Brett Baier just reported on FOX news that John Edwards called the editor or the Charlotte Observer to ask he not print the story being put out that day by the National Enquirer because Elizabeth had cancer and this would be a bad thing for her cancer. He hastened to add that it was for Elizabeth that he made this request. Besides that, Edwards said the National Enquirer was tabloid trash. Edwards also pointed out that all of his friends in Norht Carolina read the Charlotte Observer.

.......John Edwards was having sex with the daughter of the guy who taught Tommy (the Sandman) Burns how to kill horses by electrocuting them! ......in 1982..James Druck, an Ocala, attorney who represented insurance companies, paid [Burns] to kill the brilliant show-jumper Henry the Hawk, on whose life Druck had taken out a $150,000 life insurance policy. The horse was owned and shown by Druck's daughter, Lisa who had competed on his back in shows all over Florida. Her father, a criminally minded lawyer and conniver started Tommy Burns on his grisly career as a horse killer. --snip-- Henry the Hawk...

snip-The revelations of ties among the lawyers emerged through public records and interviews with people close to Mr. Edwards and Ms. Hunter, which suggested that their affair went on longer than Mr. Edwards admitted and that the effort to conceal it by Mr. Edwards’s inner circle was much more extensive than has been reported. The review found that Mr. Edwards’s political action committee went to unusual lengths to make a final $14,000 payment to Ms. Hunter’s film company months after its contract with the committee had ended. The payment was issued while the committee was short on cash and could...

LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA!!! NOT GOING TO HEAR IT!!! HANDS OVER MY EARS! That is the attitude of the KOmmies to another KOmmie who had the Kewpie Doll moment of posting that the Edwards scandal disaster is NOT going away as you can see in this THREAD titled "The Edwards Disaster Is Not Going Away." In fact, with the way the National Enquirer is releasing the information on this scandal, it threatens to overshadow the Democrat convention. The big money man at the center of the John Edwards scandal, Fred Baron, is also a big fundraiser for Barack Obama. Also this scandal...

Edwards' Camp Funneled Money To Mistress' Firm Reporting Marcia Kramer NEW YORK (CBS) ― John Edwards and his associates went to great lengths to keep his affair a secret, even moving thousands of dollars in campaign funds around to keep things quiet. The latest questions surrounding the Edwards affair involve efforts to funnel money to his paramour, Rielle Hunter, months after she had stopped working for him. The Edwards campaign wanted the money to come from his political action committee, but the committee was out of cash, so the money had to be handled and manipulated carefully. In April of...

Now that it's broken out into the open, there's something about the Edwards-Hunter affair that makes it impossible to ignore. I know all the arguments about how the private lives of politicians should remain private, and that if it's OK with the spouse or spouses, why should we inquire. Truth is, it wasn't so long ago that I was making all those arguments myself. And I'm the first to acknowledge that as much as some of us in the media might like to claim that what's at issue here is not the sex but the lying about it (not to...

"I have this recollection of somebody asking me for lawyers in New York, and I remember naming three or four, and he must have been one of them," Mr. Baron said. Referring to Ms. Hunter, he added, "It was either her who called or somebody on her behalf." ...

On Sunday, as I was sitting in my summer cabin in Vermont, completely absorbed in a New York Times story about John Edwards' affair with Rielle Hunter, I began reading a paragraph whose message shot through me like a sudden bolt of electrical current. The story centered on Ms. Hunter's refusal to take a DNA test to determine the paternity of her 5-month-old daughter, but that was not what startled me. It was this: "Ms. Hunter was born in Fort Lauderdale. Fla., in 1964 as Lisa Druck and moved to New York City in her 20s, becoming part of a...

WASHINGTON - John Edwards' political action committee paid his mistress $14,000 after she stopped working for it to obtain 100 hours of unused videotape she had shot for his unsuccessful presidential campaign, an associate told The Associated Press on Thursday. The woman, Rielle Hunter, already had been paid $100,000 for the programs. The explanation — which Edwards' advisers declined to discuss on the record — is the first effort to justify the payment in April 2007 to Hunter. That payment came months before Edwards' chief fundraiser quietly began sending money himself to the pregnant woman. Edwards last week acknowledged he...

"They loved money! All of them watching out for themselves." That's the Florida family environment fallen presidential wannabe John Edwards' mistress grew up in. So says Jupiter commodities trader Steve Smith, a longtime live-in boyfriend of one of Rielle Hunter's three sisters. That environment, according to Smith and records, included Dad, Ocala attorney and horseman James Druck. "He had a plane and a Ferrari," said Smith, who dated designer Jennifer Druck. "They (the girls) lived with him after his divorce from Rielle's mom. "I know their father was giving some of them money for a long time." Born Lisa Druck...

You know there are some in the liberal media who have simply lost touch with reality when they ask with great detachment whether John Edwards will be able to run for office again soon. For months the Enquirer has been trickling out the goods they collected on Edwards having an affair and possibly a love child with campaign aide Rielle Hunter, staking out Edwards in a California hotel - and how he hid in the bathroom to avoid them. Throughout this time, the very same media spread unproven trash on John McCain's alleged relationship with a lobbyist because the source...

Disgraced Ex-Presidential Candidate: 'I'm Sure There's Lots Of Things That All Of America Doesn't Know About Me' MAMARONECK, N.Y. (CBS) ― In the spring of 2007, former presidential candidate John Edwards made a campaign visit to a Mamaroneck nursing home. It was months after he now says he told his wife about his affair with Rielle Hunter. But even then Edwards was cagey and coy, and not talking much about his private life. CBS 2 HD spoke exclusively with Edwards during that stop in Westchester County. At the Sarah Neuman Nursing Home in Mamaroneck Edwards told CBS 2 HD...

John Edwards Proves He’s Human, Heavy Panting at 11Steve Stajich, Mirror Contributing Writer I can’t tell you what feelings you should have about so-called “adultery.” There are a few points one can make, such as the fact that a fellow who is not married and breaks any rules of monogamy stated or implied is simply a disappointment to a limited few. However, once the state enters your life by conferring the status of “marriage,” it’s no longer just a gnarly Sunday morning argument. Now it’s lawyers and property division and custody issues and money and property and… did we cite...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: I want to spend a little time here, just a brief moment, on the Breck Girl. This is a story, ladies and gentlemen, not going away. People ask me, "Rush, it's over. What's the big deal? Why stick with Edwards?" This is a multilayered story, and to illustrate this, I am holding in my formerly nicotine-stained fingers (shuffling paper) a printed copy of an article by the illustrious Walter Shapiro writing at Salon.com. Walter Shapiro is a Drive-Byer, and he used to write for USA Today. "After covering John Edwards -- and liking him -- for years,...

Elizabeth Edwards reportedly decided to stay with former U.S. Sen. John Edwards because she has terminal cancer.

The good news: DNA testing has confirmed that John Edwards is not the father of Rielle Hunter's baby. The bad news: The father is Bill Clinton. Ha ha -- just kidding! It's almost impossible to get pregnant by having the type of sex Bill Clinton prefers. Also, by now, everyone has heard the news that Edwards' mistress, Rielle Hunter, has refused to grant a paternity test. I wonder if Edwards knew that when he was making his chesty offer to take a paternity test? Edwards gushed to ABC's Bob Woodruff: "I would welcome participating in a paternity test, be happy...

Another issue of the National Enquirer, another round of sordid allegations about the extent to which John Edwards is lying about his affair with Rielle Hunter. The four new pieces: • Edwards didn't confess until after a campaign staffer walked in on him and Hunter having an "intimate moment" in hotel room. Word eventually got to Elizabeth Edwards, who then confronted John, who then admitted the whole thing. But this all happened after he'd already declared his candidacy for the presidency. • The whole public tango over the DNA test, with Edwards saying he wants one and Hunter saying she...

There is obviously no way to quantify this, but I regard Bill Clinton as the most thoroughly humiliated person in all of human history. Who else even comes close? On Sunday, it will be 10 years since that astonishing day a sitting president gave a nationally televised address in which he admitted that, yes, he'd had a sexual relationship with a young intern, and that all his previous statements to the contrary — to his family, to the media, to the nation — were baldfaced lies. You gazed upon that astonishing spectacle, gazed upon the utter debasement of the highest...
