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.

Help me out here:

He vehemently denied the affair before.

He now says that he did have an affair but a) the kid is not his and b) when he had the affair, his wife was in remission.

Now, he is visiting his former mistress in a hotel at 2am with someone else’s kid?

Meanwhile, his wife’s cancer is incurable.

Friday Night dump.

And don't forget Nightline will be running during the Olympic opener...

[Proud_USA_Republican]

She’s been getting 15K a month from baby daddy. She’ll let him say whatever he wants about it as long as the checks come rolling in.

[PISANO]

At least he is not guilty of HYPOCRISY!!

He is pro-gay, pro-abortion, a feel good-do it leftist and after all his wife is terminal and lying about sex is commonplace, expected and understandable.

< /sarcasm >

Doesn’t the National Enquirer have recent photos of him visiting the woman “he doesn’t love” and the child that “isn’t his”?

[meandog]

Move on, nothing to see here, move on...

[nikos1121]

but said that he did not love her.

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

[Pinkbell]

I knew it. I didn’t think the Enquirer would make that up for fear of legal reprecussions, and I could tell Edwards was guilty by the way he acted when asked a question about it a couple weeks ago.

Memo:

To: John Edwards
Fr: Bill & Hillary
Re: Ahhh, you know...

John, sorry for the recent unpleasant developments in your personal life going public like that, the ‘National Enquirer’, who would have thought it?

Well, we just wanted to say that if there is anything we can do during this time of trial and tribulation for you, just let us know, ok?

Best Wishes,

Bill & Hillary

PS - (hey Johnny? it’s me, Bill, just a couple questions?) Do you prefer us addressing you in the media as ‘former Senator Edwards’ or do you prefer ‘former Attorney General hopeful Edwards’? Know what I mean dawg? Hyuk! hyuk! Say boy, if Obama starts refusing to return your calls, let me know and I’ll see if Hillary can text your number to his iPod, ok? And Johnny? DAYUM son! That Rielle is HOMELY, I mean I know Monica was a little on the chubby side, but she had a face that only a strip joint across from the local trailer park could appreciate, know what I mean fella? Get your vision tested dawg, Perle Optical has a special on this week! Hyuk! Later! ;)

Hmm, I was just thinking, this story broke just as Rush was going off the air.

This was timed.

[nfldgirl]

Does anyone know when the baby was born? Let’s back-track from there...it’s possible Edwards was involved with mama Reille even when he and Elizabeth announced in March of ‘07 that her cancer was back.

[HIDEK6]

Let's see, the child is not his, he doesn't love her, and Liz's cancer is in remission anyway.

No harm, no foul.

[Raebie]

Edwards lied, Reilly cried.

[PEACE ENFORCER]

So does this mean he will now get to speak at the Rat convention along with Bill Clinton?

I'm still on the floor laughing at this!..... :()

[theDentist]

Well, I tried to give him the benefit of doubt. No need anymore.

[Loyal Buckeye]

The National Enquirer, the gold standard of the news industry.

[Christian4Bush]

I’m sick of the MSM shilling the Democrat Party. I hope they are all embarrassed with themselves and how unprofessional they truly are.

Not even a landslide win by McCain, and a complete landslide down ticket giving both houses of Congress to the Republicans, will convince the DriveBy Media that they are wrong to so openly shill for the Democrats.

(of course, the Republicans would probably find a way to bugger it up again, but that's beside the point)

[SilvieWaldorfMD]

So he ordered Russia and Georgia to fight today, to keep this off the front page? :O)

Heh..... or he thought that the opening ceremonies tonight and this whole Olympics fever was going to diminish his own news story..... what a jerk!

[mass55th]

Now that I look back and remember the press conference he and Elizabeth held in March of 2007, about her cancer returning, I’m wondering if the coldness that was perceived between them (they never touched), was because perhaps Elizabeth knew about the affair.

Ma, Ma, Where’s my Pa?
Telling ABC I’m a slut
Ha, Ha, Ha.
