Get Rielle

The life of John Edwards flame Rielle Hunter has been a novel, literally, with Bolivian marching powder, movie scripts called "It's All About Uranus" and electrocuted horses.

    Get Rielle? WTF?

    First of all who is this jouvenal person? Is that supposed to be a cute little pun? The article was indeed juvenile. It had no new information in it at all--- the background research consisted of using google. It's like being in 5th grade and copying out of the encyclopedia.

    Secondly, why "Get Rielle?" It doesn't get rielle. Did they mean that in the sense of she is worthy for attack? As in let's all get her? Or did they mean it in the sense of "get THIS chick!" as in she is too ridiculous to be believed. Either way, the article doesn't live up to its title.

    I think this woman should be targeted by the media (tabloid or otherwise) because she makes no bones about the fact that she decided she was going to get herself a rich and pwoerfufl man, she was going to "manifest" it in her life, and then she did just that. John Edwards was an idiot and no one has said anything about whether she's jsut the latest flavor of the month or not, but the point is, she is a grown (if stupid) woman who should be held accountable for her tacky behavior.

    The true tragedy is that she's brought a child into all of this, permanently affecting the lives of John Edwards' family forever and certainly, creating a mess for that poor kid.

    So go ahead---get Rielle. But do it well for god's sake. School is about to start and the fifth graders will be in short supply.
