Former presidential candidate John Edwards is said to be ready to admit that he fathered a love child. But Hades may have a skating rink before his wife, Elizabeth, signs off on such a confession.
As a grand jury in North Carolina considers whether Edwards misused campaign funds to cover up the scandal, Elizabeth still can't abide his former mistress, Rielle Hunter.
Word is Elizabeth vehemently opposed the plan, now in place, for Hunter and daughter Quinn to move from New Jersey to Wilmington, N.C., where the Edwardses have a beach house.
For months now, Elizabeth, who is said to be talking to a divorce lawyer, also has been sniping at Hunter - painting her as a blackmailing gold digger - in blog comments where she uses the pseudonym "Cherubim," according to a source who knows Elizabeth.
Though "Cherubim" has recently described herself as an African-American woman, the source insists, "It's Elizabeth. She's used 'cherubim' as a password. Look at the gravestone of their son Wade: It's an angel holding a boy."

A source close to Elizabeth Edwards says the former Senator's wife is sniping at former Edwards mistress Rielle Hunter via an online pseudonym.
I am so bored with these people...yes I did not have to come to post this, but that is true. I wish all of them would go away. I mean he isn’t even a politician anymore. He is a private citizen who can and should do what he wants without us having to know about it.
“John Edwards’ ex-mistress, Rielle Hunter, targeted by Elizabeth Edwards in blog comments”
Awww...who cares! They all deserve each other.
Ditto!
He was “possibly” syphoning off campaign money to his mistress while running for President.That’s what this is about.
At some point, Cherubim would be better off putting the “Breck-girl” husband in her crosshairs than blaming the mistress.
Edwards was a hose bag who tried to pull the wool over the publics eyes.
It is wonderful sport to watch his train wreck.
As for Mrs. Edwards? She is a pos who used her cancer a campaign prop.
Oh then just put him in jail than and throw away the key. I guess it is just that I absolutely hate the Edwards’ more than the Obama’s.....yes that much.
You have the wrong attitude. We all have been saying for years how vain and hypocritical Edwards, the dandy trial lawyers was, and now we can extednd that to his craven, vain wife. And look how far they’ve fallen! Its exactly like a Greek Tragedy. Simply precious.
And John is thinking, “Hurry up and die of cancer so I can get with Rielle again....”
Reality’s a byotch.
God you are so right.....I find them so disgusting....Edwards used to cry about the poor while living in a 35,000 acre house....I could just scream about the hypocracy the Edwards show.
lol. True. It seems like they are loving this though. Seriously if they were ashamed they would be living out their lives quietly.
I’m sure he’s “moved on” to another piece of crumpet by now.
Agree completely. I would change only one word, from precious to delicious.
I have sympathy, on a human level, for anyone suffering from cancer; you would have to be the worst of the worst for me not to care.
That being said, politically, personally and ethically I have no sympathy for this woman. She was well aware of the lie she and Edwards were perpetrating when they claimed during the campaign that their marriage was solid, uplifting and morally straight. This BS morality play within the press is nothing different from the vapid, conceited elements of that Kardashian family/show.
Mrs. Edwards - we-don’t-care! Go away! After having the audacity to use your cancer to deify both you and your husband as an ideal couple while at the same time knowing the truth of John’s “improvisation” has left you in the exact spot you deserve - fading obscurity. And if you have some delusions about resurrecting your political fortunes even your fellow Dems aren’t that stupid.
Being from NC, I know many liberals who supported Edwards who were so disheartened and disallusioned after it turned out that what had been reported months earlier and denied by Edwards - was in fact true.
And now, as it has become clear that Edwards did in fact father the child of his mistress, while campaigning for President, while is wife had terminal cancer - this has made these liberals VERY angry at him. Disgusted.
It’s a wonderful thing to see since I have been disgusted by Edwards ever since his smooth talking ambulance chasing self entered poliics and had been trying to debunk all the Edwards shysterism to these liberal friends.
NOW I am telling the same people that Obama “is not who you think he is either”. That he is a corrupt communist thug who is aligned with the unapologetic domestic terrorist Ayers, the communists from his past and present (Valerie Jarrett, Van Jones), that he doesn’t want healthcare for all but he wants CONTROL over all, and that he has no intention of doing what is necessary - he nor the Congress - to right this economy and defend this nation!
So far, unfortunately, these same folks don’t see the Obama deception clearly....as they now see the Edwards deception.
When it finally dawns on them that Obama is another great deceiver and one who is a million times more dangerous than Edwards to this country and to their well being - well - I pray it will not already be too late.
You’d think with all his money he could attract a better looking whore.
The mistress nor the husband have no decency and the wife should have left him a long time ago.
Why do you assume those liberals don’t want Communism ? That’s the end result of leftism... a totalitarian state.
