Edwards Love-Child Story

Is this the work of Hillary Clinton with Edwards surging? What should Edwards do?

HP-The National Enquirer has gone political in their most recent issue, alleging that John Edwards has fathered a love-child with a filmmaker who once worked on a series of webisodes for his One America Committee. Rumors of the affair between Edwards and the filmmaker, a 43-year-old divorcee named Rielle Hunter, have been denied by both parties.

Now, as the Enquirer has published photos of a clearly pregnant Hunter, she has gone on the record confirming that she is pregnant but denying that Edwards is the father. She claims that the biological father is Edwards operative Andrew Young, a married man who confirms both his extramarital affair with Hunter and that the baby is his. Hunter, who lived in New York, has recently relocated to a gated community in North Carolina near Young and his family. But, the Enquirer claims that Hunter is privately telling friends that Edwards fathered the baby.

    Well here in the 21st Century, we’ve got this thing called DNA testing that eliminates the need for useless speculations.

  2. A.D. Berry says:

    Awwwwwwwwwww, Poor John Edwards. Everyone’s favorite socialist pig. Too bad he’s a hypocrite and a cheater. Must run in the Democratic family.

  3. A.D. Berry says:

    It’s pretty pathetic that a guy who wants to be President can’t even be trusted to stay faithful to his cancer-stricken wife.

  4. caroline says:

    This story has been debunked. Two Edwards staffers had an affair, the man in question is married with young children. He took responsiblity. Hillary nor anyone else had anything to do with this story. It’s your typical tabloid trash and why you’d believe this stuff is beyond me.

  5. LeftHook says:

    Brittany Spears’ little sister is pregnant too. Coincidence? Maybe, maybe not.

    I’m not saying it’s Edwards’ child for sure, but I do see a possible pattern here.

  6. caroline says:

    Lefthook,
    Do you really think that Edwards had an affair? That’s pretty much what you are saying?

  7. LeftHook says:

    Actually, I was just going for a laugh. I have no idea whether he did or didn’t.

    He really doesn’t seem the type. (I mean, he’s propped his cancer-stricken wife up front-center in his campaign, for crying out loud—it would just be beyond stupid.)

  8. bb says:

    Lefty,

    “it would just be beyond stupid” — you mean like having an intern perform non-sexual sodomy on a president in the oval office?

  9. LeftHook says:

    bb: Yes, that level of stupid (though I’m proud to say I don’t understand what you mean by “non-sexual sodomy”).

  10. caroline says:

    bb,
    Ooh, I see that the Grand Old Perverts are at it again!! Woo hoo! Thanks for reminding everyone how obsessed you guys are with what goes on in other people’s sex lives. And you think you guys can win an election playing “national peeping toms”! Go for it! It’ll remind everyone how much you have in common with those your fellow fundamentalists in the middle east.

    Thanks so much for your help!

    Are we now getting political news from the National Enquirer? Maybe the aliens impregnated this woman. Let’s ask Dennis Kuchinich.

    Lefty,

    “non-sexual sodomy” — http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nP5FunbZvJ8

  13. bb says:

    what’s wrong caroline, jealous you weren’t the ‘woman’ referred to in the infamous “I did not have sexual relations with that woman…”

  14. JohnKonop says:

    Bart

    Caroline hit you hard!

  15. SgtMac says:

    Lefty – re post #5

    Im still LMAO! That was brilliant! Well done!

  16. JohnKonop says:

    Lefty

    Do you work for the National Enquirer, because we are all enquiring minds!

  17. JohnKonop says:

    caroline

    Do you know anything about this Brittany Spears’ little sister rumor?

  18. caroline says:

    bb,
    Is that the best you can do? Bleh.

    John,
    It was reported on the news that she was pregnant. My husband blew a gasket because he thought it was something for E! not the local news.

  19. Bill says:

    I’m willing to give some leeway for candidates who may “compartmentalize” with their sex lives (in exchange for a fiscal conservative). But let’s face it, with Bill Clinton the Democrats were rarin’ for a fight with his sex life. They just denied the whole thing no matter what. They were practically begging conservatives into the ring on that one.

  20. LeftHook says:

    “They were practically begging conservatives into the ring on that one.”

    Puh-leez.

    Republicans were trying to ruin Clinton’s presidency since before the inauguration. Democrats did not raise the issue.

  21. JohnKonop says:

    Lefty

    Are you saying the Republicans forced Bill to cheat on Hillary?

  22. JohnKonop says:

    caroline

    So John Edwrads has nothing to do with that rumor?

  23. Bill says:

    Lefthook
    All the talking heads denied the whole thing. This thing would have busted loose long ago if it weren’t for the controlled media. A funny thing happens when people array themselves behind a bunch of lies. They get their asses kicked. Any questions?

  24. Bill says:

    Are you begging me into the ring with the Clintons??????????

  25. Bill says:

    Keep in mind I’m a truthseeker.

  26. LeftHook says:

    JohnKonop: No, that’s not what I’m saying. But I am saying that Republicans forced Clinton’s infidelity—in EXTREMELY graphic detail—into every living room in America. It caused parents to have very uncomfortable conversations with their children.

    The Starr Report made the Republican Party the most successful pornographers in history.

  27. LeftHook says:

    Bill: There’s no story for the media to report. Facts. Facts are what’s missing from this story. (Don’t let Fox News confuse you. Responsible reporting still requires facts.)

    She says it’s not him. He says it’s not him. Nobody saw them have sex.

    There’s nothing to report.

  28. Chris says:

    Well maybe that’s why Edwards pays so much for his haircuts – to prevent any loose hairs from falling into journalist’s hands in order to get a DNA profile ready for when that baby’s discarded diapers turn up in a future dumpster dive.

  29. caroline says:

    John,
    You think that John Edwards had something to do with Jamie Spears announcing her pregnancy?

  30. JohnKonop says:

    caroline

    Lefty said that not me!

  31. Bill says:

    Lefthook
    I think Edwards is probably a “cut above” the Clintons. And he may “trim” Hillary’s lead or may even win “by a hair”.
