John Edwards repeatedly lied during his Presidential campaign about an extra-marital affair with a novice film-maker, the former Senator admitted to ABC News today.
In an interview for broadcast tonight on Nightline, Edwards told ABC News correspondent Bob Woodruff he did have an affair with 42-year old Rielle Hunter, but said that he did not love her.
Edwards also denied he was the father of Hunter's baby girl, Frances Quinn, although the one-time Democratic Presidential candidate said he has not taken a paternity test.
Edwards said he knew he was not the father based on timing of the baby's birth on February 27, 2008. He said his affair ended too soon for him to have been the father.

Yeah, he always visits the kids mom in the middle of the night and bounces the kid on his knee.
Be a man for once and just come clean, at least we can respect you for doing that...

“...he did have an affair with 42-year old Rielle Hunter, but said that he did not love her.”
Whew, I’m sure we’re all so relieved that it was lust only and not because of love...

The DEMOCRATS almost nominated this abomination of a person as their Presidential candidate in 2008 and we ALMOST had him as a VP in 2004!

Well, I guess that makes the “love-child” label illegitimate...

A mass-tort lawyer- lying? My faith in the system is shattered. I wonder how his wife is doing?

Some great one liners are coming out of this Edwards story.

Edwards told ABC News correspondent Bob Woodruff he did have an affair with 42-year old Rielle Hunter, but said that he did not love her.Nor did he inhale.
There, that makes it OK.

Friday, just as Rush leaves the air for a few days. Opening day of the Olympics. Nah, probably just a coincidence.

Why do adulterers always insist that everyone know that they don't love the objects of their affairs? To quote Jack Nicholson in Wolf, "Do you think that makes it better? To know that you betrayed me over and over again for someone who meant 'nothing' to you? To know that you betrayed me for nothing?"
