Edwards' "other woman" revives memories of a gruesome scandal
ESPN ^ | 8/14/08 | By Lester Munson, with William Nack

On Sunday, as I was sitting in my summer cabin in Vermont, completely absorbed in a New York Times story about John Edwards' affair with Rielle Hunter, I began reading a paragraph whose message shot through me like a sudden bolt of electrical current. The story centered on Ms. Hunter's refusal to take a DNA test to determine the paternity of her 5-month-old daughter, but that was not what startled me. It was this: "Ms. Hunter was born in Fort Lauderdale. Fla., in 1964 as Lisa Druck and moved to New York City in her 20s, becoming part of a Manhattan social scene that included the writer Jay McInerney …"

Man, there is a Nicole Kidman movie here, with an Academy Award, and maybe enough of a story for Burt Reynolds to win a Oscar as her dad, and another for Nicolas Cage to play Silky Pony. This has huge potential as a 5-star movie. And we can even toss in Bill Clinton, a dead horse, and the National Enquirer.

Indeed, by the time she was hired, Edwards had scrutinized her thoroughly.

I believe that background check was delegated to a Mr. Johnson.....

Who was, after all, a member of Edwards' staff.... uh, no ... wait....

There once was a girl name of Lisa,
who was known as a ravenous piece a'
With that girl's shocking past,
Silky Pony sank fast,
"That baby's not mine, it's my niece (uh...)"

My husband just asked me if maybe Lisa Druck snuck in Edward's back door?

(He's a Marine, he is allowed to say off color things.... ;^)

There once was a girl named Druck
Whose daddy was down on his luck
He put down a nice horse
and to salve her remorse
Lisa hauled Silky's ashes (upchuck)

(Your Marine husband thought of another word, eh?)

“-not only does rielle/lisa LOOK like camilla, they are both horsewomen.”

Reille/Lisa must have been a horsewoman.

She sure took a lot of rides on the Silky Pony.

What with Edward’s claim that the baby isn’t his, because he and Lisa only had ‘unconventional sex’,

maybe Edwards was ‘sneaking’ in Lisa’s back door.

(Semper Fi and a big THANKS to your hubby!)

I gotta give anyone who can attach alligator clips to a horse’s anus some credit though.

Good point.

Thanks, I'll pass along your sentiments to my husband.

We freepers thought her name was "Ree-ell"
But that's incorrect, as I hear tell
It's pronounced "Rye-lee"
Which makes me smile-ee
A rose by any name doth still smell
