Edwards thought '1-in-3 chance' he was father of Rielle's unborn child, ex-aide testifies (?)

John Edwards apparently didn't think too highly of his mistress.

According to testimony Tuesday from Edwards' former top confidante, the ex-senator didn't give himself great odds when he doubted that he was the father of Rielle Hunter's unborn child.

"He said that she was a crazy slut, and it was a one-in-three chance that it was his child," Young testified.

Whether or not those were the odds, Edwards made a bad bet. After denying for months that he was the father, even after he copped to the affair, Edwards has acknowledged paternity for their daughter who is now 4 years old.

Young's anecdote was just one of several titillating details that emerged during the second day of testimony in the high-profile Edwards trial. Young also described how Edwards' late wife Elizabeth learned of the affair. He said Elizabeth would answer her husband's cell phone without saying anything, allowing Hunter to start talking assuming she was having a private conversation with John.

And to think this man wanted to be POTUS! He's obviously NOT a good decision maker.

I have no opinion about the accuracy of that statement, but edwards was in a commanding position to make that assessment. After all, she was bonin' him. He would know what level of morals was required for that.

I can understand being tempted by a willing woman. I do not understand being tempted by a willing woman who I regarded with contempt. I do not understand risking impregating a woman one viewed with apparent disgust. This man is very debased.

Opie is a scum bag always has been, always will be. He will slither into prison at some point and we will find it hard to remember (like Trafficant and Cunningham and .. oh you get my drift). That will be opie’s well deserved fate.
