Jan 2017.

You’ll see John-boy and Spitzer rehabbed by the media over the next two years. They’ll be in the mix for the nomination in 2016.

Who writes this stuff?!? Is one night now the standard for not giving in easily?

"Once a month, or about every 28 days, human females come into heat, just like every other mammal does, though sometimes after different periods of time. When they do they exhibit the fact with abnormal behavior such as provocative glances and suggestions. They may not realize just what they’re doing but they’re advertising for a mate. the fact they already have a legal mate doesn’t make a bit of difference - they advertise anyway."

I hate to disappoint you, but as a very happily married woman, I'm not out tossing around "provocative glances and suggestions" once a month, against my will. We humans have just a bit more control than that.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Oh Good Lord! Wouldn’t it be nice if, just once, one of these people had a sense of shame?

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Hunter attacks Edwards’ wife Elizabeth, who died in December 2010 of breast cancer, calling her ‘crazy,’ ‘venomous’ and a ‘witch on wheels.’

Oh, how convenient of Rielle to dish, now that Mrs. Edwards isn't around to stick up for herself.

"Women today are such pigs. I never said that to a guy when I was single and I never would. What happened to the days when women would be chased by men and act like ladies?"

Oh, come on! You mean today's woman, with her tattoos, piercings, exposed bra straps, flip-flops, and fat rolls hanging out, is less than attractive? /s

[Hoffer Rand]

So for Rielle, what made her decide to sleep with the married Edwards, was him telling her stories that he had three other mistresses he slept with prior to her.

The really pathetic thing is that, in a couple years, when she finds out he's cheating on her, she's going to be completely blindsided and shocked. Then she'll go on talk shows and tell everyone how she never saw it coming.

It was a quote from Animal House, addressed to the arrested development case Flounder who uttered another memorable line: "I hope I score! Oh boy! Oh boy!"

From now on I'll always think of you when that scene comes on.

How about you?

I'm smart enough not to cling to my youthful follies, much less double down in recommending them to others. If you want the respect that belongs to a 78 year old man, don't carry on like a hormonal kid.

[KosmicKitty]

But did he offer her any McDonalds cheeseburgers??

[Mountain Bike Vomit Carnage]

Who can blame him?

[Boogieman]

Yep, he, along with some mob-connected buddies, was electrocuting them to make it look like natural causes. He even electrocuted HER prize horse! What a guy, eh?

They also suspected these guys were involved in the Helen Brach murder.

[Ann Archy]

OMG!!

[angcat]

Exactly... LOL

[Salamander]

No can do.

[CatherineofAragon]

It’s slob season, LOL.
