John Edwards Love Child ‘Scandal’, Rielle Hunter Responds
SAYS the National Enquirer: “UPDATE: NATIONAL ENQUIRER WORLD EXCLUSIVE: JOHN EDWARDS LOVE CHILD SCANDAL!”
John Edwards is the Presidential candidate with the smooth hair and decent teeth. He cannot fail.
But now the Enquirer reports that his winning look, allegedly, worked on one blonde named Rielle Hunter. She is more than six months pregnant — “and she’s told a close confidante that Edwards is the father of her baby!”
For his part, Edwards has denied having an affair with Rielle. And where is she? The magazine says Rielle has “gone into hiding” - “living in an upscale gated community near political operative Andrew Young, who’s been extremely close to Edwards for years and was a key official in his presidential campaign.”
And now married father Young says he is the father of Rielle’s baby.
Says Rielle said: “The fact that I am expecting a child is my personal and private business. This has no relationship to nor does it involve John Edwards in any way. Andrew Young is the father of my unborn child.”
End of story. Says a source: “Rielle told me she had a secret affair with Edwards. When she found out that she was pregnant, she said he was the father.”
Says the Enquirer: “Rielle loves Edwards and will do anything to protect him, the source says.”
And Enquirer reporter confronts her. Says she: “I have no idea what you’re talking about.”
Why is she living in Young’s gated community? Says she: “I have no idea what you are talking about.”
Who fathered her baby? Says she: “I have no idea who you’re talking about or what you’re talking about.”
When asked if there was a string in the back of her body that can be pulled to make her talk, Rielle replied: “I have no idea what you’re talking about…”

You lying sleazebags will try anything to destroy John Edwards. Did the anti-Semitic b—- Hillary have her operatives plant this story??

the story - there is hardly a story. It’s terrific tabloid sensation in the face of all parties involved saying the opposite is true

I wouldn’t be surprised at anything John Edwards does. It’s interesting how people everywhere are saying, “it can’t possibly be true!” Gulp. Well, if you lived a lie your entire life or have lived an inauthentic life sometimes karma really will bite you.
Whether or not the story is true, and the woman in question, who can’t be bothered to answer questions, is doing more than any tabloid could possibly do: she’s keeping the story out there by denying who the father of her child REALLY is, if she’s actually pregnant, and if she is really Rielle Hunter.
I have no use for tabloids but they serve a purpose. They are immediately dismissed as trashy magazines and their constant Alien Sightings Headlines, but they dig up the really ugly stuff about people that society would rather not know (or can’t stomach because they also live in a world of Oz).
Ms. Hunter can’t hide forever. The paternity of her baby will eventually be discovered and whether or not Edwards actually fathered it. Poor kid. Her denials and deliberate cluelessness fool no one.

I saw Edwards on the Larry King show once, and he was incredibly fake. Everything he said, even the way he looked at his wife (she was also on the show) looked over-rehearsed and insincere.
I wouldn’t be surprised if he did have a secret love child - still I think politicians private lives should be left private unless they’re voting for legislation that pushes a self-serving agenda, or is hypocritical.

Edwards the ambulance chaser? What a phony. If we get him for president, we are doomed.

Edie Rose, you are a joke. Fisrt of all, Hillary in not a b____, you are for even saying something so hateful. Go to “thehillaryiknow.com” and get to know here before you spew such hatred. A Doctor could probably get through that biggoted head of yours.

I think REAL father could be EDWARDS or CLINTON (as in Bill) as Bill and John may be involved in some kind of homosexual / heterosexual three sum. This is just a hint of what is to come, if Hillary is elected and Edwards is the VP

I think we ALL know who started these malicious stories about John Edwards or on anybody else who is not on their side.
Just like the people who mysteriously “died” in Arkansas when they went against them or knew something on them.

RUSH LIMBAUGH broke this “LIE” early this week. “. ….At long last, has RUSH no dignity”? I think not! No moderization is warranted. I heard RUSH dribblle out this dastardly deed with my own ears.

I haven’t heard that John Edwards or anyone else is planning to sue the National Enquirer for printing a “false” story.
Wonder why not? Maybe because it’s true.

It’s gutter politics. The story will stay dead unless Edwards starts doing better in the primaries, in which case ‘anonymous sources’ will revive it to stop him.
