I feel you pain. journalism is dead.

on topic, love all the catty comments below. must be how the dnc plans to sweep this away, attack her, even tho he jumped her on day one, all while his wife has cancer, what a pillar of the party.

I feel you pain

Sorry, I couldn't help myself. No, you're not a journalist. But you are speaking badly of them! Your words are what we mean by

" the POT calling the Kettle black"!! LOL!!!

ooh, you got me, a typo on a message board.... the shame is too much.

cmpn,

I sort of agree, but many people are stating how they are both sleaze. If the DNC want's to do anything good, they need to keep him away from any ticket he would think of running on. For that matter keep him away from any convention, fundraiser, gathering etc. But what do I care. I hope they do show their true face, use any means to gain power. That's all it is to any politician in the DNC, power.

Maybe a little research will help remind you that McCain started his relationship with his current wife while still married to his first wife. But, alas, that bit of information doesn't fit into your democratic slandering. I presume what you're really saying is it's ok to have an affair and "act like an alley cat", just not while ACTIVELY campaigning for the presidential office. Or maybe you're just saying it's acceptable behavior for Republicans, but not for Democrats.

Low class piece of SHlT...

Give new meaning to the term gold digging slut.

They deserve each other, they are both sleazebags. These are not the kind of people we should be putting up on a pedestal, let alone publicizing her provocative pictures or his long time, 2 faced-denial of his affair.

I don't know why I am shocked at how sleazy a person can be. Rielle Hunter aka Lisa Hunter (was married to Boulder, CO district attorney's son) aka Lisa Druck (I guess she thinks she sounds more exotic with a unique name) looks the part of a low class tart in these pictures. I will say that these pictures show the miracles of what a great make-up artist can achieve because usually she is dog ugly.....in these shots she is somewhat of an attractive low class tart.

This gal has a lot of nerve when talking about the wrath of Elizabeth. Like that behavior is out of line. What would most women do when they find their POS husband is having an affair with another POS slut.

Poor Elizabeth....I so hope you have really seen the light that John didn't deserve you. I also hope you are sitting back and enjoying these two idiots (John and Rielle) reveal to the world what low class, unethical frauds they are.

Oh, now that's rich. Typical Republican blaming lose morals on the Democrats again?

Who are you, Newt Gingrich? The same Newtie that wanted the Dems castrated while he cheated on his wife with a congressional aide?

Republicans are nothing but a bunch of one-sided cult members.

all of the pugs aside I am old fashioned enough to call her a home wrecker.

She knew that he was married but had an affair and a child and now wants to be the victim in this tragedy

I think this woman is the one who should be labled with "the wrath of" . Her description of Elizabeth is offensive and probably projection. I think Elizabeth Edwards is the one who felt the wrath of her husband's mistress. Disgusting!

I guess McCain should have lied about the affair and then tried to tell us that his children with Cindy are really those of his campaign mananger.

Both McCain and Gingerich where seperating from their wives when they had their affairs and did not use their current wives for political gain.

Rielle Hunter, using her own daughter with her in a soft porn photograph, for GQ..

Very admirable, and one piece of trash. I feel sorry for this child.

Who's child is it anyway? Hers or His?---she seems very distant from this little girl, in an observation from the picture.

The child is used as a "Prop".

Ok, let's put the party bashing aside....when it comes to cheating, Republicans and Democrats (as well as other party's members) are both equally disgusting. We could all list a slew of both Reps and Dems (mostly, if not all, men, I might add) who are guilty of this particular transgression. Interestingly enough, there is another article out there today about how people in positions of power are the best liars.

If Edwards was indeed "emasculated" by his wife I don't think Hunter is doing him any favors with her commentary. I mean, c'mon, how masculine can it be to have your mistress come running to your defense after your pitiful affair comes to light? She's not getting any brownie points for either herself or Edwards.

Speaking of cheating, what ever happened to all that data the DC Madam had. She was suicided, yet am sure someone has the information (perhaps those who killed her?).

BTW, any woman who thinks Edwards is hot probably had a plan to entrap him. He got what he deserves.

I want to know what ever happened to "decent" moral women who sstayed away from MARRIED MEN?!!! These women pain me, especially when they appear to be the victim here! What a bunch of crap!!! She knew that Edwards was married, hello? He is a public figure, his wife and kids were displayed all over the media hundreds of times! I wonder what she will do when she gets married and a floozie messes with her husband? Not a damn thing!!!!!

These women are a bunch of gold-diggin hoes, and funny thing too - THE MARRIED MEN HARDLY EVER GO TO THESE WOMEN TO LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER!!! Get a life floozies and stop messing with married men!!! Hey, I am single and I am disgusted with these women, they need to learn to say NO to these advances, maybe that'll show these married men!

Ok, let's put the party bashing aside....when it comes to cheating, Republicans and Democrats (as well as other party's members) are both equally disgusting

False. That's exactly the point the media want you to believe.

Not false at all.

Recent cheaters include (in no particular order):

John Ensign (R)

Mark Sanford (R)

James McGreevey (D)

Jim Gibbons (R)

Newt Gingrich (R)

David Paterson (D)

Bob Livingston (R)

Eliot Spitzer (D)

Then of course there are lots of others who have "borderline" cheating behavior.

Spin it however you want. Neither party has a corner on corruption. They are both bad. Defending one while vilifying the other just makes you a hypocrite.

And if you want to talk "pervasiveness, the history and sheer historical volume of corruption" we could spend years just talking specifically about the previous administration and their 8 years of corruption.

The following book (link) provides a factual chronology of the deep corruption within the democrat party. Remember, Democrfats are the party of Slavery, atrocities against Native Americans, resisting Civil Rights, abortion on Demand.

This is incorrect. Just more spin by defenders of the corrupt.

White (hu)men(s) are, and always have been the "party of slavery, atrocities against Native Americans, resisting Civil Rights". Abortion is a women's right issue.

One would love to see them fly off into the sunset and never be heard from again but as is usually the case, they will likely be headlines again when he dumps her for getting a pimple and moves on to the next "love of his life".

But in truth, I love it when garbage finds garbage.

Perunap, don't mistake my post as some sort of deflection from the level of slime trailed by breck blond slug Edwards!! He's among the lowest forms of life for knocking up this tramp while his wife battled terminal cancer. I was simply pointing out that low life let the little head guide the big one type of sleaze is a bipartisan affliction!! Trying to ignore the offenses of one's jersey won't cut it with me!! They're all scum if they cheat, but worse when their are young children in a marriage (Sanford or a wife battling the bast*rd cancer (Edwards) !!!

Cancer is a battlefield and my thoughts are with Elizabeth in the hopes that she can have a quality of life for her life. When I think of her I see her as having saved many women who went in for the test because of her. We can't know how many women she may have saved.

When I think John or whats-her-name, I think two flavors-of-the-month.

It is what we do with our lives no matter how long we live that holds value. Do we make a difference? Certainly the shallowest among us cannot capture Elizabeth's depth so they should not try. I think of my loved one if they were struggling with the greatest battle of their life and my heart breaks for Elizabeth. I hope she can find everything she needs in her family and friends of quality.

Someone corrected the "vary" to "very."

Hunter is a two bit whore and I will not pay any more attention to this home wrecker.

Some women DO NOT PURSUE married men.

Hunter apparently does. KAYCEE - she pursued him. Doesn't make it right but she went after him and his member allowed him to follow her

Perunap, your double standard is pretty obvious too.

Just keep spinning. Eventually you'll get dizzy. You've already got a good start on it.

To Perunap You comments are insightful, but I think she was not exploited, she pursued him from day one. That is why I think they deserve each other. They are both opportunistic, selfish, bottom feeders. I am SOOOOOO glad the Edwards never made it in the Presidential campaigns. He is not worthy, any way, shape or form, to represent the Presidency of the United States. I think this subject is coming up right now as to try and deflect the Public from the more important subject of the health care disaster. It's not working.

Hey Edwards! Don't be a fool. Vulcanize your tool!

Guess the author of the story failed to mention that although did not get "big bucks" from this article, she already got "big bucks" from Edwards. Her motivation for this story was for it to come out that although Edwards wanted her to have an abortion, she choose not. Do you know where this is going? She will be the new darling of the anti-abortion zealots. They can throw out the RoevWade lady now.

She and Edwards deserve each other.

for every woman you might think of as a "home wrecker", there are many more men who, for sure, went out LOOKING for that "wrecking ball"!

is all comes from that devil named: CHEATING.

Why is your nickname fire letterman?

No wait! Let me guess......

I don't condone cheating by either sex, but it takes two to tango sweet cheeks.

Read the article and see how they met. "Oh Johnny you're soooo sexy OMG!!"

What a skank (divorced at that....wonder why?).

KayCee-1390629

Amen to that KayCee! I too am very tired of the "victims". Tigers ho's said the same thing...I've been wronged! Uhhhhh, well duh! You knew what you were getting in to!! There was one of Tiger's women who wanted a personal apology from Tiger for the "horrors" he brought on them.

When you go after a public figure, there are no secrets. Hunter KNEW "Johnny" was married and did it anyway. No victim here!!

They both deserve each other!

Remember.....once a cheater...always a cheater!

Whether John Edwards decided to stay in the race or not was between he and his wife, Rielle. I guess the question was: Should he give up his family, his marriage, the respect of his supporters, his credibility as a decent, honest man, his career, or go off with a manipulative opportunist? If he stay's in this relationship he's even goofier than I thought.

LS / Kaycee

You are soooo correct. All these skanks knew Tiger and "Johnny" were married. Dear Abby has been warning us for years.

But meanwhile the Hunter skank actually has bad words for Elizabeth Edwards.

Elizabeth Edwards is a saint and I wish her all the best.

I heard Edwards called things off with his mistress because she messed up his hair.

Last comment about Lisa Druck 'erImean....Rielle Hunter.

She was sleeping with Jeff Goldblum, the actor, at the same time as Edwards was tagging her and led Goldblum on about being the baby's daddy. She didn't know! I wonder who else is going to pop up?

Be careful what you wish for. Fame is a slippery slope, Lisa! Oh, sorry....Rielle.

Dating this bimbo is like going to the DMV. Take a number and have a seat!

John Edwards, like all Democrats, knew he could be reckless and brazenly dishonest without worry of mainstream media exposure.

Perunap - gee, by your words one might think that Republican politicians like Iowa Senator Larry Craig never existed, or Newt Gingrich, or Tom Delay (R-TX), or Ralph Reed, or Bob Ney (R-OH).

Please don't pretend that you are unaware of the various scandals associated with the above politicians.

...and lets not forget about Richard Nixon, our only President to leave office under threat of removal.

Democrats and Republicans are all part of the same species, people. They all have the same propensity for dishonesty.

...and regarding Edwards, don't you think we have all spent enough time worrying about the infidelities of a second rate politician whose career has been deader than road kill since 2008?

Sorry, that was Idaho Senator, Larry Craig. Iowa had nothing to do with it.

So true, dman. So true.

Let this be a lesson to all politicians. If you lie down with dogs, you get fleas. Or in this case, crabs.

Everyone involved in this so so scuzy. Edwards, Hunter and the Youngs. I hope Edwards goes down with the government investigations. John Edwards you are such a man . . . ha-ha. I hope your kids disown you!

Karma, do your thing on this one.

Married men love to have their cake and eat it too. They are not planning on leaving their wives. If they do they know they will lose much financially and they have too much invested emotionally also. Biologically, men are programmed to have sex as much as possible. I think when sex in the marriage slows down or even stops then they become the most susceptible. Edwards was arrogant. He thought himself 'better' than his cancer stricken wife. He learned well that he wasn't.

I'm sorry landspirit. Perhaps we're not reading the same article?

Who approached who and was gushing over the other? Who was dating two men at the same time, knowing full well they were both married? Who didn't know who the father of her baby was until a paternity test was done?

I don't condone what either did, but it takes two to tango. That's fact, not biology.

Your Bio says, and I quote "I believe in the individual. I cannot judge since who am I to do that?"

You should consider deleting that.

Married men love to have their cake and eat it too.

...and there are women who play that game too. Neither gender nor any political party or religion has a monopoly on amoral behavior.

I'm trying to figure how she can speak on the reactions or knowledge of Mrs. Edwards. She wasn't there, she only knows what she was told. How can she make such statements on hearsay. But we all know that karma is something else.

Really...you got the assessment of this woman right on Jane. The comments she makes about Elizabeth Edwards are the most telling of her ongoing jealousy, but nothing shows what a sleaze she is than the suggestive pictures. This one is not only stupid, but has no class at all. If this is what Edwards prefers, then it's good that it all came out BEFORE he got elected rather than after. The two of them deserve each other.

I liked the "he would never lie to me" part. The relationship was built on a lie. Now she wants to make him out to be a pillar of society. LOL

Perunap.....are you kidding? Why are you bringing politics into this? We could go toe to toe on what party is more amoral when it comes to extra marital affairs.....McCain ring a recent bell?!?!?

For gosh sakes can you have a conversation without bringing up what party someone is?

Amoral behavior is just that amoral behavior....it is an individual choice....not a party choice.

....and he really loves her..? Uh yeah ok.

This clown wanted her to have an abortion? That says a lot for his integrity (big fat not), but it also tells me she was not doing anything to prevent pregnancy.

The fact is he got caught screwing around on his wife. If he had not gotten caught, he would STILL be screwing around on his wife. The same goes for every other jerk out there that women believe. Tiger Woods is a good example. He made his little apology speech, but the TRUTH is, he would still be with his tramps had he not gotten busted.

And a Republican has never cheated on his wife, right?

Sorry, don't mean to clutter the issue with facts.

Thanks, Becky, I thought i was going to have to be the first one to doubt that Edwards is still in love with her.....if he was still in love with her, he'd have shacked up with her by now and be taking the kid around town and be rushing his divorce.

Wow Perunap - you speak with a very broad stroke without checking to see if you have pain on your brush....need to google the ORIGINAL Mrs. McCain (fairly current photo as well) not long after her crippling accident - John left her and the kids for the younger, very rich, connected, current Mrs. McCain. PS - He was involved with the current Mrs. McCain will still married to the original Mrs. McCain.

Like Janeinthisworld - Sorry, don't mean to clutter the issue with facts.

I agree Jane 100% Also, the media needs to STOP making these women out of victims!!! BTW, John Edwards is NOT HOT!!! He looks like a nerdy school boy to me! Women, stop going after these married men, especially when you KNOW that they are married!!!!!! As for these married men being in love with these women! HA! Have you ever known married men to go straight to these floozies when the secret gets out??NO! As a matter of fact, these married men resent them and can no longer trust them - so, where does this leave these women? OUT IN THE COLD!! Bunch of morons!

KayCee, even with that $400 haircut he doesn't look hot??

You must be very happy in that fantasy land you've woven for yourself. Here's another "fact filled" thread I'm sure you support:

Evidence Dinosaurs Lived with Men

This is about how an unmarried woman behaved like a hooker and hit on a known married man with a wife (going through Cancer Treatment at the time) and family. Who gives a rip about POLITICAL AFFILIATION? Why do you idiot bloggers make this a forum for your NASTY COMMENTS about your Political Viewpoints and Biases when it is a Human Issue, Period? PLEASE go to the appropriate Facebook and Twitter Political Pages to voice your treasonous statements and leave Newsvine for the comments on the articles to which they apply!

This makes Elizabeth Appear Full of Grace, motherhood and Professionalism. She can hold her head high knowing that she made right choices and has involved her children in the life of their half sister. If that isn't the epitome of Honesty, Valor, Grace and Brevity I do not know what is. She is better off without her Philandering Husband and the mistress can live in the fantasy world she chooses because when it comes down to realilty, Edwards' children will always come first in his life for the rest of his life when he wakes up and finds that Elizabeth is gone.

Perunap - Pretty well stated there.

Jane - How can you even try to defend Edwards?

KayCee-1390629

I want to know what ever happened to "decent" moral women who sstayed away from MARRIED MEN?!!!

I want to know whatever happened to "descent" moral men who don't cheat on their wives?

This goes both ways. It's not a woman thing, or a man thing for that matter... It's lousy human being thing.

These women pain me...

Your misogynistic slant pains me (and if you are female, you don't have to be male to be a misogynist. There are plenty of women hating women that just buy the social bulls@#t.

These women are a bunch of gold-diggin hoes... Blah, blah, blah, the-rest-isn't-worth-repeating, etc...

Oh good lord... Whatta rant. No really. I mean it... Nice one.

Now, personally I think this woman is a common $hit-useless a human being. So is Edwards, but defining fault in part based on gender is stupid.

I'm not defending Edwards. Not at all. He's a cheating skank and so is his girlfriend. I'm only saying that throughout history politics has been fraught with self-serving players of all political groups who lived by their own rules because they thought the standard rules for the general population didn't apply to them. Instead of asking me why I would defend Edwards (which I'm not) you should ask Perunap why he is defending the cheating skank McCain (who had several affairs on wife #1).

It's especially amusing that he describes the cheating skank McCain as "heroic, yet admittedly flawed" while Edwards has exhibited a "brazen pattern of sleaze, lies, betrayal and deceit during a national presidential bid". It reeks of double standard. Basically he's saying if its my guy who cheating, then its okay, but no passes for anyone on the other side. If you can't see how obvious that is, then, Kevin, I'd say you weren't thinking.

And I guess my problem is the lengths Edwards went to, to try and hide the affair and baby.

Give me a break! What politician (or person in general) hasn't tried to hide their affair and the subsequent consequences of it? How many politicians have fathered children whom we never knew if they were the father or not? Paternity tests haven't been around that long. I'm just sayin' that representatives of all parties can become corrupt. Perunap is defending his guys and vilifying the others, when his guys are just as guilty.

John Edwards was always a sleaze. Do you understand how he became a multi, multi millionare? The news about this affair and baby just helped many realize what a lying power hungry ego maniac he is.

Jane,

Did McCain try to hide his affairs during the campaign? Did he let his campaign manager take blame for his faults?

So you're going to defend a cheater too? Are you trying to say that McCains version of cheating is less skanky than Edwards? Does it matter?

I don't think it matters what the conditions are when a politician cheats. A cheater is a cheater and the lies generated from cheating are still lies. Edwards lied. McCain lied. Clinton lied. Gingrich lied. Spitzer lied. Sanford lied. (See the pattern here? A whole lot of that "lying power hungry ego maniac" stuff you were talking about.) I believe, on a personal level, that betraying your partner is one of the worst things you can do and is a serious character flaw.

Let me make it very clear: THEY ARE BOTH SKANKS! One has managed to salvage his political career. Maybe the other will as well, there is a long history of cheating politicians who manage to stay in politics. Time will tell.

I don't believe anyone is "defending" Edwards and his behavior...deplorable, BTW. But Hunter knew Edwards was married and continued on this affair anyway and now wants to play the victim!! Uh, get over it!

As for those bashing the Democrats...well, let's see, would you like a list of Republicans? Mark Sanford anyone???? It doesn't matter if McCain was running for an office or not...he did it!! You're trying to make it apples and oranges, it's not. An affair is an affair, is an affair! It all hurts!

I know you will disagree but, yes, all of them cheating are wrong. In the case of peple like McCain and Sanford, that is probably the worst they have done. People like Edwards and Spizter, it's just the tip of the iceberg.

Sanford lied at first, yes I agree as anyone would as a reaction. But he did come out and admit it pretty quickly. McCain and his first wife (who did support him for president) where allready at the point of separation when he started cheating did not try to hide it for very long.

Pernup

Couldn't agree with you more. Some here are trying to compare an affair to an affair. I think you and I are trying to compare the people.

I have one question for Perunap.....is that you Rush?

I can't imagine anyone more mislead, misinformed, and full of uninteresting tirades.

You are the ones comparing affairs. I think they are all pretty bad. But it's perfectly forgivable for your favored politicians to go around cheating. I've got it, you've made it clear. Your Reps can be corrupt, but not the Dems.

What's that smell? Oh, its that stink of double standard! I think Perunap gave you 2nd hand stink, Kevin. Good luck getting that hypocrisy off.

I agree with Kaycee

John Edwards IS NOT HOT.

My preference is for the bad boys Sean Penn and Nic Cage.

Perunap is defending his guys and vilifying the others, when his guys are just as guilty.

Jane, Perunap is just upset that John Edwards wasn't engaging is washroom stall sex with anonymous males like a good Republican.

Why couldn't he emulate the illustrious Senator Larry Craig, the toe-tapping Republican from the great State of Idaho?

Or be like former Republican Representative from Florida, Mark Foley, and send teenage pages suggestive e-mails and letters?

Oh, those dirty Democrats, actually cheating with another woman, and one whom they actually knew by name? The horror...

dman

I wouldn't consider Larry Craig or Mark Foley Republicans anymore. But that's my personal thinking.

kevinthinking

You are not thinking too clearly. Edwards is not a good man. But unfortunately for you that does not make democrats all bad men. If Edward's mistress was rich and well connected I guess Edwards would not be so bad any more. The pain and sadness both men caused their wives and families at a very vulnerable time in their lives were both inexcusable. By your logic if a man came up and hacked your family to death, it would be less bad if he had been a war prisoner than if he had not. Previous good moral choices don't make future poor moral choices less immoral. If you go and shoot someone in the head, the jury is not going to take the fact that two days before you helped a woman with heavy groceries as a reason not to convict you of murder.

I wouldn't consider Larry Craig or Mark Foley Republicans anymore. But that's my personal thinking.

It doesn't matter if you don't consider them Republicans, they consider themselves Republicans.

Perunap, you are an apologist who tries to minimize the sins of those you support while attempting to paint the others who've committed the same transgressions as somehow more guilty (without a lot of success I might add).

McCain cheated more than once on his first wife. I would not be surprised if he had cheated on his current wife as well. Sanford also cheated on his wife more than once. (Most men who cheat do cheat more than once.) But hey guys, I'll throw you a bone, I'm willing to bet that his wasn't the first time Edwards cheated either.

Kevinthinking - wow - you and prenup drink from the same cup.

You ask if McCain attempted to hide his affairs?? My man - we lived in a completely different time when society and the media turned their collective cheek - nodoubt McCain was as reckless as Edwards with many mistresses - as well as his drinking - he was legend. As for the original Mrs. McCain - she remains horribly crippled - McCain pays her medical bills. His sons have only fairly recently reacquainted themselves with their father. His war/military history has not a damn thing to do with anything.

It always speaks to character - you have it or you don't - there's no in between. As for these women who become involved with married men - what would you expect - these guys are both 'Johns'. All involved celebrate the same flaw - no character.

My mother always said - don't swim with the bottom fish - all you get is garbage and it don't float to the top - just sinks to the bottom.

I wouldn't consider Larry Craig or Mark Foley Republicans anymore. But that's my personal thinking.

How about South Carolina Governor, Mark Sanford?

Seriously if you get to declare any non-conforming Republican a non-Republican, then why not extend the same courtesy to the Democrats?

The last I heard, all of the individuals are still members of the GOP. Some, such as Mark Sanford are still in office. There hasn't been a ceremony where their sabre is broken over the knee of their commanding office and the Republican badges torn from their uniform.

Like I said, only simple minds like Perunap's can actually believe such a statement, that all Democrats are evil and inherently corrupt and represent a lower moral order than Republicans.

I've given you plenty of examples. Make of them what you will.

I know you will disagree but, yes, all of them cheating are wrong. In the case of peple like McCain and Sanford, that is probably the worst they have done.

Kevin - The word "probably" says it all. You assume that Spitzer & Edwards are guilty of other, monstrous moral offences and you assume that the transgressions of Sanford and McCain are probably the worst things they have done.

I personally like and admire McCain, but just to refresh your memory with regard to Sanford, he disappeared from the Governor's office, telling all concerned that he would be out hiking the Appalachian Trail. In fact, South Carolina's chief executive left the country to meet his soul-mate down in South America.

How is that for accountability and public responsibility?!?

Then when he comes back he embarrasses his wife with talk about this other woman being his "soul mate" and admits that during his marriage he has engaged in questionable contact with other women, which, according to him, did not culminate in sex.

I guess if you are a Republican, this is a-ok. If you are a Democrat, it is sign of the moral degeneracy of your party. I admit that this is one of the finer points of conserative thinking which sometimes eludes me.

I wouldn't consider Larry Craig or Mark Foley Republicans anymore. But that's my personal thinking.

Gee, when is a Republican not a Republican?

When he gets caught!

I saw that. Beyond pathetic. She should be ashamed of herself. I can't get over how trashy those pictures are!

SJB

Yeah, what's up with all those pictures?? Is she trying to show how hot she is and that she is so irresistable, that's why the affair happened? Come on. And with the kid in the pictures!!! Total sleaze.

This women is a prime example of what is wrong today! Her love with "Johnny" will be forever? What about his love and committment to his wife??? She is a home wrecker who went after what she wanted with no regard to any one else. He is an idiot for falling for it. Why are men so quick to think with something other than the brains God gave them. What a whore/tramp. Women like Hunter should burn in hell. I feel sorry for that child. I feel sorry for Elizabeth. If John Edwards was so unhappy he should have had the balls to talk to his wife and end the marriage, not cheat and go behind your wife's back and in this case the nations. What a coward!!! Women who persue marriage men should be made accountable, she should be sued!!!! We need to bring back legislation to sue the tramps who defile the sacrament of marriage for their own selfish gain!!!

Les, tell us how you really feel.

First of all, he is the slime ball, Hunter is just an opportunist. Cheaters always get caught because they are so busy thinking with their other brain that they forget that they have already committed themselves in the eyes of God and family. She's just a homely little sleeze trying to trap a big politician with eyes on the presidency. They are both losers, and I feel so sorry for that little girl. What a bunch of trash she was born into.

becky

She learned well from her lover.

AGREE 100%!

LES-

Elizabeth won in the end...she did not give in to hystrionics, name calling, publicly humiating either of them. Instead she behaved like the true woman of Grace and Love she is. She gave them no attention in public, nor the issue of their sordid affair, she conducted herself with the utmost of Southern Decorum and Polity and has allowed the public to form their own opinions. She looks less stressed, beautiful as ever, a competent Attorney and Policy Advocate for Health Care and a voice for women who are living well with Cancer. No one need feel sorry for her. She can hold her head high when all is said and done for she has done all the right things for and by everyone in her family. She has acted in her and her children's best intersts. There is no sadness there only hope and Grace.

I blame BOTH of them for this mess. It takes TWO TO TANGO.

SJB,

She was just going with the flow. What was that flow? "Excuse me can we have some bottomless shots now? Why would an interview photographer be takeing any shots of her in her bedroom anyway? And Edwards should be put in jail for misappropriating funds. He couldn't even pay for her support with his own money?? No, Johnny's not lying to her.

I'm not defending John Edwards, or "Johnny", as some apparently address him. He's a vapid, morally bankrupt politician, who stands for nothing except self-promotion.

But this woman is just what another person termed her, trailer trash. She is also an unabashed self-promoter who is taking he chance to grab the brass ring. The pictures from her GQ interview are an embarrassment, or should be.

She'll probably get wants she wants out of this, a book deal, maybe a cable TV show and enhanced business prospects. That's the way things work today.

Who does she think she is with her ugly self posing half naked with a bunch of toys?

I've never dated a married man and never thought about dating a married man. But if the sky fell and hell froze over and I let myself get caught up in the nonsense that is dating a married man, I would be so ashamed of myself that not only would I deny the affair 'til the cows came home, I certainly wouldn't allow myself to be photographed, half-naked, with a bunch of toys and a baby on my chest for all the world to see. Since when is being a whore something to be proud of? This trashy slut acts like she accomplished something great.

I saw right through his Southern drawl and plastic-perfect hair. What a loser!

I know where are her pants?!!! Love how she disses on Mrs Edwards. (sarcasm) The wrath of elizabeth is awful. I mean who's not pissed when hubby runs around thinking with the little jonny?

what does this woman want Congratulations you're a whore button?

Kallie - that's awesome.

Kallie, now that's funny, I don't care who you are!!

Kallie,

That made me realize, I think she does!! That was a great one.

I think she is trying to get an invitation to next year's Dancing With the Stars. Johnny will be on next season's The Bachelor.

Priceless - LOL. Quick we need one for John!!!

TexasSeer, it is against the NEWSVINE RULE and the TEN COMMANDMENTS for you to swear. please stop. "Thou shalt not take the NAME of the Lord thy GOD in vain, for the Lord will NOT hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain." swearing is like dropping ugly,icky dead flies in someone elses soup. swearing is worse than passing gas in public. everybody is stuck with the STINK.

fireletterman

I didn't notice anyone swearing.

LOL @ fire Letterman. First of all, I don't see anyone "using the Lawd's name in vain" and you forget, as Americans, we aren't tied to the Ten Commandments.

That OMG could very well mean Oh my Goodness.

:)

Duh.

Agreed! Women fought for years for equals rights (even though I doubt this is exactly what they had in mind) and it works both ways now. No more excuses for these pathetic people. There is nothing to set straight. She knowingly slept with and got knocked up by a married man. Seems pretty cut and dry to me!

Stacey

Although I completely agree with you, I am glad this affair was made public, in as far as we (or I should say most people who didn't allready know) found out what a lyer and sleezeball John Edwards is. He is/was all about power and money. He even used his sick wife for the sympathy vote. To think this man coud have been president!!

I know right, if someone's famous you know they are married even if they lied. It's stupid to get involved with a married man even if you don't consider how wrong it is. Pathetic.

Damn straight! I am sick to death of these women ( and men)whe get involved with people they KNOW are married, and then spout the line "oh they were so mistunderstood"....so in a few years, lets hear about ms. hunter's "wrath" when "Johnny" leaves her for an even younger woman! It is difficult to say who is more pathetic, him for falling for such a 'ho or her for believing the lies of a very experienced liar! Neither one has a freakin' clue!

It takes three to Tango? Elizabeth has known of John's prior infidelities and has stayed with him...so what makes this booty-affair different, other than he got an innocent baby in the mix of this unsavory situation. Shame on all three!

Amen! I was astonished to know that she approached a candidate for the office of President with the comment, 'you're hot'. I'll bet she had her phone number scribbled on her palm, or maybe her belly. Now I know the real identity of the 'pig in lipstick' we've heard so much about.

Totally agree!! She has her head firmly planted in a dark area or she would realize that not one word from her will make any decent person think better of either her or Johnny. Even if people could forgive them of the human spirit that succumbs to such antics, they handled it from a point of complete and absolute deceit with lies and character assassinations abound.

I hope the cameras at her windows keep her in that dungeon she calls home until she finds the courage to be honest with herself and apologize to the wife and children she publicly humiliated.

Oh, and she needs to keep her clothes on for pictures. Those thighs don't photograph well. It's obvious she is trying to show people why Johnny would find her more attractive than Elizabeth, but she has completely failed. Elizabeth is the one who actually has the right to criticize Miss Hunter, and she has been very cautious about taking a higher road.

And she says she's not doing it for money, but hey, she's in GQ...she's still on the front pages, and that's money in one form or another. Poor thing...she's such a "victim."

You are so right Mo. With all the protection out there, honestly you weren't trapping him Rielle? I so feel for that little baby having her for a mother. I hope Elizabeth holds her head high and puts her arms around her children knowing that they will come out the winners. I'm just sorry Elizabeth had to go through this mess when her health needs all positive karma around her right now. You're in my prayers Elizabeth and your children too. Remember faith moves mountains.

There should be a law made to protect the spouse who doesn't wander. Maybe cheating would go down.

According to the article she received no money for the interview. I would pretty much think the Democrats paid her off pretty well.

WILDWONDERFUL

According to the article she received no money for the interview. I would pretty much think the Democrats paid her off pretty well.

That comment is about as dumb as me saying the GOP paid here to talk to the press. Or do you have any facts to support your wild claim?

You are kidding right??? Everyone knows she got paid to keep quiet. They are thinking of bring charges against him for misuse of campaign funds. but I am just glad that she is so happy and in love. I hope she loves him soooo much that one day when he cheats on her, she gets just what she deserves. Sluts/whores/homewrecker gotta love them well at least that is what they are told and they believe it.

gethelp

You are kidding right??? Everyone knows she got paid to keep quiet.

The Democrats did not pay her. Sen Edwards did which is entirely different than saying the Democratic Party paid her. You see the difference right!!!!!!

meemeemoo,

Elizabeth was not holding on to Johnny, there are laws in the state of NC that state you must be separated from your spouse for a year prior to a divorce consideration. Further, even if there are any financial disputes, you can still get a divorce in NC without having your finances settled prior to the divorce. Therefore, it behooves anyone with financial concerns to demand a divorce not be granted until all finances are settled, otherwise, someone's going to get the shaft, I mean screwed, I mean taken for a ride, umm...

Secondly, are you married? You don't have to answer that but, in marriage, when one is having an affair, the other may or may not have an idea it is happening especially if there is that "unconditional" love happening. I mean, if your spouse denies an affair by saying, "No", it's actually customary to give your spouse the benefit of the doubt. The sort of trust that grows in that sort of relationship goes beyond healthy. IMHO

What exactly is sultry about big thighs? She's not a very sensuous woman, and she's taken that pose for Elizabeth....just for Elizabeth. To show her the competition. You think the magazine wanted the other woman to pose like a slut to justify her side of the story, or were they simply allowing this tramp to prove she's a mean-spirited, selfish wench?

She speaks of how horrible the wrath of Elizabeth is, yet nothing is being said to support that position. Elizabeth is an attorney who is separated from her husband and has every right to take him to the cleaners over what he and his tawdry mistress did. They are in NC where "alienation of affection" actually finds its way to the courtroom and, when it does, the winner wipes out the loser. That loose tongued interview might just land Johnny and Miss Hunter in the poor house.

jasper

That is a good one

Yeah, he should have become involved with boys or men like some of the republican leaders. Their lovers couldn't get pregnant.

Hahaha! Jasper, that made me chuckle - LOUD!

True, I wish the women today would keep it to themselves, I mean it is bad enough for Elizabeth Edwards and her children to know how badly he behaved without the slut voicing her opinion on their marriage and relationship...seriouisly how bad could Elizabeth be if he stayed with her for what 30 years??? and if it was so bad, there is this little process called divorce!

to jasperark: like Repubs never cheated? Oh, no, they just get caught with male prostitutes and harrass their male aides. Please, this isn't about party...this is about men with power and outsized egos going off the deep end. Her comments about Elizabeth are disgusting and she lives in her own delusional world. They may, in fact, end up together....as someone else said, they deserve each other. So, he was furious she got pregnant, wanted her to get an abortion, made his aide take the fall, refuses to speak to her when the baby is born.....sounds like true love to me! Elizabeth Edwards writes beautifully of her son's loss, her journey through cancer, motherhood and losing her marriage. She is to be applauded for how she has coped, how she has risen above this....even seeing the child with John and taking pictures of her and buying her gifts. Look, in the best of circumstances, most women would not be capable of doing that. She is not only strong, but is also incredibly evolved to be able to move forward in the way that she has. I agree with another writer here, Ms. Hunter should fade away, change her name, whatever...to try to give this child a fighting chance in the world.....but I don't think she has that kind of integrity to do what is best for the child.

commonsense,

So Massa was playing the safe side?

Jasper, Please don't forget Dwright D. Esenhower(Republican President) when you name JFK, RFK and Clinton. You know the 34th President, who was a five star general that brought his woman back home with him when he came from the battlefield to run for the Presidency. It's in books, and it did not make Mamie Esenhower's day either but she too was a true lady. Some of foundling fathers of America had very lax morals also, read up on it. Cheating on one's spouse is wrong, and should never be done, but that goes for all Demo and all Repos and all of the rest of us. Whoremongers have been around since bibical days, they come in all colors, religions and social status, plus all parties Democracts, Republicans, and Independents. God will judge all of us, and since he is our creator, and we are not his, it is his right to judge and not ours. Cheating is bad; but there are worst sins, and they are being committed everyday. Check out the sins committed against little children......

haha, don't boil the bunny, b*tch...

OMG - hasn't anybody got any morals, character or shame? And who tells a complete stranger that they're hot?

She goes right up there with the whores that were screwing Tiger Woods. Only difference between her and them is they aren't dragging a poor child through the sh*t left behind.

"no profanity" is a newsvine RULE.

Ahh, the good 'ol days.

i don't think thats true of Eisenhower.

A f&*%i$@ men. That's the only comment for these two sleaze bags....and a potential scum president at that!!

Lily,

Leave the kid out of it. What century were you born in? Shame on you.

Rielle is a filthy stinking home wrecking whore. As is every woman that would do this. And John Edwards is a nasty rat b*. As a child of a philandering man I know what kind of havok this can cause a family. For one woman to do this to another is sad. But trust that karma is a b* and she will come back and bite every home wrecking ho on her a* May they both roast in h*

been there also, chris rock says it best,

"when a man cheats, he cheats on his family".

Hunter: "hi HotStuff, i'm a wrecking ball to RILE up your family."

PreyJohnny: "ok. ." snivel.
