John Edwards Scandal: Whatever Happened to Andrew Young?
DBKP ^ | August 5, 2008 | Mondoreb

Posted on 08/05/2008 9:28:42 AM PDT by mondoreb

"[Andrew Young] is living large, [in California] with no visible means of support."
--DBKP on John Edwards' former Director of Finance, Andrew Young.

Question

What's happened to Andrew Young [NOTE: not the former UN ambassador], one of the central players in the John Edwards love child scandal?

UPDATES at end of story. UPDATE #1: 11:37 EDT August 5, 2008 UPDATE #2 11:50 EDT

Back in December, Young stepped forward, claiming he was the father of Rielle Hunter soon-to-be-born baby. From the National Enquirer's December story, UPDATE: JOHN EDWARDS LOVE CHILD SCANDAL!:

A former "Director of Operations" for Edwards' campaign, Young's last official position with the campaign was "North Carolina Finance Director." He left that job about a month ago - about the same time Rielle settled in Chapel Hill.

A source close to Young vehemently denies that he funneled campaign money to Rielle - who drives a BMW SUV registered in Young's name.

* John Edwards Scandal Reference stories

For readers new to this story, from December's [John Edwards’ Love Child Scandal: Reille Hunter “Kept” Woman]:

Former Edwards campaign Director of Operations, Andrew Young, gives Open Marriage advocates something to cheer about.

The 41-year-old former “North Carolina Finance Director” of the Edwards campaign has stepped forward and not only claimed the “alleged” love child of John Edwards as his but has also moved his six months pregnant mistress, Reille Hunter, into the same multi-million dollar gated community as his own wife and children.

No word from Young’s wife on how well she’s adjusted to the new neighbor, the ‘other woman' and the impending “bundle of joy.”

What's Andrew Young doing these days? Likely more info will be shortly forthcoming, but our reliable source says Young is "living large" in California.

Can somebody please post the Erik Estrada “YOU’RE GAY” photo. I want to show my wife, plus, with an Edwards article, how appropriate. Thanks.

Will the MSM dig into this? Probably not. John Edwards is a good Democrat, devoted to his wife, etc. etc. We can’t have anything out there that contradicts that.

Now, if Edwards were an evil Republican, I bet they would dig further. Remember some months ago, the New York Times ran a story full of innuendo about Mc Cain, because McCain had dinner with a woman? But there was nothing more to it with McCain and the woman, but clearly they wanted to imply something.

MSM media bias is out there. I’ve had some discussions with people about it. Sometimes they say they don’t see it, but I try to point out that part of the bias is deciding what stories to cover, and what stories they ignore. It’s not just how they cover issues and candidates, it’s also which stories they bury and which they put on the front page.

Ya think?
Man, I don’t know how much money Edwards promised Young to do this, but how in the hell do you get the wife on board for this all? Somethings are not worth the money, like having to falsely admit your an adulterer to help a rich friend out and publically destroy the image of your family. Young and his wife must be the easily bought type. Its insanity that they would agree to such a thing.

Seeing as Young is black, let’s see the child. Will be easy to tell if its Young’s or the Silk Ponys baby.

The MSM is trying to block the story because they don’t want any bombshells coming out during their attempted annointing of “The One” into the whitehouse.

I hate to pop your bubble... but many times... it is hard to tell which children are from mixed parents...

I have yet to see a photo of the child - that would tell if Young is the father.

You are thinkng of the wrong Andrew Young. Edwards’ pointman is not the former Mayor of Atlanta Andrew Young but a different white Andrew Young.

White Andy’s NC wife must have given him the boot. He sure wasn’t man enough (or liar enough) to have his name put on Lisa Druck’s baby’s birth certificate.

Take a deep breath and repeat the mantra . . .

“Entrepreneurs, independent business owners, innovators and executives that work their way to the top are bad. Lawyers and Union Bosses are good.”

Clinton, Edwards, McGreevy, Spitzer, Jesse Jackson . . . the list goes on and on, with a few R's sprinkled in to give it a balanced flavor (Gingrich, Giulliani, Craig).

This is simple math...some news organizations simply needs to offer Andrew Young and his beautiful wife 3 million bucks for a matching DNA test. Case closed!

” offer Andrew Young and his beautiful wife 3 million bucks for a matching DNA test. Case closed!”

I have said before, John Edwards called the National Enquirer LIARS. This should give the NE grounds to demand DNA testing.
We already know what a man J Edwards is.
What kind of man would ask a young man with a young family to claim he fathered a child out of wed lock.
This is all we need to know about Edwards.

“JERK” yes, but Edwards is much less.

The National Enquirer has an open challenge to both Young and Edwards to take polygraphs on the affair AND to take DNA test since their December allegations.

Both men refused to take either test. That would have ended it there.

Edwards has not denied the allegations since October, when they were of the general nature. He has not had to deny them until July 24, 2008, since he never once was asked about them by a MSM reporter.

Since July 24, he has not denied any allegations. He has, however, deflected like the trial lawyer he is.

“Tabloid trash” and “lies” does not answer the question, as any attorney knows.

It’s not THAT Andrew Young (the black, former mayor of ATL and ambassador). It’s a white dude.
