ABC story

John Edwards repeatedly lied during his Presidential campaign about an extramarital affair with a novice filmmaker, 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 44-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.

Yeah, I thought this may come out soon.

I saw the DNC honcho's pressing him about it.

There was rumour Edwards was booted from the convention and B Clinton was getting his spot for a speech.

That is pretty low to do to your dying wife.

That should also cross him off the AG list if Obama wins.

I like how the circumstantial evidence also point to him funneling over $100,000 of hush money to the woman as well. Nice misappropriation of campaign funds there, buddy.

I was one of his defenders (in the sense that I wanted more evidence...innocent til guilty). Now that it is has to light via a confession no less, he should not be considered for any positions in an Obama administration.

Could you imagine if he had actually became the "presumptive" Democratic nominee (longhost, but still) -- then this came out? Sheeeeeeet. I was too young to know what was going on when Bill went through this in '92, but I don't think Edwards would have been able to recover from that with a dying wife on his hands.

Closest thing to this would be Gary Hart back in '88. But that came out during the primaries.

After that puss sack Clinton, anybody in politics that has sex out of wedlock should be laughed into oblivion. What a dumb fuck and to think he wanted to be President with this in the closet. Bastard!

And that guy dug his own grave by daring the media to catch him. You cant make this shit up how arrogant and utterly stupid some of these people are.

Back then there was an expectation that the private stayed that way. Hart is a rather different case.

Well it's clearly a majorly dickish move, but Elizabeth has cancer, she isn't dying. She was on Colbert Report a few weeks ago lookin pretty good for a 60 year old, cancer or no.

Anyway, it's no worse than cheating on your wife who was seriously mangled in a car accident, and a lot of people don't even think that disqualifies you for the presidency.

but said that he did not love her.

Oo.. wrong thing to say. i bet she will fire back by sayin the kid is his and she is wanting child support.

its one thing to drag her out and admit she is his mistress but to say to the world that he doesnt love her? oooooo watch out for scorned women Mr. Edwards.


PS. this was posted a few weeks ago based on a story in the National Enquirer and most of you in here said it was fake. i was the only one who pointed out that the NE was normally correct in stories like this.

i was right bwhahahahaha

Yes, because we've never had a president pre-clinton that had an affair.

It's just a variation of how self hate ruins our lives. He has no idea he hates himself and unconsciously needed to destroy his reputation that so didn't match his real feelings. Look at what happens to people who win the lotto. In no time so many of them are poor again, just as they feel they deserve to be. Self hate is the E=mc2 of human emotions, the grand unifying theory that explains everything and hasn't been discovered yet because nobody wants to know.

Maybe she did not love him either and it was just good clean fun.
