Breaking news today that John Edwards is admitting that he lied all through his Presidential campaign when he said, over and over again, that he did not have an affair with a young woman, Rielle Hunter, a filmmaker when the National Enquirer first accused him in October. She has since had a female baby that he denies is his child; but, there supposedly has been no paternity testing to prove or deny that claim. Another man has said that he is the father of the child; a man by the name of, Andrew Young. He was a former campaign aide. The child was born in February of this year…the affair began in 2006…but he doesn’t say for sure when it ended…just that the affair ended too soon for the child to be his.
John Edwards’ wife Elisabeth has fought and battled cancer for years…she was in remission…however, she has now been diagnosed with a form of cancer that is incurable. I remember an interview, that she did at the time that it was announced she had incurable cancer…and i thought…how strong she was…how composed. Now to think that she had to also deal with the knowledge of her husband’s affair during that time…just makes me realize how much stronger she was, than anyone knew. It also makes me wonder how he thought he would be able to support his wife during her battle, run for President, all the while knowing that this affair could harm his family and come out in the press. How was Elisabeth able to handle the difficulty of the disease as well as the emotional trauma of the affair?
It was said that as recently as two weeks ago, he was still denying an affair with this woman…and yet, a month ago he had a meeting with her; an now he admits the affair.
That can only mean one thing in my mind; somewhere, someone has proof that can’t be denied. There will be an investigation, i am sure, about whether she was paid hush money as she denied the affair at one point as well. If it can be proven that he paid her money to keep it quiet…there will be an even bigger news story here. (more…)
