ABC Radio news just announced Sen. John Edwards will admit to the affair with Rielle Hunter in an interview with the network, but insists the child is not his.

We return you to your regularly-scheduled FReeping.

I have a friend who was a trainer for an oil company. She spent 6 months in India back in the early ‘00s.

FReepers are all over the place. Conversations with folks in China or New Zealand can be episodic!

You're probably right! The Olympics will bury this story unfortunately.

>>Taliking heads are already saying this will ruin any chance that Edwards might speak at the convention. Kinda funny when you consider that Slick Willie will be a speaker there.<<

Actually, it’s quite the opposite. Edwards earned his speaking spot in the RAT convention. He has the badge of honor of cheating on his wife.

He’s more qualified than ever to carry the liberal flag and he may win the RAT candidacy in the first ballot in their Odrama convention.

I wouldn’t bat an eye if it happened.

His daughter, IIRC is in college, maybe early 20’s.

Thanks - that’s just her FReeper name, though. She picked it because she needed a “handle” when she went to CPAC when she was 12. Her real name is Josephine.

National Enquirer having a delish serving of schadenfreude:

*snip*”As far as being the father of Hunter’s love child, you might as well go all the way now, Johnny Boy. Submit to a DNA test.

“By the way what was it you said about The ENQUIRER’s journalistic chops when the main stream media was silent until we gave them more than a smoking gun by dropping a bomb on August 6? Oh yeah - ‘Tabloid Trash.’ “

MSM circling the wagons and defending the reason National Inquirer can report the truth but they can't.

[parisa]

All done in coordination with Obama’s skipping town so the scum doesn’t spatter on his pristine trousers!

I thought you might be a little old lady like me, needing an afternoon nap, LOL.

Hey, no matter what the age, an afternoon nap can always be nice. :-)

That would make the baby 18 months old, and that picture of Edwards holding the baby in the Enquirer shows a baby not nearly that old. What am I missing?

Indeed it is!

You need to quit rolling your eyes you skeptic.

Cause listen up....as can be expected from so many of the lawyer types, Edwards has some very legitimate reasons why this little flap is a big nothing.....

....First, HE DID NOT LOVE THE WOMAN!

This, ladies and gems, makes it A-ok. So he bedded her...don’t you people get it, it does NOT count if he does NOT love her.

Gotta admire that example of fine manhood who would be our president.

....Second, for God’s sakes people, get a grip! His wife was in REMISSION when he bedded this woman he did not love. So it’s not, technically, like he cheated on his cancer-stricken wife. And don’t forget he didn’t love that bed mate so all of your sanctimony is so much foul air.

....Third....again, get a clue, folks! THE BABY IS NOT HIS!
It was only his political instinct that had him visiting, holding and cooing a baby who was not his, this in the middle of the night when he was allegedly there to just pay a visit to woman he did not love. Think of the nobility here....this fine presidential candidate actually played and cooed to a baby that’s not his.

Don’t forget that Edwards had a staff member claim the child to be his thus we must all stand back and admire the mighty John Edwards who kisses babies that are not his in mid of night while visiting this woman he did not love.

Y’all are too mean on this guy. Give it some more thought.

For nobility....John Edwards is thy name.

Sleep well and take care

Thanks. Have a great weekend.

What does that have to do with the price of eggs?

And I’m doing fine by the way, thanks for asking, and hope you are the same. Anoreth starts college and Bill starts high school on the 18th. It makes me feel OLD.

[Jaded]

That was the first I’d heard of it and here to boot a couple of weeks ago.

He’s not the first man or woman to go slumming and lie about it. I hope Liz kicks his butt.
