Edwards Admits Sexual Affair; Lied as Presidential Candidate

[Zeus]

For an attorney and politician, that's one lousy statement. He could have worded that much better.

Now the renewing of their vows in July 2007 makes a lot more sense. He totally did that to smooth things over with his dying wife.

Scumbag.

Ugh.

Diane Sawyer: "Let's turn now to our picture of the morning. And they are new pictures and David Muir is bringing them to us. You've been covering the Edwards campaign."

[During segment, a montage of photos of the Edwards renewal of vows can be seen onscreen.]

David Muir: "Yeah and this is an incredibly personal photograph that we’ve now gotten a chance to see. It’s the renewal of the vows, the backyard in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The former senator and his wife Elizabeth there with their children Kate and the two little ones, Emma Claire and Jack. Apparently this was an idea that they decided to do while they were back at the doctor's office in the spring when they suspected the cancer had come back for Elizabeth. John Edwards asking her, turning to her in the doctor’s office and saying, ‘Will you marry me again?’ And Elizabeth actually told him, she said, she asked back, ‘Will you take another 30 years?’ And he said, ‘Absolutely.’"

I'm poking around and searching, and I'm trying to find out why Mizz Hunter changed her name to Rielle Hunter from Lisa Druck.  The ONLY thing I can find is a meaningless interview with an ex-husband that doesn't mention anything at all, other than her moving across the country to California (or wherever).  No previous history, nothing.

[JohnnyReb]

I know a lawyer that hates lawyers.......especially the John Edwards type. I bet he'd just lone for Liz to give him a call.........

One lawyer trying to take money out of another lawyers pockets....that's got to be ugly AND I WANT TO SEE IT.

[Hawkgirl]

I feel horribly for his wife..however; this release may prevent the dummies from attacking McCain'  own indescretions.

[Chris_]

Here's what I've found, echoed from a few other sites.

RIELLE Hunter - the woman reported by the National Enquirer to be John Edwards' mistress and mother of his love child - is no stranger to fans of Jay McInerney. The novelist dated the blonde for a few months in the late 1980s and based his book "Story of My Life" on her.

Hunter was known as Lisa Druck when McInerney met her at Nell's in 1987. "She's a nice girl," the author told Page Six. "She used to be a real party girl.

"When she wasn't out at nightclubs, she was taking acting classes. We dated for only a few months, but in that period, I spent a lot of time with her and her friends, whose behavior intrigued and appalled me to such an extent that I ended up basing a novel on the experience," McInerney recalled.

"It was narrated in the first person from the point of view of an ostensibly jaded, sexually voracious 20-year-old who was inspired by Lisa. I certainly thought of Alison Poole as a sympathetic and ultimately endearing character."

I lost all rerspect for her after reading what she put out Wretch.

She made it sound like John Boy tripped and accidentally stuck his johnson in this chick and the Tabs were the real villains.

It is disgusting watching these women shill for their retard husbands.

what is she gonna do, asdf?

she stuck to her guns, and they just happened to coincide with the sily pony.

[Happy Fun Ball]

I remember how she joined DU a year or two ago and they ran her off (not liberal enough I suppose). I wonder how many of them remember that.

Yeah I know. 

But just ONCE why doesn't one of these women stand up at the press conference and say "Yeah my husband banged a trannie hooker in an airport phone booth and he's a disgusting ****ing scumbag who I'm gonna rape in divorce court!"

It would be a breath of fresh air.

[debk]

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it really is his kid and then that Elizabeth divorces him. 

She's not going to divorce him.....she may not live long enough to get through a divorce in the state of NC.

You have to either live apart for a year then file, or file then live apart for a year, before it will even come before the court system.

She won't put her children through that......

[Miss Mia]

Elizabeth was disgusted by how DU acted when Laura Ingraham was diagnosed with breast cancer that she scolded them and never posted again.

Shithead tried to change the subject to John McCain in tonight's interview.

"What I was thinking was this was something that was personal to my own family," Edwards said, citing other public figures having survived extramarital affairs. He recalled, he said, having heard "John Mccain talk about the mistakes that he’s made in his past with respect to his first marriage."

"I’m not the first person to do this," he said.

That pretty damn low. John boy gets popped for an affair, then lying about it. Instead of manning up and taking his lumps he try's to deflect by getting others to focus on someone elses transgressions. Sorry John Boy it doesn't matter if 100K other guys are cheating on their wife. You got caught. It's time to grow a pair,get a backbone and man up and take your medicine.

[NHSparky]

Also, McCain's issues occured BEFORE he decided to run for public office, no?

And frankly, given the divorce rate among AD military, and add combat vet/POW on top of that, well...I'm not making excuses, but Silky Pony is trying to cry "fire!" where there isn't even any smoke.

Shit, you might as well bring up the fact Reagan was divorced while you're at it--it's about as relevant, John-Boy.

The candidate being touted as a torchbearer for women is not Senator Clinton, but one of her former colleagues, John Edwards....

"I've gotten to know a lot of political leaders over the years that I've been an advocate for women's rights. I know the difference between those who advocate as a political position and those who understand the reality of women's lives."

I wonder if Kate Michelman would like to retract her claim.

terminal cancer or not, she allowed his lying to stay hidden while he was out there running for the highest office in the world. she let him fundraise, and receive honors and talk about morals like he had them - when he did not.

if she was as 'brilliant' as people claim, she would have said, "well, that affectively ends another Presidential campaign for you" ...but she didnt.

[DixieBelle]

^H5 lauri.

if this had been one of the GOP candidates who didn't make it to the top like Edwards, they would be CRUCIFIYING both the man and his wife. I can just picture it in my head now.

Look at what they did to Larry Craig. The man was an idiot and did something stupid but not criminal or even worthy of more than page 27. But no, it was heralded as THE scandal of the time. *eyeroll*

Just as I was disgusted with how the Primitive American Jews treated Zionism & the tiny Jewish State and proudly proclaimed themselves Dove Arab lovers and branded Israel "the New South Africa"

[Airwolf]

This whole thing is beginning to remind me of that line from "The Last Boy Scout"...

Joe: Sure, sure, it just happened. Could happen to anybody. It was an accident, right? You tripped, fell on the floor and accidently stuck your dick into my wife. "Oops, I'm sorry, Mrs. H, I guess this just isn't my week".

Hi5
