What Rielle Hunter Told Me

This woman sounds like a nut case. Sadly, this is exactly why Edwards went for her. During the past few years I've come to realize that many men are attracted to crazy women. A male friend of mine confirmed this. According to him, "the crazier she is, the hotter the sex". Unfortunately, while in the throes of all the craziness, the men forget about the pain they are causing their family. Eventually these men wise up but not before their family is destroyed.

I try not to judge people..."let he without sin, etc..." but as the widow of a victim of cancer, it made me sick to my stomach to hear Edwards cheated on his ill wife and especially upset to hear that he said - she was in remission at the time and I didn't love the other woman. What the hell difference does any of that make? I know when my husband was sick and dying of cancer, I could not even think about cheating on him even though there were times I craved the physical intimacy that my husband just didn't have the strength for. I took my vows seriously and the spiritual and emotional closeness my husband and I shared during his last months on earth to me were infinitely more important than my physical needs. And I would not trade those moments for anything. I do agree that the matter should be a personal one between Edwards and his wife but it was very disappointing and infuriorating that he lied about it the whole time he was seeking the Democrat nomination. How incredibly stupid in this day and age where information is instantly disseminated throughout the world? How could he think this would not get out someday? I definitely lost all respect I had for him although to be honest I probably wouldn't have voted for him anyway.

Jonathan Darman comes across as someone who DID NOT know who Rielle Hunter was until now, therefore, the drama of making it sound as though she was ALSO hitting on him as well. I am certain that if she is a New Age type of woman, that she did not come across as though she was chasing Jonathan to be her friend. Jonathan, you sound like someone seeking femail friendship and YOU missed the connection with her. Friendly outgoing person; don't pat yourself as yet for having received "surprising intimacy" --- two kisses on each cheek? Come on now, time for you to really get some action, as that was just the way many people say hello to each other. Glad to hear you make your living writing fictional fantasy. In your dreams!

I don't really care for Edwards; however, from the very beginning, I noticed that you knew she thought of you as a friend (yet you claim you didn't). You betrayed that trust. How do you sleep at night after writing this article? People like you is what is wrong with this world today. You would sell your own mother for a few bucks. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Most people do not admit to an affair until they are caught - and even then, they will lie about the who, when, where and why - as long as they can. Is John Edwards still hiding something? Probably. But that's normal - for someone who can live a double life, lying about it seems to be the lesser of the two evils. Come on, does anyone really think he was going to come out and announce "Hey - I've been cheating"? Who does that? It's none of our business...

Why do men name their penis? They don't like strangers telling them what to do. That sums up the scandal Pretty Boy Edwards finds himself in today. He let his "other brain" do his thinking. His wife does not deserve the emotional pain and embarrassment he has brought down on their lives. If he had any "where-with-all" he would leave his loyal and good hearted wife for the new age hustler he found in a bar. They belong together

I STILL believe in John Edwards, he's a human being and he's vunerable to things in life as we all are. I'd be willing to BET if we delved into some others lives, we'd find out a lot about them as well. I don't dislike John Edwards for being human, and the gp shouldn't either. We ALL have sinned and fall short of the glory of GOD, when will this corrupted human race finally see and admit that???

Sadly, when it comes to their being under the spot light........... never.

Ok. He made a mistake. He succumbed to desire. He was weak. He was human. It's not up to us to judge him. That's up to his family and his higher power. Certainly not us. I thought the great premise of Christianity was the aspect of forgiveness. If someone was truly repenitent and asked forgiveness, then they would be forgiven. It seems very anti-christian of those out there who would condemn the man. he's human, he was weak and made a really poor choice in that weakness. The only person able to condemn this man is without sin, and he left us some 2000 years ago.

I can't help bit wonder how many of these people that are crucifying Edwards, scoffed and said "Clinton's sex life was his personal idea. So John Edwards lied, big deal, lied to the reporters, big deal. Clinton lied to the grand jury, to whom any of us under similar circumstances would be doing 10 years, not to mention get disbarred. His hand wasn't slapped, his political career wasn't ruined..John Edwards did what any husband should have done, he told his wife and family and they dealt with it. Past that it was no one's business and a good man that made a mistake should be able to allow himself and his family heal. For those that say "but his wife had cancer"; her condition while tragic, does not make the matter any greater, and this complete rehashing of this by the news media, with all the news there is, is ludicrous, ridiculous and totally uncalled for. This is real harm to his family. They have tried to put it behind him. Give the man some rest. And the rest of you perfect people, put down your rocks. Stoning is outdated, at least in this country. This behavior was not near so press worthy as his democrat precedents, Roosevelt, Kennedy and Clinton come to mind. On a gauge of 1 to 10, isn't all of this a bit hypocritical?

So where is the story here? Is it the idea that for the longest time while all of this "story-hunting" was going on, this crazy bimbo offered you an angle that no one else had on the Edwards Campaign? You mean to tell us that a well-trained journalist like you was simply hypnotized by a nut who just says that she is imbued with all that New Aged Spiritualism? Are you trying to tell us that not once while interacting with this clingy piece of IGM (Inferior Genetic Material) that you could not sense that something deeper was wrong with her and that it might be better for John Edwards for you to act in the best interest of all men and women and ask him what was really going on? Or perhaps, like all you journalists who think God will give you a pass for every time you stood by in order to watch a building burn down or a completely desperate human being as they step off the roof or the precipice of a bridge? Listen pal...You had a chance to walk right up to the man while on the plane and ask, "John...WTF are you doing?" and perhaps try to dissuade him and call upon what another candidate for president once called '...the better Angels of our nature..." No...of course not...you would rather write a retrospective about 'personally knowing and even drinking wine with' this female train wreck in the making. Shame on you, buddy. Who knows...if you were a real man...with real values of your own...you might have even made a difference in so many lives. But, no...because then, if you had one scrap of decency and understanding inside of you as a man and acted properly, you would miss out on your big chance to write about it. And as for John Edwards letting the Little Head doing the thinking for the Big Head... there but for the grace of God...go YOU. What you fail to understand from your own writing is that you reveal your own sick interest in this lunatic bitch. Meanwhile...Edwards and all the other men who swim in the shark infested waters of politics suffer that they must aggregate their fecal material and keep it all wrapped way too tight to even vaguely remain human while under the ever-watchful eyes of hypocrites and "Christians". I hope you break your own arm patting yourself on the back for writing this fish wrap. As for all the women who are "tsk -tsking" right now about John Edwards situation...Listen up... You ladies are not fooling anybody, becasue If you held a Lottery right now for a "I get to sleep with Elizabeth Edwards' Husband and Get Away With it" card...Millions of you would secretly line up to buy that "Golden Ticket". And that brings us full circle to the real reason why this crazy dish-water blonde went after him: He is handsome...He sis successful ...He is rich...and He is powerful....He's everything that this insane, pathetic broad can never be. But isn't it fun to try and destroy what you can never really possess or become? (Plug in a sinister Lucretia Borgia laugh rig

Everything has been done at least once before....but I do wonder....if Rielle films her own rendezvous...? Many girls do enjoy taking advantage of men. It takes two to indulge in such actions; but some women know how to play the game of 'Trapster' very very well.
I guess in her own way, Rielle helped John Edwards join a long list of others-in making history.

Women have a sixth sense. I'm sure Elizabeth Edwards saw exactly what this woman was for and gave her the right attitude. It takes 2 to tango but women like Rielle are always lurking around. They aren't exactly attractive, rather hideous in this case, but they give off a vibe that seems to attract men. The fact that John Edwards did when his wife has terminal cancer is unforgivable. Stress and heartache play a huge role in your immune system. I guess he put the nail in the coffin in this case. He may sya it was about him and nothing against his wife. Not the case when your actions creates so much pain and anguish for the wife.

Sounds like an STOW to me...stereotypical other woman. Anyone who has had to deal with the fall-out from their spouse's affair could see it from miles away. She will never amount to anything more than an opportunist who doesn't care who she hurts to serve her own messed up self.

Why does any of this matter, and why does anyone care?

There's an old saying that says"I rather deal with a crook who knows what he is doing than an honest man who doesn't" For me I'd rather have a President who has lived than one who hasn't. Powerful men should be given a pass on these issues, they are private and should remain that way. As Winston Churchill once commented about a blue nosed goody two shoes rival " The man has none of the virtures I respect, and none of the vices I admire".
