John Edwards

John Edwards hasn't stopped lying.After many angry denials that he had sex with that woman, Rielle Hunter, Edwards went on Nightline Friday to confess that yes, he did have an affair with Hunter, and yes, he was caught by National Enquirer reporters while visiting Hunter last month at the Beverly Hilton.But he was quick to add several caveats:(A) The affair was brief; it started and ended in 2006. This was when his wife's cancer (which is now terminal) was in remission, he makes a point to emphasize.(B) Rielle Hunter's baby, who was born in February, is not his. Because of the timing, "it's not possible."(C) The affair happened after he hired Hunter, who had no real filmmaking experience to speak of, to film behind-the-scenes campaign videos for $114,000.(D) He knows nothing about any hush-money Hunter has received.(E) He knows nothing about where the National Enquirer got a picture of him holding a baby in what appears to be a Beverly Hilton hotel room.All of these assertions are suspect.

The mainstream press, shamefully, had totally ignored the story, to the point that this is as much a media scandal as a sex scandal. The New York Times was happy to run vague innuendo about John McCain on its front page in February (the week before Hunter's baby was born) but fastidiously avoided looking into the Edwards affair, which was first reported by the Enquirer in October 2007.
Too bad this ditzy wackjob didn't get a good education. She needs to buy and read a history book. This "other woman" story has been playing out basically the same way for thousands of years all over the world. Her job now is to simply shut her yap, collect her money, and raise Johnny-boy's illegitimate heir until Elizabeth goes to room temperature.
That said- it would not surprise me at all to find out the Enquirer slipped a few hundred to a maid to get hold of the trash can, and thereby some DNA...the plot thickens... And I'm sure that somewhere down the line Hillary Clinton had her dirty hands in this.
Yes, Liberalism - it's a disease for the uneducated.
