“why is everyone so interested in these trashy stories from trashy magazines?”
I don’t know. This isn’t a story- —yet. It may never be. Besides, whenever my husband visits a friend with a baby he holds it- does that make him the baby’s father? So far, this doesn’t pass the smell test.
The NE may have been right sometimes- but they are wrong more often than not ( Bushes divorcing- W back on the bottle- the condi affair) just remember that. You can’t believe them when it fits your political views and think they lie when they go after your own.
I would think that DU people tend to celebrate promiscuity.
I view the child differently. It is a child that did not get aborted because it was inconvenient, and that is an unmitigated good.
Now if this were a Republican, you just know there would be wall-to-wall coverage.
if it’s at the supermarket checkouts,
it’s not exactly a secret.
No, I don’t think you’re talking crazy talk. As much as I loathe The Silky Pony, and would love nothing more than to see him exposed for the scumbag hypocrite that he is, the ‘love child’ in question didn’t ask to be brought into this.
Put Elizabeth and Rielle on the stage for the big reveal. I bet old Liz would kick that skank’s ass.
I hope I will be allowed to say something here about a concurrent tragedy happening.
John Edwards’ wife who has incurable cancer after battling the same monster earlier when he was campaigning: which is tough enough for someone who is in top shape, Edwards’ existing children of the marriage who are faced with the loss of their mother in the future and now this story surfacing. Talk about fear and abandonment and a lovely seemingly comfortable and happy family disintegrating in a few short moments.
It’s heartbreak all around. While I understand things like this happen in our lives, and some politicians soar above reality like they are gifted for more than regular people and deserve to cross boundaries of normal behavior, it just seems to me to be a sad and tawdry bit of public
gossip which we could all do without right now.
I think the American people have better and bigger things to do. Perhaps not John Edwards’ nor the Trash News - but we regular people who get on with it and pay the bills for the idiots of this world who can’t handle celebrity.
Perhaps send a kind thought in your heart to that family and the new child and the sadness which surrounds everyone.
John will now do what he loves to do - sue, sue, sue.
Edwards sure is sweaty in those pics.
I remember Michael Kinsley arguing that Bill Bennett's gambling habits were a legitimate news story.
Did you notice that noone else is covering this? It turns out Silky Pony still wants to be Attorney General in an Obama administration (if it gets that far) or some other high profile position, and a slimy hypocrite like that ought to be shamed into obscurity instead. .. You got a problem with this, for some reason?
After issuing a denial, the National Enquirer apparently followed Edwards and mistress around until they scored today. Edwards was seen leaving Rielle Hunter’s hotel room where she had brought the baby. He stayed until the wee hours of the morning when he was confronted by reporters. Edwards reportedly ran away and hid in a hotel bathroom. Read the story.
Right now, the kid is too young for this to matter much ('cept for the absent dad - see Obe's life history).
Later it could be good as the kid's genes could propel it to be POTUS. Who knows?
Sorry for the Edwards wife and children, but...
There was a chance this SOB could have ended up VP, Attorney General, or some other cabinet position.
why was he still running for pres if he knew this was going on?
Who broke the Monica Lewinski story, hmmmmm?
Forrest Gump (aka "The Hypocrite")
The Mistress
It takes two to tango...
The guy is sweatin’ like a whore in church. Didn’t the hotel room have A/C ?
