The Edwards Love-Child Old Media Doesn't Want You to See (with pics)
The gawker ^ | 8/7/08 | Gawker

Hooray! The National Enquirer has published photos of former political person John Edwards with a baby. The baby is almost certainly made up in part of DNA he left in a woman named Rielle Hunter, a former Edwards staffer who now spends her time cashing checks and hiding in hotels and denying everything to the media (until Good Morning America finally books her!). So now would be a perfect time for, like, established print media to cover this story, right? Anyone? Ha, no, they are all too embarrassed. Once again, it's up to the internet!

The story is still sneaking in through the cracks. McClatchy ran a "why isn't Edwards answering our questions" piece that will set the tone for future MSM stories on this terrible subject. Leno and Conan have mentioned the story too, which definitely suggests that the era when no one would've known about this unless the Times picked it up is finally over.

Maybe he’s still learning how to drink from a cup.

I downloaded the pic to my computer to enlarge the print. It says he wore a similar shirt with a similar sweat stain ina workout in NY. The article also says that Andrew Young just moved into a $5.6 million dollar home in Santa Barbara, same community where Reille is now residing. Hard to tell from such a blurry photo, but I don't see a lot of Andrew Young in her...

Wrong Andrew Young - this is a married w/ kids, 40-something guy. His wife n’ kids reportedly didn’t mind having his “pregnant mistress” Rielle over for din-din. But Young is undoubtedly the father - because he said he was - just ask any DimoCrap true believer.

This “spy photo” looks somehow computer generated or enhanced. Does Edwards have a video-game out already?
