John Edwards admits to affair, but denies the bastard is his

August 8th, 2008 by Scott Marks

After doing his best to moonwalk away from the press, John Edwards has finally admitted to what the National Enquirer has known all along: the former presidential candidate did have an affair. Rielle Hunter says that Edwards is the one, but he swears that Francis Quinn Hunter is not his son…er, daughter.

Edwards told ABC News that he lied repeatedly about the affair with 42-year-old Hunter (while his wife battled cancer) but said that he didn’t love her. Nice guy!

Certain that he isn’t the father, Edwards has yet to take a paternity test. He swears that it couldn’t be him because of the timing of the affair and the birth. This from the same man who told reportes in October 2007 that, “The story is false. it’s completely untrue, ridiculous.”

According to the Associated Press, “Edwards acknowledged the affair on Friday afternoon, traditionally a slow-news period even when the Olympic Games’ opening ceremonies are not preoccupying millions of Americans.”

Asked whether the affair would damage Edwards’ future aspirations in public service, David Bonior, Edwards’ campaign manager for his 2008 presidential bid, said: “You can’t lie in politics and expect to have people’s confidence.”

Since when? It sure worked wonders for Bill Clinton.

National Enquirer offers photographic evidence of John Edwards’ love child

August 6th, 2008 by Scott Marks

The National Enquirer refers to it as, “The photograph that the world has been waiting for!” Everyone, that is, except so-called legitimate news outlets that insist upon ignoring the tabloid’s findings as if they were reports of a Three Dog Night reunion tour.

What’s the matter Associated Press, New York Times and Reuter’s? Don’t want to dirty your hands printing tabloid trash about John Edwards? Better that than getting your faces reddened by a supermarket rag.

How much do you think the Enquirer “tipped” an enterprising bellhop or hotel maid for this exclusive? Inquiring minds want to know.
