John Edwards Admits He is Rielle Hunter’s Baby Daddy
Former presidential hopeful John Edwards has finally admitted he is the father of former staffer Rielle Hunter’s 2-year-old daughter. Not that we haven’t already known that for the past two years. I mean, please, how stupid does this guy think the American public is?
After all, we were smart enough not to elect his lying, cheating ass to the highest office in the land.

In a press statement released Thursday, John Edwards admitted he is the father of Frances Quinn Hunter, daughter of former Edwards staffer Rielle Hunter. Edwards only admitted to the actual affair with Hunter after being hounded by the tabloids for months after his failed presidential bid. Before that, he denied he cheated on wife Elizabeth Edwards repeatedly, over and over again. The same way he denied fathering a child with his mistress, repeatedly and with fervent denial.
In other words, John Edwards apparently has a serious problem with the truth, even when it is shoved forcefully in his face. Even lamer, Edwards didn’t even bother to represent himself to the public in finally admitting to being the baby daddy. No, instead he issues a press statement and sends one of his buddies out to talk to the media about all the bullshit that’s spewed out of his mouth over the years. Rather than taking the lumps he deserves in the public eye, he subjected Harrison Hickman, his personal advisor, to suffer the pointed questions of the media on his behalf.
If John Edwards thinks hiding behind his buddy to try to tone down the media frenzy is going to help, he’s sorely wrong. Just wait until his former staffer Andrew Young appears for his ABC News interview next week. You know, the guy who posed as the father of Rielle Hunter’s baby on Edwards behalf and then turned on him to spill the beans about the affair? Yeah, we’re thinking it’s not going to be pretty…
We also can’t wait to hear the eventual findings of the federal grand jury investigating John Edwards for possibly paying hush money to Rielle Hunter out of his campaign funds to keep the affair (and resulting baby) quiet. Talk about ruining your whole life for a piece of tail. Who knew John Edwards and Tiger Woods had so much in common? Maybe Edwards could join Woods for some sex rehab therapy and they can cry on each other’s shoulders about the horror of actually having to try to be faithful to the woman you married and had kids with. We know that must just be terrible!
