Sen. John Edwards Caught With Mistress And Love Child!
2008-07-23
We're running this a second day.
Vice Presidential candidate Sen. John Edwards was caught visiting his mistress and secret love child at 2:40 this morning in a Los Angeles hotel by the NATIONAL ENQUIRER.

The married ex-senator from North Carolina - whose wife Elizabeth continues to battle cancer -- met with his mistress, blonde divorcée Rielle Hunter, at the Beverly Hilton on Monday night, July 21 - and the NATIONAL ENQUIRER was there! He didn't leave until early the next morning.
So they say, anyway.

#19  And yeah, I got confused about the Andrew Young thing until I saw his age.... and hell North Carolina? Not the Mayor, never.

#18  It wasn't really him. He was just channeling the guy that knocked her up. Also that guy lives in the Other America, the one he doesn't live in, whichever one that is.

#17  JEdwards pondering:

- who can I sue


- if not, what is the best way to blame this on Bush or Global Warming (insert joke here)

#16  It gets even more fun! Y'all may want to check out:
http://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/categories/rielle-hunter/ :
"The visibly pregnant blonde relocated from New York to Chapel Hill, N.C., where she's living in an upscale gated community near political operative Andrew Young, who's been extremely close to John Edwards for years.

And, in a bizarre twist, Andrew Young " a 41-year-old married man with young children himself" now claims HE is the father of Rielle's baby!

Others are skeptical, wondering if Young's paternity claim over Rielle Hunter's alleged offspring is a cover-up to protect John Edwards."

#14  It must be a slow day for the tabloids...John Edwards is about as newsworthy as a pimple on the butt of my Walker Coon Hound.

#13  A neighbor kid once asked me why my Pit Bull dog was licking his butt. I said, "He just ate a Lawyer and is trying to get the taste out of his mouth". My apologies to all of the fine people here at Rantburg who are Lawyers.

#12  I didn't know he had it in him.

#11  Normally I'd say he's toast. But he's a big-time lib and a lawyer to boot. They're a slippery bunch.

#10  Do I believe it? Let's just say I don't not believe it.

#9  Don't slam The National Enquirer over accuracy. They are extremely lawsuit conscious, and carefully document everything they publish far more than all but academic journals. They are almost unique in that their legal department reviews the paper, and the sources, prior to publication.

#8  Very troubling. I am concerned about the possible propagation of this species.

#5  I loved how the National Enquirer guys managed to tree Edwards like a raccoon in a public toilet, until hotel security arrived to hustle him to safety.

#4  here is something from Roger Simon's blog

"I want to start by bragging to you about how discreet Pajamas Media is. Over six months ago, we had wind of the John Edwards/Rielle Hunter love affair and love child and did not run with it. Most of this information was hearsay from people here in Hollywood, people who know Rielle. She was a long time hanger on in Hollywood circles before heading East to do political promo videosÂ… and, yes, I had met her myself on a couple of occasions at parties. She was not particularly notable, of the tedious sort that bore you to death about their yoga instructor."
