Aide's tale of John Edwards sex tape
New York Daily News ^ | June 28, 2009 | Rush & Malloy

Former presidential candidate John Edwards is out of luck if he hoped that the extramarital affairs of Gov. Mark Sanford and Sen. John Ensign would take people’s minds off his own cheating scandal.

Former Edwards aide Andrew Young says the ex-senator and his former mistress, Rielle Hunter, once made a sex tape, according to someone who has seen Young’s book proposal.

St. Martin’s Press just inked a deal with Young, who also says in his proposal that, contrary to his public statement last year, he is not the father of Hunter’s infant daughter — Edwards is. Edwards has denied that.

Young says that his belief in Edwards ran so deep that he agreed to take the fall for the candidate, inviting the pregnant Hunter to live with him, his wife, Cheri, and their three children. Later, after Hunter delivered the baby, Young and his family moved to a different home in California.

While he was unpacking, Young discovered a videocassette, according to the book pitch. Hunter had been hired by the Edwards campaign to videotape the candidate’s movements, but this one is said to have shown him taking positions that weren’t on his official platform.

The purported sex tape confirmed to Hunter that Edwards was even more reckless than he thought.

According to our source, Hunter confided to Young that she and Edwards talked about getting married should the candidate’s cancer-stricken wife, Elizabeth, pass away, even discussing what music they’d play at their wedding.

It was the Globe (owned by Friends of Bill) that broke the story on Edwards’ affair, no?

And I suspect that there were those in the media who knew about his affair (it’d been something that had been ongoing for a couple of years, even Edwards’ wife knew and kept quiet about it during the campaign).

I also suspect that those in the media (who also kept hush about Obama renegging on his promise to quit smoking) did so to keep Edwards viable in the primary and keep Hillary in a 3-way fight for delegates.

The press was in Obama’s camp by Jan 2008.

Makes sense.

I recall the coverup by MSM of JFK's affairs, including sharing a mistress with the Mafia.

That's called being in bed with the mob.
