Rielle Hunter: I was helping John Edwards find his 'authentic self' (BARF)
CNN ^ | April 29, 2010

Posted on 04/29/2010 12:34:40 PM PDT by BradtotheBone

Despite many people telling her it wasn’t the best idea to sit down with Oprah Winfrey for an interview, Rielle Hunter - politician John Edwards' mistress - decided to do it anyway.

"I feel in my heart it’s the right thing to do," Hunter said Thursday, especially now that "Johnny," as she calls him, has admitted paternity of their daughter, Frances Quinn.

Hunter said she wanted to set the facts straight about who she is, and that while she understands the judgment that has been heaped upon her, she doesn’t see herself as a home wrecker or gold digger, she told Winfrey.

“I have been unfairly judged,” Hunter said, adding that she believes people reacted so negatively to her relationship with Edwards because “a lot of people bought into the myth of the marriage as being a storybook story, being so perfect and wonderful, and I destroyed it,” she said.

While some have called her a gold digger, she “wasn’t after him for money, fame, attention. I was never after him. I met him and there was a very strong connection and attraction,” Hunter said. And as for the home-wrecking accusations, Hunter observed, "It’s not my experience that a third party can wreck a home. A home is wrecked before a third party comes into the picture."

If I was searching for my authentic self, I doubt I’d look for it in some skank’s cooter.

But that’s just me.

We all owe this woman a HUGE debt of gratitude.

So, his authentic self is liar, philanderer, egoist, marcissist, etc.

One of the most annoying things about these present times is that truly embarrassing people don’t know when to shut up. Maybe this is the “Age of Shamelessness”.

"It’s not my experience that a third party can wreck a home. A home is wrecked before a third party comes into the picture."

Not at all to condone her actions, but I do somewhat agree with her on this point.

Wonder if "Johnny" had any other flings along the way??

I fairly judge her to be an ugly skank (at least a couple of Tiger’s women were kind of sexy, although not close to his wife).

Her face looks like some high school boy’s. She’s one of the reasons to establish competency exams in order to vote. What a bimbo!

Actually, this is one of the most accurate things any of these bimboes have ever said, since Edwards is beyond doubt an authentic d***.

My my count she’s now 46 years old, plus there’s the kid. I doubt it’ll be much longer before “Johnny’s” eye begins wandering again.

You know, back in the 60's that's what they claimed LSD was for.

I used to wonder if she was dumb. Now I don’t have to wonder anymore.

And the porno video they made was so they could improve their performance like debate rehersals and football plays, right?

...Rielle Hunter - politician John Edwards' mistress...

Funny how they forgot about Party label, or that he ran for president as a Democrat. I'm sure that was just an oversight.

“a lot of people bought into the myth of the marriage as being a storybook story"

The Pravda Media told us a whole lot of myths about a whole lot of Democrats. Your point IS?
