Ooooh! I remember this getting smashed before it had a chance to develop. Of course lots of people discounted it due to the source: natl enquirer. They have been right about a lot of things in the past though. The previous story only mentioned the prior link via the documentary she was making about Edwards. And now he's been busted with her at a hotel? Not good!

People magazine ran a giant spread on the Silky Pony and his "undying love" for his cancer-striken wife. Complete with photos of the two renewing their vows after X of years of marriage. Hmmmm.........

Quote
John and Elizabeth Edwards took a break from the campaign trail to celebrate their 30th anniversary yesterday by renewing their vows. The couple wrote new vows for the private ceremony at their Chapel Hill home; the small group in attendance included kids Cate, Emma Claire and Jack. Then they headed to their favorite romantic restaurant: Wendy's.

The two law school students wed on July 30, 1977, just days after graduating from UNC and taking the bar exam. The 24-year-old groom gave his 28-year-old bride an $11 ring (she's still wearing it); the honeymoon in Williamsburg lasted one night. On their first anniversary, they were in the midst of a move and dropped by Wendy's for dinner -- a tradition they've repeated every year since. Last night, the renewlyweds dined at the hometown fast-food joint; he had a cheeseburger and iced tea, she had chili and a Frosty.

What I'm waiting for is the lawsuit - If Edwards sues, its probably a bogus story, If there is any truth to it, he will not risk the dirty laundry airing that a trial would bring.

from that article, it sounds like he is lobbying for the second slot.

UPDATE: The NATIONAL ENQUIRER is revealing new details about the political scoop we broke yesterday - the secret meeting between Vice Presidential candidate John Edwards and Rielle Hunter.

 A team of ENQUIRER reporters caught the married ex-senator visiting his mistress and secret love child late Monday night at the Beverly Hilton hotel in Los Angeles hotel.
   
 As we reported previously, Edwards arrived at the hotel at 9:45 p.m. (PST) Monday, driven by a friend in a BMW, and was seen by ENQUIRER reporter Alan Butterfield.

We can now reveal that the man who drove Edwards was Bob McGovern, the same man who drove Rielle to the hotel from Santa Barbara and rented her room in his name.

He was driving a 1999 four-door midnight blue BMW.
   
 Said Butterfield: "The car had a baby seat in the back for Rielle's infant. He pulled into the parking lot, took a ticket from the automated machine, pulled forward, and stopped right after the parking gate lowered. Edwards got out of the passenger side, walked around the front of the car and went in a side entrance near the swimming pool.

 "McGovern parked the car and then slowly walked back inside the hotel and went upstairs."
   
  In the aftermath of our exclusive story, the NATIONAL ENQUIRER has now learned:
   
* Edwards' advisers are "spitting mad and furious" that his late-night escapades have made international headlines because it could derail his chances of becoming Barack Obama's running mate.
   
 * Edwards has not explained his whereabouts to any members of other news media outlets who have been trying to follow up on the story.
   
* His mistress, blonde divorcee Rielle, meanwhile, has returned to her home in Santa Barbara, Calif., and sources say she is "in despair" that Edwards might cut off contact with her because their latest rendezvous has been exposed in the media.
   
After we posted the details of Edwards shocking meeting with Rielle, political sources close to Edwards revealed how he was candidly scolded by his advisors hours later.
   
One political source divulged: "His advisors told him they were furious that this had been brought out by the NATIONAL ENQUIRER right when Obama is considering whether he's V.P. material with the Democratic National Convention (Aug. 25-28 in Denver) only weeks away.
   
 "From what I hear, John was read the riot act by his people. The fallout from this could cost him the job of running mate. They told him Obama doesn't want to pick someone and be embarrassed by the choice. This 'bimbo eruption' at this critical time will do him absolutely no good.
   
 "While his people are not trying to tell him how to live his personal life, this baggage isn't going to help him convince Obama that he's the right guy to be his veep."
   
 A day after the incident, Edwards traveled to Denver for an appearance at the University of Denver in support of the anti-poverty campaign, called Half in Ten. The very first question put to him at the event was about whether he'd become Obama's running mate.
   
 Edwards was quoted as saying: "I'm not seeking the job. I don't expect to be asked…but anything that Sen. Obama would ask me to do, whether it's in his campaign or in his presidency, I would consider seriously."

But Edwards made no official comment on our bombshell disclosure about his late-night antics less than 24 hours earlier.
   
Said another source: "He's going out of his way to avoid discussing it - he knows whatever he says will come back to haunt him. If he denies being there, he doesn't want to be found out to be a liar."   
   
In other new details, the NATIONAL ENQUIRER has learned that McGovern, the man who picked up Edwards and dropped him off at the hotel, has become one of Rielle's closest friends.

McGovern reserved rooms 246 and 252 at the Beverly Hilton under his name. Rielle was in one room and McGovern was in another with her baby. This allowed her and Edwards to spend time alone.
   
Another source said: "Bob McGovern is someone Rielle met in Santa Barbara when she recently moved there. He's become one of her closest friends and agreed to help her see Edwards."

Rielle has not yet made any public comments about her Monday night visit from Edwards .

the criminal complaint will probably make it impossible for the MSM to continue to turn a blind eye to this story . . . . I saw an item on the philly enquirer's web site about it this morning.  usually, as soon as the first MSM outlet plays the story, the dam bursts, and everyone carries it.

isnt Elizabeth Edwards being uncharacteristically quiet over this? She is usually the first (of the two of them) to find a microphone and start putting her thoughts and opinions out there right away..

Considering that whenever the Breck Girl has been attacked in the past, Elizabeth has been this passionate in his defense:

[youtube=425,350]<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/LWSjUe0FyxQ&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/LWSjUe0FyxQ&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>[/youtube]

Yes, her silence now is very, very out of character.

Interesting.  I don't usually believe anything in the tabloids, but the Enquirer filing charges and their follow up does give me pause. 

And Elizabeth Edwards hasn't made a peep and she's usually out in front "defending" John.
