Lawyers Fight for Profits from John Edwards Sex Tape
Raleigh News & Observer ^ | July 8, 2010 | Staff

HILLSBOROUGH, N.C. — During the latest episode of the battle over a sex tape showing ex-presidential candidate John Edwards being less than presidential, Judge Carl Fox stopped with a quizzical look.

Rielle Hunter, a campaign videographer with whom Edwards had an extramarital affair and a child, claims the tape is hers and wants it back from Andrew Young, the former Edwards aide who wrote a tell-all book about the politician's quest for the White House.

At a hearing in Orange County Superior Court on Wednesday, lawyers for Young argued that Hunter had no claim to it. They contended the video belonged to the Edwards campaign or his political action committee.

If there’s a “money shot,” I don’t wanna see it!

“John McCain was never in it to win it but he believed his own hype....”

.
If McClown was playing an ego game, and I tend to agree with your opinion, what was Palin’s gameplan? Don’t tell me that she was not aware of his impending failure.

Palin was energetic. But McCain had to be dragged back into it time and time again by people who weren’t even HAPPY with his nomination but at least knew Obama’s agenda was far to the left and more disruptive of the American way of life.

McCain’s putting up much more struggle in his bid to keep his Senate seat even from “fellow” Republicans.

The media is mentally deranged or comatose.

Mostly just at work.

Those who hide behind the curtain were going to run Hillary/Edwards against McCain because they thought they had locked up the 'first female president' scenario.

Then, McCain picked Sarah Palin. (actually, he didn't. Let's just say someone in his org. chose her)

It became apparent that this was a mistake because they thought her lack of experience and exposure to the general public would ensure a lack of support. Then Edwards self-aborted. Now they were really in a fix.

So.... they used the RACE card to trump the QUEENS.

How about the court just sentence all three to hang, and televise it? The broadcast networks are hurting for viewers. Thanks BarnacleCenturion.

Sleazy politicians. The first thing they do when their political career is in ashes is get rid of the wife.

The Pravda Media’s hands are full propping up the 3-ring circus tent that is the Obama administration.

They take pot shots at Palin on their coffee breaks.

Did Chris Dodd and Ted Kennedy make any sandwich videos?

Citizen representation? I think not!!!

Al Gore, John Edwards, Bill Clinton, Chris Dodd, Ted Kennedy, Eliot Spitzer, (et al), might be the reason why good, decent men do not run for elective office: being tarred with the same brush!

It might also bode well for conservative women on the ballot.
