Elizabeth Edwards Kicks John Out: Furious Fight Over Mistress Paternity Test
Cover Awards ^ | May 25, 2008 | Mark Petasky

Posted on 05/13/2009 10:00:09 AM PDT by lewisglad

The National Enquirer serves up a double play this week with two marriages in crisis.

To your left is Elizabeth Edwards kicking her cheating husband John Edwards out! And, to your right is Kate Gosselin “losing all 8 kids.”

A good week for The National Enquirer?

I’d say lucky.

Because shortly, you will see three - yes three - Jon & Kate covers.

The move to put the Edwards’ story on this week’s cover was a very smart one.

In addition, the specific cover lines on each story make this an overall strong sell.

The Edwards line “She Kicks Him Out” is solid because it’s what readers want her to do. Many are wondering why she stayed with him in the first place?

Bottom Line: Two strong lines on two big stories!

“Many are wondering why she stayed with him in the first place?”

I think she thought that he could revive his political career. She likes the limelight as much as him.

I have no sympathy for Edwards.

She was willing to suffer the indignity and pain of his infidelity so long as there was a chance of her living at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

To Hell with both of them.

Furious Fight Over Mistress Paternity Test

If the paternity test shows John Edwards is the father, then he lied to his wife about only being with her one time in 2006. And she's repeated that tale.

Does anybody know who the other couple is? 8 kids? I keep hearing ‘john and Kate’, but have no idea who they are. Should I?

It’s a reality show on TLC, apparently John’s been having the mistress over while Kate’s on a book tour and her brother told all to US Weekly.

Good for her! Now if Hillary would do the same to Bill—she might be president someday. I would respect her more in any case.

I think it’s timed to boost her book sales.

Maybe these two could get their own reality show together while living in the same mansion. The dialouge would be great.

Elizabeth Edwards: Will you just shut up?!

Kate Gosselin: You shut up! Why don't you help me? HEEELLLLOOOOOOWW?!!!

Elizabeth Edwards: You're pathetic!

Kate Gosselin: You're pathetic! You fat cow! All you do around here is sit on your butt while I try and do everything. Now go load up that van with the kids while I do my hair.

Elizabeth Edwards: I'm outta here! I'm going to Wendy's for a Triple with Cheese.

There's been a rumor for a while that he's been living in their condo at the beach since all of this hit the fan.

I suspect that the purpose of her book was to get some money that he couldn't get to during a divorce (at least not easily).

After all, he is a trial lawyer.

Only if you are into voyeurism and reality TV. Apparently some people think it is cute.

Can the ex-Clintons be compelled to testify against one another if they are no longer married?

And now... apparently Kate has also hooked up with the family bodyguard.

Just sayin'...

Kate Gosselin must be an octomom if she has 8 kids.
