Disgraced presidential wanna-be John Edwards slept with his kooky lover in his wife's bed and made a sex tape with her, a shocking new book claims.
In "The Politician," Andrew Young - the aide who once claimed Edwards' love child was his - says the ambitious ex-senator stopped at nothing to hide his indiscretions, including urging his girlfriend to abort their child.
Young describes Edwards as "barely under control" the first time the two men discussed Hunter's pregnancy.
Edwards called Hunter a "crazy slut" and questioned who fathered the baby. He asked Young to help talk her into an abortion, but she wanted the baby. She believed the child was the reincarnated spirit of a Buddhist monk who would rescue the world.
I hope there is a special place in the hereafter for people like him. It's one thing to cheat on your devoted wife and mother of your children, who has tirelessly supported your career and political ambitions. To use your marital bed to betray her trust while she is suffering from a severe or incurable form of cancer, that is quite another. But to use your money and power to discredit and maybe ruin someone you know is telling the sad truth about you really takes it to a new level.
Actually, Edwards’s wife knew about her husband’s affair but still encouraged him to seek the presidency. Not too smart.
The WSJblog (http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2010/01/26/book-report-the-politician-by-andrew-young/tab/comments/) has a lot more about Edwards:
Made in USA: Young says Edwards is an Atkins-dieter who hated making appearances at state fairs where fat rednecks try to shove food down my face. I know Im the peoples senator, but do I have to hang out with them? Before a SEIU candidate forum in Las Vegas, Young says Edwards made him cut out a made in the USA label from Youngs own suit to sew in place of Edwardss made in Italy label.
Time together: While Elizabeth was on a book tour for Saving Graces, Hunter allegedly spent time at the Edwards home. Young writes that Hunter slept in their bed and entertained the children. He also writes that he listened as Edwards told her that one day they would form their own family and have a wedding where the Dave Matthews Band would play.
