John Edwards Has Proposed to Rielle Hunter, National Enquirer Says
AOL News ^ | January 6, 2011 | Christopher Weber

John Edwards has proposed to his mistress Rielle Hunter, The National Enquirer reported Thursday.

A source told the tabloid that the disgraced former senator asked Hunter to marry him shortly after issuing a statement last year admitting that he was the father of her daughter, Frances Quinn.

Edwards, a one-time presidential candidate, "is buying a luxury $3.5 million beachfront home where they can live happily ever after with their love child," the Enquirer said.

The couple will wed this summer, according to the tabloid.

It was the Enquirer that first broke the story of the affair between Edwards and Hunter, who worked on his presidential campaign. The Huffington Post pointed out that while the Enquirer accurately reported the romance, the publication posted a nearly identical story last year about a planned Edwards-Hunter wedding -- which was later denied.

What if she says no? No loot from the old wife - lifelong child support payments to the mistress.

In mourning almost a month. A real class act there.

The National Enquirer usually gets it right. Plus a wife cannot be forced to testify agains’t her husband.

You know, he did a lousy thing for starters. A child came into the world because of his actions and he denied that he was her father. Maybe this is a chance for him to make it right. We neither have nor will ever respect him, but it would be good for Quinn if her parents were married to each other.

That said, I wonder if this has anything to do with the upcoming indictment.

‘Former Aides For John Edwards Appear In Court’

12/2/10

Raleigh, NC — “Two former aides for John Edwards have made appearances at a federal courthouse where a grand jury is investigating the two-time presidential candidate.

Former spokeswoman Jennifer Palmieri spent about an hour at the Raleigh courthouse Thursday. Former deputy campaign manager Jonathan Prince spent four hours. Neither commented when leaving.

A grand jury has been looking into Edwards’ campaign finances for more than a year, bringing in former aides and mistress Rielle Hunter for testimony.”

Yeah, the first thing I thought was, boy, that will really show Elizabeth for leaving him out of her will. She’s still getting the last laugh, John.

This is a classic case of letting the little head do the thinking for the big one.It's compounded by the fact that the heads belong to an elitist scum of the first magnitude.

What a year for Democrats - Jimmah Carter gets to say, “I’m not the WORST President ever” and now Billy Blythe gets to say, “I’m not the sleeziest ex-politician...”

If you follow the links, it looks like that Enquirer story is about a year old.

He couldn’t wait long enough to hardly put her body in the ground.

What a piece of excrement.

I am sure his nasty squeeze will use him for the bucks and cheat on him.

He deserves whatever he gets.
