Edwards's Ex-Mistress Will Not Pursue Paternity Test

Washington Post ^ | 8/09/08 | Lois Romano and Howard Kurtz

[BunnySlippers]

She has said Andrew Young is the father. He agrees.

Make him take the test.

[Gondring]

Well, the Breck Girl’s claim that “yes, I had an affair with her but the baby’s not mine” implies she is promiscuous.

But isn’t it also odd that the wife of the supposed actual father of her baby welcomes her into her home?

[Gondring]

Yes...I feel bad for the child.

This is how liberals take responsibility. Stonewall, evade, lie, deny and then only tell half the truth.

If that payoff was a lump sum,has already been executed and is a very substantial sum (in the millions) then that would certainly be a motive for her to bow out.But if the settlement took any other shape (e.g.,it contained a promise of *future* payments)then she'd be smarter to pursue this in court.

She was being paid, unofficially, for her silence. Now she's being paid, still unofficially, for refusing the test. Should she drag him into court, the payments stop. Edwards knows a lot of lawyer tricks, and with a bevy of sympathetic judges could delay any further payment for decades.

Wouldn’t want to have to give back the house, would she?

...a newly formed firm run by Hunter...

i'd bet that fellow abmulance chaser 'baron' set that 'firm' up

baron - the one that said the tort lawyers own the senate

[goldstategop]

A paternity test doesn't prove one is the father. It only eliminates some guy could be the father. Only the mother really knows which man she slept with the longest.

[mware]

No sense killed the goose that laid the golden egg.

[Gondring]

Considering this woman’s history, Edwards needs to.

What do you know about her history?

[Dog Gone]

The bad thing is that the MSM has now forced us to buy the National Enquirer to get any real news.

[goldstategop]

Agreed. Hunter has a vested interest in protecting Edwards if only to keep that money tap turned on.

If the cash spigot ever slows down, I’ll bet she changes her mind.”

If she or the kid ever need public “assistance”, doesn’t the state have a right to know who the father is so they can bill him for srvices???

[Clara Lou]

How convenient.
My thought, exactly.

[ridesthemiles]

$15,000 a month in illegal “salary” a month from Edwards.

The slut is worth every penny! Edwards is definitely getting his money’s worth.”

Soooo—what is showing up on her tax return?

“Child Support”??

Extortion payments??

How does this show up on a w-2 or a 1099??

Just acking...

[Gay State Conservative]

But a woman always knows who fathered her child.

Really? Every woman? Always? I guess you've never heard the phrase "woman of easy virtue".

[palomonte]

don’t look out the window - that is COLD - funny as anything - but COLD.

[Revolting cat!]

Me thinks a DNA test can be arranged with the cooperation of the diaper delivery man and a pony beautician.

[JoeGar]

I’m betting that National Inquirer will pay someone to pick through trash cans for necessary DNA samples. It would not be that difficult.

[mware]

I wonder if the guy who is claiming to be the father is willing to have the test.
