It is suspicious; ;maybe there was an imbedded camera in the room? I don't know. He's wearing the same T-shirt as in the other photo, where he looks "stressed"?
He could have simply been visiting Rielle and the baby; supposedly the father was Andrew Young.
But why would he be visiting that time of night, and why would Rielle, who was supposedly living in North Carolina with Young, be at the same hotel as John Edwards? (could it be that John had a "fling" when they found out Elizabeth was going to die from cancer? NOT excusable though. This woman does not have the sense to use birth control?) Of course there have been no pics of Rielle released
Why have they not immediately made statements debunking all this?
(Sorry, I admit I follow this trash tabloid stuff, especially when it involves such a large public figure, and sometimes it turns out to be true).
Again, if it is, I think it's terrible and I feel for Elizabeth Edwards and the family. Even if it is not true, they are suffering from this publicity.
