He Can't Be That Dumb, Can He?

A former John Edwards aide is pitching a book proposal in which he alleges, among other things, that Edwards made a sex tape with his mistress and baby mama Rielle Hunter.

The aide, Andrew Young, also reveals that he was lying when he himself made a statement last year claiming credit for knocking up Ms. Hunter. Young says he was so devoted to Edwards that, not only did he pretend he was the one who'd had the affair with Hunter, he willingly allowed Hunter to move in with him and his own wife and kids to hide Hunter's pregnancy from the media.

Young says he discovered the sex tape after Hunter moved out, and he and his own family moved to a new house. Young also claims that Hunter discussed her and Edwards' plans for marriage in the event Edwards' cancer-stricken wife Elizabeth did them the favor of kicking off.

Just when you thought John Edwards couldn't slide any farther down the slimeball scale...a sex tape. Actually, that's not slimeball scale, that's idiot scale. Unless you're a no-talent media whore like Kim Kardashian, there is no earthly reason for you to be making a sex tape. What, were John and Rielle planning on whipping the thing out after Elizabeth passed and they got hitched, so they could remember the good old days when he betrayed his cancer-ridden wife and ruined his political career? Make some popcorn baby, I wanna watch the sex that completely fucked up my life.

This guy isn't even worthy of being a New York politician, that's how fucking low he is.

Twisting Herself in Knots

Elizabeth Edwards has no interest in jumping off her husband's gravy train, especially not while she's in the middle of cancer treatment. Hence her tortured attempts at defending her philandering hubby, including the inane assertion that John has been "courageous" in the way he's fessed up to his affair with skank Rielle Hunter. I'm sure she means that too.

The whole situation is ugly and unfortunate and would be wonderfully entertaining if only Elizabeth didn't have cancer. That takes the shine off it as gossip. Otherwise it's a lovely Gary Hart/Bill Clinton sort of thing.

Notice that, when a male Democrat gets caught in a sex scandal, it's with a woman, but when a male Republican gets caught in a sex scandal it's with a man or a boy. I don't know what that says about Democrats vs. Republicans from a psychological standpoint except that closeted fags tend to gravitate to the GOP. It's all self-righteousness as a cover for what is perceived as immoral behavior. It's too bad people can't just fuck around as they please...it's just biology folks.

Edwards Busted

The Enquirer claims to have caught former presidential candidate and possible Barack Obama running mate John Edwards visiting his mistress and their love child at the Beverly Hilton in L.A. in the wee hours of the morning. Said mistress, a divorcee named Rielle Hunter, allegedly drove from Santa Barbara for her secret meeting with Edwards, who was in L.A. for a press event with mayor Antonio Villagairosa. Edwards allegedly visited with Hunter and his child for a brief time, then attempted to sneak out of the hotel...but was caught by Enquirer reporters. An account from the Enquirer website:

Senior NATIONAL ENQUIRER Reporter Alexander Hitchen asked Edwards why he was visiting Rielle and whether he was ready to confirm that he was the father of her baby.

Shocked to see a reporter, and without saying anything, Edwards ran up the stairs leading from the hotel basement to the lobby. But, spotting a photographer, he doubled back into the basement. As he emerged from the stairwell, reporter Butterfield questioned him about his hookup with Rielle.

Edwards did not answer and then ran into a nearby restroom. He stayed inside for about 15 minutes, refusing to answer questions from the NATIONAL ENQUIRER about what he was doing in the hotel. A group of hotel security men eventually escorted him from the men's room, while preventing the NATIONAL ENQUIRER reporters from following him out of the hotel.

Said reporter Hitchen: "After we confronted him about seeing Rielle, Edwards looked like a deer caught in headlights!

"He was clearly surprised that we had caught him at this very late hour inside the hotel.

"Some guests up at this late hour watched the spectacle in amusement from a staircase nearby."

The Enquirer has been investigating this story for months, and previously reported the existence of the love child, a report that was denied by Mr. Edwards. And do I need to remind everyone that John's wife Elizabeth is currently being treated for cancer? I know one name we can scratch off that list of Obama running mates.
