What Rielle Hunter Told Me

Amazing how a journalist with exceptional credentials would miss a breaking story like the Edwards affair. And not to follow up with all the information he had is simply unbelievable. Or was there some other motive. We may never know but it is equally sad when truth has to come from the National Enquirer and all the BS has to come from once were reputable and reliable news mags. Perhaps that is why readership continues on a dramatic downward spiral.

He's pathetic...a lousy coward and not worth discussing!

An adulterer is an adulterer no matter what position, or class, or race, they happen to be. People seem to think that men and women don't cheat on their spouses but unfortunately it happens daily. All involve are hurt in some manner. This has taken place since the begining of time, and its not going to stop just because either the man, or woman got caught. Tomorrow their will be yet another person who gives in to their desires, regardless of how they feel or don't feel about their spouse, being the man or woman. The individual themselves are the only one whom can choose to make the choice to cheat on their spouse with another or not. Some make the right decision to not do so, and some don't. Infidelity is a choice, and only our on conscious can make the decision of if we will allow the act to take place.

An old soul who could change the world! YEA RIGHT. So we have Obama running as a democrat but he's a socialist in disguise, and Edwards was SO self absorbed he didn't care that his affair and love child would ruin his party, not to mention the really important things like his marriage, his family and his creditability. I knew that 700 hair cut indicated there was a flaw in his character.... I just didn't realize how big it was. I hope Mrs. Edwards has the sense to divorce him, take him for all he's worth, and kick him to the side with his NEW AGE kook. They deserve one another. What a very self centered egotistical man. He would make a great VP for Obama. They are both deceitful and arrogant.

you know what? john edwards made a mistake,his wife knows about it,its a personal thing,its over and done with.give it a rest already!!

This article provided me with insight beyond the "he did it and lied about it" stage. I have felt betrayed less by Edwards affair than by his denials and lack of forthrightness. Yet after reading this article, I feel more compassion for the man who seems to be struggling with his own development as a person and as a soul. Thank you. May all parties stay true to their paths.

Hello:

See above link. John Edwards should get on with his political career. He made things right with his family which shows good character. This adultery thing should not be eating him up. George Bush is OK with adultery. He has an appreciation for fine looking ladies.

I believe that this story should have been titled, "What Rielle Hunter Didn't Tell Me" . This author, Jonathan Darman seems like he had the hots for Rielle and he was somehow hoping that she would feel likewise. It didn't happen and there's zero chance of it ever happening, so now he has this story.......Darman, you are the sick puppy here......get paid to do some real work.

What exactly is the point of this article? Interesting , if not antiquated, thought that Edwards would have to be protected from women who flirt with him on the campaign trail If he was unable to handle that, maybe it's better he didn't make it into office, where the decisions are much more complicated. Jonathan Darmon is a decent writer with some snap. Someone should remind him that most of us already read the "Scarlet Letter" in high school. Something substantive would be a much better use of his talents.

So, John Edwards had an affair? Yes, he did... and admitted to doing so. John McCain actively pursued Cindy while still living with and married to his wife who had been in a serious car accident and was recovering. John McCain lied about this and no one has ever called him on it. Had this been a democrat, he would have been shaken, stirred and hung out to dry. No, I don't like any of the candidates and I think they are all in it for themselves. There are no more statesmen... they are all politicians no matter the party. John McCain could have had my vote 8 years ago, but this man in his body changes his mind like he changes his socks.

John I was counting on you to be the good guy, the one we could look up to. sorry this happened to you

Nice piece. Of course it's one person's insight of a very erratic semi-relationship. She seems to have been a nice person toward you. I'm glad I don't see people as a "story" like you do. But what does this story really tell us?

poor John, just keep the zipper zipped john, I was rooting for you & the last nice guy let us down.

I also wanted to add that it is very probable that Ms. Rielle's baby is John Edward's child. I would imagine that denying the fact is an attempt to shield Mrs. Edwards from further public embarrassment and private pain. If this is true, then I feel that the media should show uncharacteristic restraint, and save the tabloid approach, so Mrs. Edwards can have a graceful and dignified existence. The woman is dying, show some semblance of respect.
