John Edwards Admits Sexual Affair With Rielle Hunter
By Robert Paul Reyes
I recently wrote a couple of essays reporting the fact that Edwards met his mistress and love child in a hotel. My essays elicited some heated remarks; I was pilloried for "spreading gossip" and "blatant lies".
John Edwards has finally come clean and admitted having a sexual affair with 42-year-old Rielle Hunter.
"John Edwards repeatedly lied during his Presidential campaign about an extra-marital affair with a novice film-maker, the former Senator admitted to ABC News today.
In an interview for broadcast tonight on Nightline, Edwards told ABC News correspondent Bob Woodruff he did have an affair with 42-year old Rielle Hunter, but said that he did not love her.
Edwards also denied he was the father of Hunter's baby girl, Frances Quinn, although the one-time Democratic Presidential candidate said he has not taken a paternity test."
Quotation from ABCNews.Com
Shame on John Edwards for cheating on his wife who has terminal cancer.
Shame on the mainstream press for ignoring this story, when the facts were indisputable that Edwards had some type of relationship with Rielle.
Kudos to the National Enquirer for once again breaking an important story, they were the first to report on the Edwards scandal.
Kudos to Fox News, they were the only cable news outlet giving this story any significant attention.
John Edwards is a cheat, a liar and a scoundrel, and I will be outraged if the Democrats give him a speaking role at their convention.
