Edwards Admits Affair

John Edwards is an embarrassment to his Party, and of course, to Elizabeth:

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.

Well, since he didn't love her, it's okay that he made a run for the Democratic Party's nomination knowing that he was lying through his teeth about this. And a Friday news dump on the day of the opening ceremonies of the Olympics? Coward.

Arrogant doesn't begin to describe Edwards' actions.

He's getting no love in that diary.

1. Yeah, that kind of jumped out at me, too

I think I'd understand it better if he DID believe he'd been in love with the other woman...This just makes him look like a slut.

[Bobbieo]

2. Some of our idols etc.!!!! Guess we are lucky Edwards is not our candidate.

[PresidentObama]

3. Edwards actions were wrong. I will admit that.

But I love how you take another opportunity to attack another Democrat.

Going to stop your Hillary smearing long enough to go after Edwards?

4. Would you cut the nonsense! Edwards didn't have an affair with me. n/t

[PresidentObama]

6. But you took the opportunity to throw in your own Democrat bashing in.

Predictable.

9. He deserves to be criticized. Go to the link and read some of the comments

They're spot on.

I took the opportunity to express my disgust for his arrogance and lying. Problem?

[bunnies]

5. Democrat or not... his behavior is revolting.

Just like John McCain. Youre really defending this shit?

[Skidmore]

7. Even Democrats engage in bad behavior worth condemnation.

This idea that we have to excuse bad behavior because of political affiliation is just stupid. I feel badly for the Edwards family and am extremely disappointed in Edwards--he was my second choice as candidate and my first as VP. However, the idea that we need to somehow give him a pass because he's one of us is ridiculous.

8. Who cares if he is a Democrat?

He is still a bastard for what he did.

12. you loves you some unfaithful dem politicians.. now john can join the cheatin' club with big dawg...

:eyes:

[otohara]

10. Well She Sure Loved Him

as she was telling her friends she was in love with "John". Wonder where she got the idea it was more than just a fuck.

11. Edwards always carried himself with an air of swarmy and arrogance

not to kick a dog when he's down but DAMN the guy always made me feel uncomfortable. A little to slick. I do feel very bad for his family and supporters and wish this was not the case. :(

[Withywindle]

13. That might make it even worse.

So he didn't even care for her, he was just using her as a receptacle.


Niiiiice. :thumbsup:

16. Cafferty on CNN just said John also mentioned, besides not 'loving' her...

that this happned during his wife's 'remission'.

caffery pretty well said. ... WTF has That got to do with anything?

so john had a loveless affair - just something to masturbate in once in a while,
but it's not so bad... because his wife wasn't officially dying at the time or anything.

Elizabeth, divorce the bastard and take his hair and house.

[dionysus]

17. i am sorry, this is a serious situation, but that last line...

:spray: :rofl:

[catgirl]

14. Edwards clearly loves himself too much, to love anyone else

And I never believed his act about helping the poor. His photo op
in New Orleans was just that. His shirt was spot clean.

Al Gore, on the other hand, was so sweaty, his hair was sticking to
his face as he personally rescued patients from a hospital. John
never had an original mission.

[Whisp]

15. and I so much wanted to like that man.

what a phoney piece of shit he's turned out to be.
go fuck yourself, Johnny, and take pictures.
this along with your other big fuck up - co-sponsoring the iraq War takes you officially off my like list.

what a dissapointment.
what is it with these people that would risk all and everything for a piece of tail. wtf is wrong with men? (and women too)
