John Edward's Love Child - Tell me this ISN'T his kid

[songline]

I personally think it is just plain selfish, hateful and cold for Edwards to now marry the mother of his "love child" WHILE his soon to be ex-wife is still alive fighting cancer! ESPECIALLY after all the embarrassment he has caused his family let alone his wife! What an absolute donkey!

KRT your avatar is a riot....LOL

I do not think it is anything more then a political move to help his image :waitasec: :crazy: nothing to do with anything else. :twocents:

I don't think he can stand another day with Elizabeth.
OR he would have done his reconciliation with her FOR his image. :snooty:

I don't think he can repair his image. :innocent:
He still wants a political life and will try.

I also don't think he should live with Elizabeth just because she is the mother of his children and is sick, those are never the right reasons either.
MOO

I have NO respect for John Edwards or Elizabeth Edwards

He played out this whole affair, set up Young to be his "cover", ran for President...and Elizabeth stood right by him, knowing all along...what a farce

I think they are both selfish disgusting people.

I agree with you.
but wasn't young a pretty smart man to have gotten that big job with JE? I think you will say "yes"
What smart man agrees to pay A hole? did he have a gun to his head? I think you will say "no"

SO -- IMHO they all suck.

I agree...Young is just as bad...lie down with dogs, get up with fleas

they are all dogs..and "Riehle" or whatever her name is, is right in there with them

actually dogs are much nicer than all of this group..loving, loyal, and sweet...

I think this whole farce is just the sort of thing that people dislike about "pols" and politics. They are all revolting

As for the cancer angle....yeah, like most people I felt sorry for Elizabeth, but lately she really has shown a side of her that is not sympathetic or pretty. She should have quit while she was ahead, people would despise John Edwards and admire her...now I don't have any respect for any of them

The sheer arrogance of Edwards..and Elizabeth...to allow/request that his employee would "admit" to an affair and a love child, knowing the guy has a wife and kids...just unreal. To run for President with this "secret" festering under the surface....yuck. I have NO respect for any of them, but if I had to pick I would root for Young to come out ahead here. He is a paid snake, and at least he is coming out with the information.

I agree with almost everything but - your opinion on Young. A paid snake is still a snake, and snakes have venom.
He is coming out with the venom with the hopes of a pay day, or it would all still lie dormant in his closet.
I think his agenda is self serving and has nothing to do with the truth.
HE could have told the truth with out a book and without handing over a sex tape, call it opportunistic to get his 15 minutes, and acheck. He is as low as they are, not one micro better.
It' s a snake pit...

JMHO

 

[mikeysmommom]

:couch::
I hope he does not think that this is a solution to salvage his reputation.
I sure hope it is "love" because she is as ugly as sin. ooop

He has proven he does not care about looks he married Elizabeth,even before she was sick she sure not a looker.She is kinda horsey and if you look good at Hunter so is she.HHMmmmmmmmmm maybe JE neighbors should keep their horse barns locked when is in town. Just saying:couch::

Songline, I understand where you are coming from but I have to disagree with you slightly. As I have said previously, I am reading Young's book right now.

It is my opinion, and my opinion only that Young wound up writing this book because the promises John Edwards made him turned out to be hollow. JE abandoned Andrew and Cheri Young when he did not need them anymore, because the jig was up and the National Enquirer had outed him.

So yes, while Andrew Young is getting paid, he is doing it because the original plan he had for supporting his family is no longer a reality, thanks to John Edwards.

What I have gotten so far from reading his book and seeing him on 20/20 is that for a very long time, Andrew Young was enamored with JE and everything he BELIEVED he stood for. And I mean that not in a sexual way, I just mean that he believed that JE was a good person who really wanted to make a difference for this county. Young got caught up in all of it. He basically became their b_tch, doing the most basic of daily tasks for these people because he thought ultimately they were going to wind up in the White House and change the face of America. He got suckered. Literally and figuratively. And when he finally wised up he realized he needed to do something to protect himself and his family.

Am I saying he is completely without fault in this? No. But I can see how and why he wound up in the place that he did.

So I will say it again - this man got this job because he had some kind of a good resume. he was not a farmer.
He sucked up to JE because he sucked up. - in hope for something.
He lied because he lied. in hopes for something

the fact that JE is smoke and mirrors that is a very separate issue. He is now suposedly getting married to manipulate his Public image, but we are not that dumb...he just thinks he will charm us again...I never voted for him, he did not charm me.....BUT.....ONCE a con man always a con man.

Young has no character and that is what he is. he can justify his BS all day long. Being a snake is part of who he is, they shed their skin but grow the exact same kind of skin. Their venom is theirs, they did not buy it, learn it, etc..... I do not call that a little tinny garden snake variety. (harmless)

HE could have gone out to get work elsewhere.

I can see both sides of this argument. I tend to think that AY got very caught up in the political excitement and honestly did think JE would change America for the better. So when he learned about the affair and JE told him to take it as his own, he did it for the "cause" as he still believed in JE. Maybe at this point he saw him as a human who made a mistake but also as the one best thing for this country. And in that vein, he felt it best to cover for JE. Later, IMHO, AY felt used, as he was used. The media had repeated the story that he was the one who had the affair with Rielle, and ,IMHO, he regretted allowing that farce to continue because of how it was damaging his family. Even if Mrs. AY knew of the cover-up all along, it must have been painful for her when family and friends questioned her. Now the gig is up, he sees JE for the get-elected-at-all-costs politician that he is, and wanted to come forward to clear his name. Of course, it didn't hurt that he stood to make a great deal of money from the book, also.

BTW - has anyone heard anything else as to whether the story about JE proposing to RH is true??

 

[Kateyes]

Just wanted to add that JE reminds me of cheap furniture hidden behind a veneer. It looks great in the store, but after you get it home and it ages a bit, the veneer wears off and you see that all you really have is a piece of cheap furniture.

Thanks, Kateyes, you said it better than I was trying to.

BBM, since that came out I have only seen reports of Edwards denying the rumor about proposing to Rielle.

I would like to add that as I read The Politician I find myself believing more and more that Rielle has always wanted this story to come out. Some of the stories that AY recounts about things that happened along the campaign trail as those of them closest (himself and JE's "body man" and other campaign workers) to JE put two and two together and figured out what was going on between JE and Rielle really lead me to believe that she was the source of a few of the things that were dropped in the media's lap about the relationship.

LIKE he did not know that in politics everything comes out in the wash?:waitasec:
Like he did not know that there would be no chance for him to get to the WH if he has a family
and another family too.:waitasec:
Geshhhh...they went after Clinton for his pants...Why would AY assume that having a love child
even if JE did get that far, the country would NOT kick and scream. what did he think they would say?
AY you are so cool

Snakes shed skin, bit, and show up by surprise. Such is the MO of the entire bunch.

YAP her name is perfect I call her "the HUNTER" LOL (that is her last name, right?)
She went after him non stop, a girl with a plan. I do not see a love story here.
But at least we got to see who the entire bunch really is. SCUM. :innocent:

 

[Kateyes]

sleuthyMama I agree that Rielle wanted the story out - wholeheartedly agree. I think you are absolutley correct that she is the one who dropped things to the media, and further find your opinion that she was a calculating "hunter" right on the money. As it is now, FoxNews reported that she lives in Charlotte in a house bought for her by JE, and also receives $17,500, or some amount around that figure, in child support monthly How nice - no rent, and all that money for diapers, food, and necessary baby items!! (sarcasm)

Small Correction I AM the one who has been calling her "the HUNTER"

 

[Kateyes]

Just wanted to say thanks for the answer re: whether the engagement story is true. Here is my two cents, for what it is worth: 1. why should we believe the engagement denial when he denied the affair and the baby and we know that is true; 2. It seems that "like has met like" in the duo of JE and RH, although EE is showing her true colors lately too...'nuff said.

I have thought the same thing SleuthyMama! Right after the story broke and the NE sent JE running to hide in the bathroom :runaway::runaway::runaway: and we saw the grainy pictures of him with the baby, my first thought was that she was very possibly instrumental in breaking the story for her own personal gain..Now, I feel sure of it..but that's jmo..

 

[songline]

Why is JE always contorting his face.?
He always makes faces that make him look like he is in deep pain.

Maybe he can become a contortionist.

A federal grand jury is set to indict two-time presidential candidate John Edwards, the National Enquirer reported Wednesday.

Edwards, who admitted in February to fathering a child with former campaign videographer Rielle Hunter, has been under investigation by the feds for possible improper use of campaign funds.

The Enquirer, which first reported Edwards' extramarital affair in 2007, sources an unidentified "insider," who claims an indictment is imminent.
