John Edwards Reportedly Caught in Affair with Rielle Hunter
John Edwards Reportedly Has a Mistress, Love Child
Excerpt:- According to Times of the Internet reporter Amy Ling, the "National Enquirer" is reporting that former senator and vice president hopeful John Edwards has a mistress and a love child.
The "National Enquirer" reports their staff caught John Edwards at a Los Angeles Hotel at 2:40 a.m. and has named his mistress as Rielle Hunter. The publication has accused Edwards before of having a dalliance with Hunter, indicating that in November of 2007 he impregnated her.
Edwards, who is being considered by Barak Obama as a running mate, is married and his wife has cancer.
Alan Butterfield of the "Enquirer" is quoted as saying in the "National Enquirer" report that "Edwards was not carrying anything. He walked in alone. He was wearing a blue dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up. He was looking around nervously before he entered the hotel. Once inside, he interestingly bypassed the lobby and ducked down a side stairs to go to the bottom floor to catch the elevator up - rather than taking the elevator in the main lobby. He went out of his way not to be seen."
Another article, "John Edwards meets Rielle Hunter and Their Love Child. Now What?" written by Natalie Pric of EntertainmentAndShowbiz.com questions the situation as to its seriousness.
Of course, given the "Enquirer's" track record, there is the possibility of a mistake but, still, Pric indicates in the article "this is not a crime against humanity and it's not the first time it has happened." She is referring, no doubt, to Bill Clinton.

Edwards admits affair, denies fathering daughter- Aug 10, 2008
FORMER US Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards admitted on Friday to an extramarital affair while his wife was battling cancer. He denied fathering the woman's daughter.
Mr Edwards told America's ABC News he lied repeatedly about the affair with a 42-year-old woman but said he didn't love her. He said he has not taken a paternity test but knows he is not the father because of the timing of the affair and of the birth.
A former Edwards campaign staff member claims he is the father, not Mr Edwards.
Mr Edwards was a top contender for the Democratic nomination for president, pursuing his party's nod even after announcing his wife, Elizabeth, had a deadly form of cancer.
He placed second in the Iowa caucuses or party meetings in January but dropped out of the race a few weeks later. He has been mentioned as a possible vice-presidential choice for Barack Obama. The former North Carolina senator was the Democratic nominee for vice-president in 2004.
In 2006, Mr Edwards' political action committee paid $US100,000 ($A112,000) over four months to a newly formed company run by Rielle Hunter, who directed the production of four web videos..
Ms Hunter's daughter, Frances Quinn Hunter, was born on February 27, 2008; no father's name is given on the birth certificate filed in California.
The payments from Mr Edwards' One America Committee to Midline Groove Productions started on July 5, 2006, five days after Ms Hunter incorporated the company, for "website/internet services".

John Edwards admits he fathered aide's child- RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards finally admitted Thursday he fathered a child during an affair before his second White House bid, dropping long-standing denials just ahead of a book by a former campaign aide who initially took the fall.
Edwards released a statement admitting paternity of the girl, Frances Quinn Hunter, who was born in 2008 to videographer Rielle Hunter as the result of an affair Edwards has already confessed to.
"It was wrong for me to ever deny she was my daughter," Edwards said, adding he was providing financial support for the child and mother. "I am Quinn's father."
Elizabeth Edwards, who has been battling an incurable return of cancer since 2007, said in an interview with The Associated Press that "the whole family is relieved." She declined to discuss the couple's marital status and said she didn't know where things will go from here.
"If somebody has a crystal ball, they can let me know," she said when asked what was next for her and John Edwards.
The admission comes ahead of the Feb. 2 release of a book by former Edwards aide Andrew Young that is expected to describe how Edwards worked to hide his paternity with Young's help.
Young initially claimed he was the child's father shortly before the 2008 presidential primary contests began. Word that Young was naming Edwards as the father first came when details of his book proposal were reported by The New York Times in September. Edwards' lawyer at the time declined to comment.
The child was born Feb. 27, 2008, indicating that she was conceived in the middle of 2007, several months after Hunter stopped working for Edwards. John and Elizabeth Edwards renewed their wedding vows in July of 2007 to celebrate their 30th wedding anniversary.
Hunter's lawyer, Michael Critchley, said the admission is "good for everyone."

A former staffer has just released a tell all book about Edwards.
There's also an Edwards sex tape out there.
So, who's the biggest loser – Tiger Woods or John Edwards?
John Edwards' former aide says he's spurned offers for sex tape

John Edwards Sex Tape Spurs Legal Wrangling
Excerpt- John Edwards' one-time mistress wants her "very private" tape back, but a former Edwards aide is holding on to it and, at least for now, rejecting offers to sell it.
"We haven't done anything with the sex tape," former aide Andrew Young told ABC's George Stephanopoulos on "Good Morning America" today. "We were offered gigantic amounts of money, and we said no."
Edwards' former mistress Rielle Hunter filed a lawsuit against Young and his wife, seeking damages for invasion of privacy and demanding the return of the tape she said in legal documents "depicted matters of a very private and personal nature." Young's attorney blocked North Carolina deputies who showed up at his office to retrieve it.
Young said he retained the tape and voicemails from Edwards for writing his new tell-all book, "The Politician."

This guy is a super colossal douche bag. Has an affair on his cancer stricken wife AND hits her too?
Not that Edwards' wife is a prize, either. Based on some things I heard about the wife (not just in this article below but elsewhere), she doesn't sound very nice, either.
The Edwards mistress, Rielle Hunter is not an attractive woman. She is, IMO, somewhat of a "bow wow." I would think if a man is going to cheat on his wife, that he'd at least pick a "looker."
The former friend/aide who wrote a tell-all book about Edwards was interviewed on Hannity couple nights ago. This aide says that Edwards was a snob. He did not like to mingle with regular, every day folks.
Enquirer: John Edwards Hit Cancer-Stricken Wife Elizabeth Edwards
Elizabeth Edwards told 'close friend' John 'beat' her: report
Edwards hit wife during heated fight: report- Disgraced former presidential candidate John Edwards reportedly beat his cancer-stricken wife during a horrific marriage-ending fight.
"John lost his temper big time," a close friend of Elizabeth's revealed to the National Enquirer. "She has the divorce papers drawn up, but she can amend them to charge John with domestic violence."
The couple's furious confrontation was the "final straw" in Elizabeth's decision to end their 32-year marriage after it was revealed that he had fathered a child out of wedlock with his ex-mistress Rielle Hunter, the newspaper revealed today in a bombshell report on its Web site.
