The MSM are still getting killed on the story of John Edwards and his relationship to racy blonde Rielle Hunter - or should I say his relationship to Hunter's love child?
Check out this comprehensive piece by mondoreb from the Blogger News Network.
There are a few interesting wrinkles. The first concerns pack journalism. Mondoreb reports:
"Because of those 'vigorous denials from campaign staffers,' not one reporter posed the question to Edwards that DBKP kept repeating, 'Do you deny that you've been in telephone contact with Rielle Hunter since she found out she was pregnant?' Did the reporters on the Edwards' campaign bus perhaps assign a larger weight to the campaign staff's denials than their readers would have?"
It's tough to be the only journalist in the crowd who will ask a really sensitive question. Believe me, I've been in that spot dozens of times. Imagine being the guy at a press conference by Mumia Abu-Jamal's lawyers asking why that convicted cop-killer has never denied killing the cop. Or imagine asking Bob Torricelli why he lied about the facts in that CIA leak case.
I did both of the above, and believe me I got some nasty looks. Sometimes I've even had to tell my fellow journalists to shut up and let me ask my question. If the pack's heading east, they snarl at the dog who heads west.

When are readers going to ask editors of Washington Post, NYT, LA Times when are they going to assign reporters to cover the Edwards story, since he is presumably a potential speaker at the DNC, if not still on the VP list for Obama.
A decent looking whore wouldn't give this sissy fide, girlie boy, the time of day.
Can you give us a workable link to the information so I can print it off?
I think Debbie Schluessing (sp?) was covering this on her blog a few days ago. I guess it doesn’t have any legs yet. It might deserve it’s own thread.
Several of the donors on that list are named “Good Will” - so, what gives with that? I downloaded the zip from the FEC but my machine had problems opening it.
I hope others have better luck than I did.
“racy blonde” ???
She looks like Prince Charles’ wife in that picture.
Racy blonde? As in ridden hard and put away wet?
This looks like one of Bill clintons bimbos. Could picture Edwards skipping through a trailor park dragging a twenty dollar bill and attracting this beaut.
What’s with these jerks? Can’t one of them attract a decent looking whore?

I would say that Edwards is the (alleged) whore. Wasn’t Edwards, if not VP nominee, to be AG or some cabinet post? Guess not, now. Or maybe not - Dems have no shame.
There ya go, the last sentence is most accurate.
Exactly.
“Racy blonde”? Looks more like a run over bleached beaver.
What are you posting about? What is the significance of this “Gaza” person?
Read elsewhere that the J. Edwards affair was to be a topic on Bill O’Reilly tonight. Missed that program (do not normally watch BOR) -but will watch the rerun....I guess. If they give the story “major” TV time, even if it’s BOR, I can’t object.
