If I was Liz Edwards I'd file suit for an expedited divorce and take the scumbag for every penny he has, including his 'little cabin in the woods' (/s). And given her medical condition there ain't a judge that would deny it.

At least that way her kids will be set for life and mr. sh*tforbrains would have to go back to work chasing ambulances and filing slip-and-fall lawsuits against Wal*Mart to make ends meet.

Looks like Johnny’s got some series bedhead going on. I’m surprised he even let that picture be taken!

Yes, technically the child is a bastard, even though that sounds distasteful. The poor kid had nothing to do with her birth circumstances, and is headed for quite a life of turmoil. I feel very badly for her.

If you read the caption, it says the other photo was taken at a gym in New York, so it’s totally unrelated to the baby photos.

The photo in the hotel does not show any sweating, just a shadow of Edward’s big noggin, imo.

Be careful here...

That would require having principles. Are you sure Liz Edwards has them? I know some women who gave up their principles to be ‘secure’ and comfortable.

Used to be stamped on birth certificates too, in some places. We should eradicate the word from our vocabularies.

Hey, he won father of the yr back in 07!

[RexFamilia]

If the baby was born in Italy his last name would have been Esposito, unless recognized by the father.

From the latin ex spositus or out of wedlock

aInteresting that you’re the one who uses “bastard” as a derogatory word - what does it mean to “act as bastards?” The rest of us are pointing out that it is an accurate DESCRIPTION. That doesn’t mean we plan to hunt the poor child down and throw it in her face.

so you don't think that calling this little innocent a bastard on the world wide web for millions of people to see and read for decades to come - including her in a few years as she researches information on herself - is throwing 'it in her face?"

That's "interesting"

Also interesting on how adamantly you posters insist on being 'correct' to back up your 'right' to use this - but not to fear. Passive aggression, although a character trait, is not considered a mental illness.

frilly filly ‘;o)

[A bastard is an illegitimate child, and the word is also used as a derogatory term for an unpleasant person.]

Bastard is a perfectly descriptive word as used here. And from A Lee Marvin movie when called a bastard, he responded, “in my case and accident of birth, but YOU, sir, are a salf made man!”

So the use fits Edwards as well.

[UCFRoadWarrior]

The real travesty (after Edwards cheating on his wife) is that the MSM refuses to touch this story.

If it were patently false Edwards would have sued by now. He hasnt.

Could be the first ambulance he refused to chase

[dbacks]

Gotta learn to proof read. Should read “...an accident...”...are a self made...”

[ltc8k6]

Does the fact that the sweating, messed up hair photo is unrelated to the baby photo make you wonder about the story?

[nina0113]

Interesting how we adamantly keep insisting that the truth needs no defense. Astounding that you insist it does, and your irrationality is noted.

I didn’t know this but I sent the link to a couple of NC friends who are non-freepers. Thanks for the post.

Call the Baby a Bastard vs. Call the Baby a Baby

... who will win???

[new cruelty]

baby label maker...

[teddyballgame]

Is it true the kid was overheard saying, “my grandaddy use to work in a meel”?

[teddyballgame]

I’m not sure if “love” child is a better description. Having said that, she’s a cute little bastard.
