    I like this article, because it makes their affair accessible to us and lets us understand the motivations behind the other woman, perhaps trying to "save" this married man from his unfriendly wife. It does not excuse any of the actions, of course, but it is interesting to see how the dysfunctional motivations started. It is kind of surprising that a man like John Edwards would be this open to destruction though. Perhaps his ego is so large that he really felt invincible. No wonder his wife was unfriendly to other women on the trail--she surely knows this about him, after 30 years of marriage. Great article!

    I am very upset with all parties, because they are only thinking of themselves. Niether party stop to think about the wife and kids involved. He took his wife in marriage and stated that he would love only her, so why is it different? If he felt like he needed to be with someone else then he should have gotten a divorce. Hunter on the other hand needs to be a women a d say when you and your wife get a divorce then I will be with you, how would she feel if someone came a long and did this to her? Did you stop to hink of them? Now the children have to grow up knowing that thier dad is no better then someone else who has done this in the spot light. They all need tested, for all types of stuff because none of them were truthfull and still don't see the big picture what happens to the wife and kids. Stop defending yourselves and start saying your sorry to the people you really hurt.

    I am very upset with the fact that everyone is trying to defend themselves withn this affair, but not once thought about his wife and kids. When they were in this so called affair did they stop to think what his wife and kids would feel? Did any stop to say hey it's not fair to them. For Hunter's girlfriend to be up on stage giving her side did she ever say Oh by the way Mrs. Edwards I am sorry for all the pain my girlfriend caused. I am so upset becasue these people did not stop to think about her or the kids. Now a child is involved why bring a child into the situation when you not even sure if he is gonna leave to be with you. He made prior commitments with his wife and he should value that alone. I feel for the wife and kids that are involved with this whole and and could care less for the two who started this mess. Never thought about who was doing whom or who was having sex with other people, because if you were faithful then this would have never happened. I hope they all gets AIDS tested and checked.

    Why is everyone in such an uproar about a politician screwing around, don't you people get it, we all are and have been getting screwed for so long that when a politician gets his jollies, we cast him or her as "OH MY GAWD, O HE/SHE DIDN'T". We are so worried and judgemental that we are letting beaurocrats and all other aholes divert aour attention to the real crap that going around all of us, HEY AMERICA, WE ARE ALL GETING SCREWED.

    A final thought :if democrats are serious about staying in power:stop whining and manage to make hypocrisy a felony,that would definitly deprive 80% of the conservatives of their voting rights...good luck.....

    JOHN EDWARDS children probably already hate the other woman if they know about her, making their mommy go thru all that stress and sadness. I GUARANTEE YOU THEY WILL LEARN TO FORGIVE THEIR FATHER BECAUSE HE IS THEIR FATHER. BUT THE OTHER WOMAN WILL ALWAYS BE THE OTHER WOMAN WITHOUT A NAME. HER CHILD WILL ALWAYS BE A REMINDER OF THE HURT THEIR MOTHER WENT THROUGH. IF THE OTHER WOMAN DID NOT CARE WHAT HER DAUGHTER WAS GOING TO GO THROUGH, WHY SHOULD EDWARDS CHILDREN. .

  • Posted By: minni @ 08/12/2008 2:37:02 AM

    John Edward was probably felling OLD , he thought she was free. His intention was never to leave his wife, and I do not believe he loves the other woman . Like he said he did not think he was going to get caight. Her plan was for him to get caught hoping to take him away from his wife. It does not matter if she was 18, 42 or 50 years old the other woman knew it was wrong. The fact that she got pregnant at her age shows her EVIL INTENT. John Edwards will have to pay thru his nose and I HOPE HE WILL NEVER MARRY THAT OTHER WOMAN. EDWARDS will come to his sense and realize that he was TRAPPED and it cost him his political life. WOMEN that hate the wives and call them ugly names because they forgive their husband, they either went through that and they were left for another woman, or their father left their mother for another woman and they have a serios problem. This wives are VICTIMS and the husbands are the abusers. Anyway when a husband leaves a wife for another woman he is already showing you what he will do to you. Some women are not happy or have never been happy and do not like for someone else to be happy. eDWARDS WILL PAY FOR THIS FOR THE REST OF HIS WIVES LIFE AND HE WILL LEARN TO hate the other woman, which is good . PRAYER FOR MRS. JOHN EDWARDS, GOD BLESS HER WITH A HEALTHY LONG LIFE. I BELIEVE IN MIRACLES.

    Posted by: Gardensprite @ 08/11/2008 10:45 PMWhy are we surprised?! This is just one more democrat doing what they have always done. Name one contender or Pres. that has not had to feed his ego and got caught, then tries the false remorse tacticts to win back the hearts of the idiots that still want to believe them. The dutiful wife is either a saint who truely loves her filandering spouse, or stays in the ridiculas fish bowl for the sick attention and lifestyle, feigning forgiveness. It's the same 'ole all over again. It makes the moral American want to gag, and don't even get me started on what a travesty and insult it is to what should be the most respected office in our country and world.

    • Posted By: 21stCent @ 08/12/2008 2:15:22 AM

      One more Democrat? Puhleese!!!! Gingrich,Bennett,Foley,Limbaugh and.....do you have any idea how John McCain conducted himself during his first marraige.?Cheating on your spouse,gambling,addiction ....you name it.....human fraility is a member ALL political parties.

  • Posted By: lucatmiami @ 08/12/2008 2:14:40 AM

    how depraved and disgusting,if at least he had the decency to give oral sex to another man in a public restroom !!!!

  • Posted By: benbrennabu @ 08/10/2008 8:47:40 AM

    If Edwards is to be damned in the media , then to be fair all these news outlets should also investigate the affair McCain had while he was still married to his wife - who had been in an accident. If the political career of one is over - why not the other? If it is political fodder for a Democrat why is there a cover up for the Republican.

    • Posted By: loriw @ 08/10/2008 7:27:39 PM

      What McCain did was wrong (have the affair) but I don't recall that he compounded the problem by lying about it to the American people.

      • Posted By: sjpersonal @ 08/11/2008 11:27:39 AM

        Was he ever asked?

        • Posted By: loriw @ 08/11/2008 7:48:21 PM

          likely yes but I can't say for certain.

          • Posted By: elizabethpaige @ 08/12/2008 2:12:32 AM

            Well, you best get to McCain PDQ and ask him because you need to know. Being moral integrity personified, you won't want to inadvertently vote for an adulterer AND a liar. Heaven forbid.

  • Posted By: minni @ 08/12/2008 2:08:32 AM

    When JOHN EDWARDS met that new age spiritualist witch, she made a voodoo doll of J Edwards, he is starting to be her puppet. He does not even know that yet.

  • Posted By: momintexas @ 08/10/2008 9:28:15 AM

    I've got another tu quoque for you, benbrennabu - why did the MSM install a code of silence around a presidential candidate affair story with sources and witnesses and print a front page "expose" on an old, unsourced, debunked report of a McCain lobbyist "affair"?

    This "McCain did it, too" whining is something my kids try to pull on me. I alway tell my kids that, "It is immaterial what anyone else did yesterday, today or tomorrow. We are talking about you right now and what you did and what you did was wrong. You need to take responsiblity for what you did and the consequences are....." I would tell the same thing to Edwards. No one else's bad actions excuse yours.

    • Posted By: ~Genevieve @ 08/10/2008 3:28:43 PM

      First, I'm not aware that Edwards ever stated, "McCain did it too".

      Second, the real question is, does one's intimate relations qualify or disqualify them from seeking public office? Or any job? Or is this just about the American culture that (shamefully) thrives on an obsession with other people...while we are passing judgment on them, we feel a mite better about our own sins?

      • Posted By: loriw @ 08/10/2008 7:24:42 PM

        When you run for any office you are taking responsibility for other's welfare into your own hands because you make policy decisions that govern theirs. So elected officials should have the highest moral standards. If they can not keep committments and speak the truth to those they have pledged their love to then how can we trust them to make good decsions for us when we are total strangers to them. It goes to their integrity, ability to hold to committments, self control and moral fiber.

        • Posted By: elizabethpaige @ 08/12/2008 2:03:27 AM

          Stop your endless moralizing. you dried up old prune.

      Wow, were your kids having affaris too? That's such a coincidence.

      I guess it pays to talk to your kids early and often about the gossip of the rich and famious.

    My fellowbloggers....Are ya'll following the HOTTEST HUSSEIN QUESTION?????????

    The question of Hussein's Certificate Of Live Birth (COLB)........if not you are behind on your Fact Checking. Seems quite a few people have opinions. Look at the results of a Google..................

    ................Results 1 - 10 of about 482,000 for obama birth certificate........................482,000.........that is a BUNCH of opinions. I know most of ya'll are.....TOO LAZY or TOO SCARED....to look yourself.....so HolyRoller will give a helping hand. Here is a very recent "Israeli Insider" report.....................

    Claim: Obama's "birth certificate" forged with sister Maya's original
    By Israel Insider staff August 5, 2008

    Independent analysts, working separately, claim to have discovered that the original Hawaiian Certificate of Live Birth used in the fabrication of the Barack Obama "birth certificate" belongs to the Presidential candidate's younger half-sister, Maya.

    Examining the high resolution image originally posted by the "Daily Kos" left-wing blog and subsequently claimed as authentic by the campaign, and posted in lower resolution on the campaign official "Fight the Smears" website, at least two analysts have been able to independently discern the name "Maya Kassandra Soetoro" from artifacts left behind in the process of forging a new fake document for Barack from an image of Maya's original document. Additional confirmatory information, such as her birthday and the nationality of her father have also been resurrected. A full report documenting all details is to be published in the coming days. Israel Insider has not yet seen proof that would validate the claim.

    The dramatic claim comes just a day after a forensic specialist, posting on the Texas Darlin blog under the name Techdude (his real name is known to Israel Insider), announced the discovery of the identity of the original owner of the COLB document used in the forgery but would initially only indicate that it was a woman born in the 1970's. However, he provided enough clues to enable another graphic specialist (screen name KG) to independently reproduce the incriminating evidence. (Techdude had said that he wanted to give the guilty parties time to confess to the forgery, but also to allow independent confirmation of his discovery. He even offered to pay for a trip to Vegas to the first person to discover the name and detail the method by which it was discovered.

    Ya'll need to keep your eyes open. Is this why Barry is in Hawaii??? Wonder when the Nation Enquirer is gonna break this???

    NOBAMA!!!

      In most (if not all) states, birth records are public information. Go ask for a copy yourself.

  • Posted By: Alamerica @ 08/10/2008 4:06:17 PM

    Since Elizabeth Edwards was aware of the sex scandal in 2006, why did she support John Edwards' campaign in 2007? As a daughter from a decent military family, she must understand the importance of integrity for a leader. To endorse a known conman as a presidential candidate who may mislead the U.S. into a downfall is an indecent proposal. Elizabeth has to repent.

    • Posted By: elizabethpaige @ 08/12/2008 1:58:42 AM

      Pompous piffle. As if decent military guys never cheat. Elizabeth has no need to repent. Go mind your own business.

    • Posted By: rec19724u @ 08/11/2008 3:33:56 PM

      Oh, stop being judgemental, let he who is without sin cast the first stone, the man is human, capable of mistakes, also, explain to me how Mrs. Edwards needs to repent?
      She supported him because she loves him, he made an error in judgement , it's easy to point fingers, I am not condoning what he has done, but it isn't for me to stomp on him, I'm sure he feels bad enough.
      Let this family deal with it however they see fit, the true indecent proposal is judgeing others, that is actually a sin that requires one to repent.

    I truly admire and respect Elizaabeth Edwards. I always have. Leave Jon alone. He will suffer more by his own actions, than anything else you could do to him. Karma is painful but necessary.

  • Posted By: TuNnL @ 08/12/2008 1:50:31 AM

    Wow, Rielle Hunter sounds like she could found her own branch of Scientology! The fact that John Edwards didn't just cast her off as a crazy freak leads me to believe that there still is something between them. The question is: what is it? Do they still have feelings for each other? Or is he the father of her 5-month-old daughter?

    At her age, she can't be so naïve to believe that this will all blow over. Both the man the tabloids say is young Frances Hunter's father, and the one who claims to be, are married men. Rielle's sister says that lies continue to abound. The only other explanation is she's waitng for a tell-all book offer. In that case, she should hurry before this entire fiasco becomes irrelevant.

    Truly a shame. The Union I'm a member of endorsed John Edwards. He talked a good game, but didn't
    get the primary votes. The problem with the limelight is that it fools many into believing it to be the spotlight.
    Nearly everyone plays a role when they are in the spotlight, betraying who they were and should have
    remained.
