The book proposal from a man who was one of former Sen. John Edwards' closest aides claims that Edwards promised him to "take care of you for life" in return for falsely claiming he was the father of the baby carried by Edwards' mistress, Rielle Hunter.
The aide, Andrew Young, sold his book proposal to St. Martin's Press for an undisclosed price late last week. In his proposal, Young quotes Edwards, a Democrat who was his party's vice-presidential nominee in 2004 and ran for president last year, as begging him to confess to fathering Hunter's baby.
"'You know how much I love you,' Edwards said. 'You know I'd walk off a cliff for you, and I know you'd walk off a cliff for me,'" Young wrote in the book proposal. "'I will never forget this. And I will always be there for you.'" The proposal was shared with The New York Times by a book publishing industry executive. Portions of it were reported over the weekend by The Daily News of New York.

Too bad, because he's actually quite innocent compared the commie-mobster who took the office.
Democrats don’t tell on democrats or at least live to tell on democrats, right Vince Foster? Surprised someone gave him a book deal since he is rating on one of his own.
Andrew, got to watch your back. Be careful and stay away from the Clintons.
Such nice people, such high standards. Sheesh.
Men of high moral character...
Not...
Edwards gave the election to obamma lamma. Had Edwards not divided the less crazy vote between himself and Mrs. Clinton she would have trashed the punk.
The Clintons probably pulled some strings to get Young the book deal to further embarrass Mr. Edwards and put him further in the lurch.
Obambi is next. I figure a visit by the magic negro to a Fort Marcey Park of the Clintons choosing and once again they’ll be who the dems turn to.
Beware ya punk ass, “magic negro”. And it ain’t just the Christian right ya should be worried about. I’d beware of those in your own party.
What’s even worse is that Obama promised to make Edwards Attorney General, if he did not pick him as a running mate.
Image this scum as the top cop...
I don’t really care .
After seeing Rielle Hunter I think that if this thread were about her as a sexy teacher, the “guity” verdict would already be in.
Personal affairs shouldn’t be as important as they’ve become, but for me it’s a matter of judgement. Someone who would squander his political capital in an affair with a huntress like this, doesn’t have the common sense to be any kind of elected official.
“I don’t really care .”
At least you have the temerity to admit that you are part of the problem...
Why?
We are losing our freedom every day and you are concerned about somebody screwing a whore?
Someone screwing whores will not threathen my freedom but fools voting for obama does. The cap and trade threathens my freedom but some whore gettig knocked up doesn’t.
Are you jealous because you could not watch Edwards screw her?
Who has sex with who does not bother me. I get all I can and that is all I worry about. I do not care about watching others. I do not care about hearing about others.
Losing my freedom does.
Let's all rejoice in seeing this fine liberal humiliated before the world.
“Former US Senator John Edwards (D-NC) appears to be the target of an ongoing grand jury criminal investigation in Raleigh .... Reporters saw Hunter and her baby quickly hustled into the federal courthouse on Thursday through a back entrance to avoid public contact.”
Edward ran into the men’s room to hide from reporters.
It’s so easy to believe this.
Edwards is your proto-typical Democrat scumbag.
What you said BUMP.
What’s the big deal, Edwards is just a typical Democrat.
His mistress with baby testified to a grand jury yesterday. Edwards may get indicted on fradulent use of campaign funds. It would do him good to spend some time in a Federal lockup.
