John Edwards admits to having an affair while his wife had cancer!

[DateDoc]

WASHINGTON - Former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards on Friday admitted to an extramarital affair while his wife was battling cancer. He denied fathering the woman's daughter. Edwards told ABC News that he lied repeatedly about the affair with 42-year-old Rielle Hunter but said that he didn't love her.

He said he has not taken a paternity test but knows he isn't the father because of the timing of the affair and the birth.

ABC said a former Edwards campaign staffer claims he is the father, not Edwards.

great day for news

[TubeTitans_SusieQ]

nice! good job

[fris]

he should have just went to thailand

[Tom_PM]

So far everyone I've seen commenting about it on TV have presumed his wife didn't know about it until today as well. No idea if it's in fact true, but we sure do like the dramas more if it hurts someone while they're already down.

[directfiesta]

Couldn't he have done it with boys or pages like it should be ...????

[GrouchyAdmin]

If John Edwards can get some pussy on the side, anyone can.

[StickyGreen]

a member of the Council on Foreign Relations LIED??? No way!!!

[hypedough]

Dude this is shocking.

[Tom_PM]

Ah, so now it turns out his wife and other members of his family had already known about it for a couple of years. The talking heads that wanted to say "poor elizabeth, how could he lie to her all this time" can just find something else to say.

I wonder if baddog still wishes he was the Democratic nominee?

What difference does it make if he had an affair or not? Ever hear of JFK? Clinton? LBJ?

[TheSenator]

I would still vote for him.

Clinton almost lost because of his bimbo problems, he got lucky because there was no proof, just accusation.

If he had fathered another woman's child or had an affair while his wife was being treated for cancer there's no way he'd have ever been elected president.

I'm just wondering if you'd be willing to admit that now, in light of this, the democrats are better off with Obama as the nominee rather than Edwards.

have you checked out baddogs hosting page? he is a "SEO host" with a PR3, he hangs out with a fat ass photographer / loser and pays girls to stand in photos with him.

who fucking cares what he has to say he is useless.

[tony286]

Hey at least with Democrats its woman. lol Im very disappointed in him, I liked him alot. I dont care he fucked around and we dont know what type of arrangement he and his wife had. But he now gave so much ammunition to those right wing scumbags.

[StickyGreen]

When are you people ever going to stop with the back and forth bickering between Republicans and Democrats? That is exactly what they want, and you are feeding right into their illusion, continuing to keep our country divided and distracted by irrelevant bullshit.

PR is worth about as much as meta tags these days. Have you looked at this?

That fat ass photographer is one of the best photographers in the biz, and isn't hurting for work last time I checked....even though he is kind of a dick sometimes.

The picture thing is a little creepy (although I never heard before that he pays the people to pose) but how does any of that factor into a political discussion between an Edwards supporter who says he's going to now vote for McCain and an Obama supporter who would've voted for McCain had Hillary won the nomination?

Edwards fathered another woman's child?

Well that's the accusation, but there's no proof.

Thing is, the fact that he put his dick in another woman means that he could have...so does the fact that he's less fertile make what he did any less bad?

The thing that really irritates me is doing it while your wife is being treated for cancer. That's pretty fucked up.


Funny how it doesn't bother you though...but if it was Obama you'd be all over this like white on rice. This country's politics are so polarized it's ridiculous, seems like nobody ever changes their mind.

That's an amazing ability you have. Can you tell me what else does or does not bother me?

I can't stand him but seriously big fucking deal...

Who cares?

I can't speak for anyone else, but I'd still vote for Edwards in a heartbeat.

What difference does it make who he's porking? That's between him, his wife and whoever else is/was directly involved.

Having said that, I'm fully aware that there's no shortage of hand-wringing old ladies in this country who get all worked up about this sort of nonsense.

It's for that reason that I'm glad Obama will be the Democratic choice in November.

[Rodent]

So whens he taking a paternity test lol

[V_RocKs]

Shit happens... Like no one on GFY has fucked a hooker.

. . . or cheated on their wife.

[pocketkangaroo]

There is no way the kid isn't his.

[clickyoucutie]

Yeah his wife knew about it already, so I really don't care. At least he told her. It is messed up though

Actually, it makes it a lot more understandable.

Sex is one of the main ways for people to relieve stress. When his wife had cancer, he undoubtedly was extremely worried, and probably spent most of the time he was with her supporting her. At the same time, his wife probably wasn't able to support and comfort him as much as she normally did, meaning he not only suffered from immense stress, but also lacked a good way to relieve it.

Caring for sick loved ones is hard. It's even harder if there's nobody to care for you. That's why it's very common for people to cheat if their partner is sick, even if they care about their partner more than anything.

[Trixie]

Yawn.

So nobody's business. It annoys me when the media tries to act like they/we feel sorry for his cancer-stricken wife when if they really did? They'd leave it alone. Their business, not ours; who the fuck cares?

He said he's more than happy to take a paternity test and another guy has already stepped up to say that the kid is his.

SO TRUE.

Libertine = brains.

[PlugRush Sascha]

Haha. Fucked.

[tony286]

Also Im reading this happened in 2006 and he told his wife. They made it sound like it happened yesterday. Like I also said, you never know what kind of arrangements couples have.

[Snake Doctor]

All I'm saying, is that it's a good thing Edwards wasn't the nominee because it would have killed any chance of a democrat winning the white house in November.

Die-hard democrats would have still voted for him, die-hard republicans wouldn't have voted for him no matter what, and the people in the middle tend to be swayed by shit like this.

I think the same thing could have happened to Hillary, albeit it would have been her getting the flack for anything Bill has done since the last time anyone did serious digging into his life.

That's just the way it is these days in politics, whether it's right or not, if you're applying for a job that only 42 people in the history of the country have held, you get held to a higher standard.

Die hard republicans are too pissed off that they didn't get a REAL conservative as the nominee. They think McCain is the anti-Christ. I troll a lot of conservative Christian boards to entertain myself by bashing bible thumpers and i can tell you right now, they are demoralized and lost. Most of them are saying they aren't going to vote for anyone, Others are going to write in super right wing nuts like Randall Terry or Alan Keyes.

Since the Terri Schiavo thing, they haven't been the same. They used that as a means of testing their power and they failed miserably. That poor woman meant nothing to them except a symbol for their fucking agenda. Unless someone 'take out' Obama, and there HAVE been threats, he is going to be our next president. No Karl Rove this time.

she fucked the whole campaign office?

Funny, I never realized he was a Democrat or past President.

You probably fail logic tests, don't you?

They should be demoralized. They managed to hold onto power for a long time with minority positions on most issues. That's pretty unheard of.
They managed to do it by polarizing the country with wedge issues like gay marriage and what have you, but it was only a matter of time before their house of cards came tumbling down.

Totally. Everyone just assumes that non-monogamy is not an option, which is especially unfair/ridiculous considering the lifestyle of people who are constantly on the road. It's like the wife is always forced into the role of being a "victim" of her husband's cheating; she's never allowed to be like, "so what? You think I didn't know and that fucking other people is the worst thing that could happen in a marriage?"

[Brujah]

McCain cheated too. I hope they keep focusing on Edwards affair so that they can keep bringing up McCain's affairs too. Might be great for Obama.

[Just Mike]

the chick he had the affair with is ugly
