John Edwards: Still in Contact with Rielle Hunter
Former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards promised his mistress Rielle Hunter they will reunite ... once his cancer-stricken wife dies.
That's according to the latest report from the National Enquirer, which first broke the scandal of their affair - and possible love child - in late 2007.
Since then, the celebrity gossip tabloid has never let up, forcing Edwards to finally admit the affair August 8. But many, many questions linger.
The magazine also reports that Rielle Hunter refuses to make John Edwards take a paternity test, which he offered (perhaps facetiously) to take in his recent "tell-all" interview, because she fears it will jeopardize their future together.
John Edwards denies he is the father of Hunter's daughter, Frances Quinn Hunter, who was born on February 27.
Former aide Andrew Young has claimed paternity (and virtually vanished) while another Edwards associate, Fred Baron, has been paying Hunter off.
But Edwards remains in contact with Rielle Hunter even now.
The North Carolina politician called her after his August 8 confession on ABC, reportedly telling her: "We'll be together when Elizabeth is gone."

And why should she have to have a paternity test? What business is it of ours? Will us knowing help put an end to hunger, or stop a war, stop child abuse, cloth people, give people a roof over their head, stop animal cruelty? Why is it so important that we must know what he did, that he and his wife dealt with? The press is making her suffer again.

Congratulations, John Edwards, I believe that soon you will have achieved the #1 political sex scandal of all time!
See for yourself how these other sex scandals pale in comparison:

I love that when this scandal truly breaks open to middle America, he will be shunned. The narcissistic, shallow boy will be shunned - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shunning. How deliciously ironic.
I'm not sure I can think of anyone worse than John Edwards in the scandal category.
Teddy? He was young.
John K? He at least had an affair with quality women and didn't get any of them PREGNANT while his WIFE IS DYING OF CANCER!
Bill? Well, he never, how to say, "did" Monica and his transgressions have always been, eh, around the zipper and not, um, outright, well, you know, vaginal penetration.
Gary? What happens on a boat, stays on a boat!
Jim? Sexual repression isn't a good thing, especially when your wife encourages a gay-threesome.
Gary? Killing a young co-ed is pretty bad but not as bad as GETTING A SKANK HO PREGNANT WHILE YOUR WIFE HAS CANCER!
And to think anyone on the planet actually believed this Ken doll turned trial lawyer who made a billion was a stand-up guy.
But, clearly Rielle Hunter (formerly know as Lisa Jo Druck) is a videographer of Academy Award caliber. You go, you Hunter girl!

And here's some of her most fine work where Edwards seriously believes that anyone gives a flying hoot where, when, or why he would announce his candidacy:

Can we please get some classy, stand-up, passionate (women) leaders to step up and give this country the values, morals, ethics and leadership it so desperately needs?
