John Edwards - the tricks he used to hide the affair and the love child
2010-02-02
Among the revelations in Andrew Young's new book about John Edwards is that once the whole sordid truth about Edwards and Rielle Hunter emerged, Bill Clinton "called the senator and said, in effect, 'How'd you get caught?' "
personally I would have asked why he was having an affair with such a space cadet and not even a good looking one but that's just me
It's not a surprising question, given the source. But the better question may be how Edwards got away with it for so long...

Get a cell phone and use it exclusively for your affair...
Use your calling plan's enhanced features...
Make fake hotel reservations...
Use separate doors...
Use cash...
Funnel money...
Destroy all evidence...
== it goes on and on ===

#11  Don't forget that it took the National Inquirer to ferret out the information that many Demo insiders know about. So, another bullet point, if you have such proclivities, be a Democrat since standards there are only based upon your anger with your country.

#10  Personally, I'm not offended Annon - I don't care what two consenting adults do in private. The fact that it was Breck Boy schtooping behind his cancer-ridden spouse's back is the dark comedic gem that most of us here are amused by. Kind of like seeing the biggest douchebag in your neighborhood get his mailbox knocked over by some high school kids, only ten times better.

#9  Annon has just exposed his own personal ethics to the world.

#8  Well, Annon, I thought he was the biggest fraud asshole I'd ever seen long before everybody found out he was screwing around on his cancer stricken wife.
So I guess that get's me off the hook...douchebag.

#7  Hey Annon. A convenient truth. Not everyone does it. Edwards is a moron. What are you so guilty about?

A curious misuse of English, embedded in a comment from an anonymous server.

#5  Just curious Anon - what good has John Edwards ever done for our country? You do know how he made his millions right?

He is what gives lawyers a bad name.

#4  Annon = Elizabeth Edwards

#3  Right, Annon, and if he lies about it, well, that's just convenient - everyone lies, too.

I remember how scandalized everyone was when the Nixon tapes were released. Why, the President used bad words!

We expected more from our leaders, we were told at the time. Lots of other pols have gotten caught, came clean, resigned, and disappeared. Why not Johnny?

#2  Hey folks, get off Edward's back. What is the great thing? every one F**ks around in this country. If you feel offended, ask Pope to become president of America. If you cant then shut up, you folks are making us a laughing stock in the world. Let the man do whatever good he can do for we and the nation

#1  From the article: When Hunter said she loved him, Edwards "would say only, 'Me too.'

As do most narcissists.
