John Edwards is not a horny school boy. He was running for one of the greatest and most important job in the world which has the power to do great harm as well as great good. Had he won his finger would have been on the nuclear button. Furthermore he has a sick wife and perhaps this is the reason the cancer came back. He has 2 small children and a grown daughter.And people dont understand why he did this? Folks this man is a narcissist probably a malignant narcissist and Reille Hunter has the behavior of a sociopath. The fact that he got that far should motivate all of us to ask why these people fool us. They are very charming and lacking in conscience. This is not the story of a

sleazy affair. It is a horror story and i cannot accept the fact that Rielle has "honesty" as any redemption. Do you realize that if something happens to Elizabeth this woman might raise her children? John Edwards wouldnt last a day with me.He would be out the door. He is an unfit father and a dangerous man.Women,- dont enable these men . I see heroic fathers and husbands every day.

1. Who cares?

2. WTF kind of name is "Pigeon O'Brien"? Seriously.

Ms. Hunter looks like she barely escaped a botched job by daddy's hired hand. What was Johnny thinking when he fell for this?

The 'nutcase' RIELLE with her descriptions of JOHNNIE's 'chakras' and other new-age references for this DEMBHOLE SCUMBAG ATTORNEY's attributes - is little different from the 'nuttiness' of present wife ELIZABETH and her carbon-fruit imprint for eating fruits in her home. Being MS. ELIZABETH has proclaimed that no fruit be eaten except if it is grown/produced in the state in which you live. No not the state of 'transendental bliss' like RIELLE but rather your position/place in one of the UNITED STATES. Don't eat many banana's or pineapples does youse LIZZY in the CAROLINA's??? Or does youse and the GLOBALLY WARMING conscience of JOHN EDWARDS the former SENATURD and hypocrite just move transcendentally & psychically someplace else??? Or maybe youse could have the JOHN EDWARD'S THE SCUMBAG ATTORNEY to 'fix-it' through his legal shenanigans??? Ah DEMBHOLES screaming it is never about sex - it is about their private lies!!! Ha.

I have to confess, I derived a bit of guilty pleasure in reading about Druck's background for a lot of reasons.

When do we get to see the sex vid?

Grow the fuck up and move on!

It fits.

in the early l970s. Fanne was a stripper, "The Argentine Firecracker", and seemed more interested in dollar signs than astrological synbols and Wilbur had sought the nomination as the Demcratic candidate in the l972 election. There was an incident with the police when Wilbur and Fanne were enjoying a tete-a-tete in his car, resulting in Fanne plunging into the Washington Tidal Basin. Fortunately,, Fanne emerged, bedraggled to be sure, but she lived to continue with her "artistic" career as "The Tidal Basin Bombsehell".

People in the English-speaking world (and beyond) have been entertained for years by the sexual antics, the ghastly gambolling of American politicians because the American media gets "eating and drinking" out of such thoroughly laughable behaviour on the part of would-be legislators, even would-be Presidents. At least the Fanne and Wilbur story had great comical elements but this Rielle and Edwards tale is just dismal and pathetic. It should be given a rest; it doesn't have the allure of grand passion; the participants are boring mediocrities; there's nothing particularly amusing in their sneaking around..."The Argentinian Firecracker" is so more spirited (if not spiritual) than Ms. Whatsername but I don't know what happened to Wilbur or what will happen to Wilbur mark2, John Edwards.

They tried that and it worked.

The problem was that all those specially trained gay sniffing guard dogs all ended up turning gay.

Literally?

I think Edwards spent his life climbing the ladder and being the perfect person, the perfect husband and father and attorney. Along comes Hunter, with her past that must have seemed glamorous to Edwards and her new age spiritualism and he sees it as a path to a new him.

Not only is Edwards going through midlife but, he lost his son, his wife was sick and he lost the vice presidency. He did it all the button down way.

And probably felt something missing.

she may have represented the free spirit he wished he could be.

And atone for regrets like his war vote when he was button down DLC guy.

It may have been this that spurred him to publicly rebuke his war vote and go for the more populist thinking. Become more of the old populist guy of the past, of the 30s that he wanted to revive.

I personally think she may have been more to him on a personal and emotional level then as much sexual.

Sorry, we are not talking about Monica Lewinsky. ( I like her too, she endorsed a great lipstick from Sephora) Why are you so maniacally obsessed? OK!!!!! It happened. Sure it is inconvenient -- I am a Democrat -- I don't like it either, but let's face it , you just can't dictate people's personal life and morality.

Let me go one step further and suggest that a great misservice was done when we outlawed whorehouses. There used to be bars/taverns/whorehouses in every single town, where our founding fathers and their rebellious countrymen met and did business,and make no mistake, there were women of the evening working there as well. It is only of fairly recent vintage that we are so hysterically opposed to "working women".

WHAT IS WRONG with women plying their trade, and men paying for it, that is so terrible???

If you ask me, the world would be a MUCH HAPPIER PLACE is men could get their rocks off without all this sturm and dreng (sp, sorry, don't speak german). GROW UP PEOPLE!!!
