Update: John Edwards Confesses to Affair but Denies Paternity

Or so it would seem. The proprieties of a family website demand that this be limited to a link.

National enquirer??? Long line at the grocery store?

No way...he can do better than her.

Actually, the National Enquirer does pretty solid reporting, and has a large staff of defamation lawyers, and in this story, it claims its own reporter was doing the gum shoe work. I know it is surprising, but it's true.

Hell I'd respect him more if he was with some stud compared to this hag.

She just doesn't photograph well, perhaps. Her expression kind of reminds me of Frankenstein for some reason however.

she looks like a cross between lucinda williams and tyne daly.  definitely a bad photo, but also she's not too attractive either.

no comment on the veracity as I have zero way of knowing.  sad story if true, though.

Uhhh...ok. They are entertaining I will give you that but not too sure about the solid reporting.

[Everett]

Wait, is John Edwards trying to prove that he's straight or something? This isn't convincing at all; that woman could turn any man gay.

The Enquirer has tried running this story before, it's never gotten anywhere. Trash this like you would an ARG poll

why?  they were right on the limbaugh story....which BTW was then jumped on every media outlet out there.  of course in this case, its "just the enquirer"

As I just said in that post - they've tried to run this story before and it's been proven BS

That's exactly right.  I don't understand the hate.  The specificness of the times, dates and places is interesting also.

Elizabeth Smart, anyone?

Hmm...a paper that preys upon people at the bottom of the economic spectrum going after a candidate that pushes policies most beneficial to them...so surprised.  At least he's getting some attn. from the "liberal" media, unlike those politicians from each party that were rated most favorably by corporate America.

Just like with Gary Hart.  Oh wait...

I'm shocked that you're actually defending him.  His wife is dying of cancer.  Meanwhile, Edwards has an illegitimate child and is having an affair.  How do most of you react, either ignoring it or defending him.  Just pathetic.

Hunter has really let herself go since HuffPuff first wrote about her last year:

i'm glad you get your news from bottom-feeders.  CNN/FN/MSNBC aren't much better, though, but at least they're not preying upon the most vulnerable (the "news" networks cater to wealthy, "educated" people who are like totally open-minded, except when it comes to economics). btw, i'm not defending him, but i'll need corroborating evidence before i can appraise JRE's character.  all i know is that i wish Obama had his policies and commitment to substantive debate.

First, I don't read the national enquirer.  Second, a lot of the information was extremely specific, although I'll grant you that I should have waited for more information before I passed judgement.
