It's terrible that a homosexual was allowed into the White House. Don't they have guard dogs that can sniff for that sort of thing?

Monica was immature but not naive. What follows comes from her own testimony to the independent prosecutor: She told her friends when she took off for D.C. for her unpaid internship after college that she was taking her kneepads because she planned to seduce Clinton. The government shutdown gave her the chance because paid employees were put on leave and interns, like Lewinsky, filled in. One day she wangled a way to get to Clinton by delivering pizza. When she entered his office, she pulled her skirt (pants?) part way down and flipped her thong underwear at him. The rest, as they say, is history.

I think I like you, Rielle! For being a strange-o,for being a self centered person. Excuse me!

You are different and committed no crimes I can think of. Sorry, it's the way of the world, we are attracted to all kinds of people, married or not. You are a creative person and I hope you resurface after this is all over!

Is "Bob in Pacifica" suggesting that Mary Jo Kopechne somehow steered the car off the bridge from the passenger seat and then drowned herself?

That's the most offensive thing I've ever read here. And the stupidest.

I'd charge you 50 per hour too.

Unless you ran for office.

She looks to be using a Panasonic VHX-200, which is an expensive camera which requires very expensive memory cards to record video onto. Charging a hundred dollars an hour for videotaping is not outrageous. Then it has to be put into a computer and that is done real time for the most part - an hour of video takes an hour plus to put into the computer and then you have to eidt them which is a time consuming process.

100,000 for four months

25,000 per month

800 plus per day

If she only spent four hours videotaping Edwards, that is 400 dollars

assuming she got two hours of actual video that is an additional 200 dollars to input it into the computer

Assuming that she is a fast as lightening editor and logged it as it was being entered into the computer and put it together in her head as she is watching it, that would be another 3 or 4 hours - let's say 3 for an additional 300 dollars.

That adds up to 900 dollars so lets assume that she took a day off and it doesn't really seem like what she charged is that outrageous. She also had to go with him to Uganda? That is full time work and full time pay because that is not a place most people would want togo to unless they were HIGHLY paid.

I'll do work for 50 per hour, but my camera isn't as desirable. If I had to hang out with a sleazeball pol, I would be charging a 100 dollars per hour too.

Unless it was McKinney. She is a Hero.

If George W. Bush's boy toy Jeff Gannon isn't worthy of press attention then why is John Edwards affair any more newsworthy. He isn't the President of the United States. When a male prostitute is a most frequent visitor to the white house, I would assume that underwear sniffers like you would be howling and shrieking with outraged hoots, hollers and catcalls.

Please, let us hear you ROOOOOAR with indignation!!!

Body language - putting your hand on the back of someone's neck says a lot. It really does put the person in the mood - regardless of gender.

Not that there is anything WRONG with the President having a little gay sex now and then.

After all, he and John Kerry spent and evening together in a coffin once - ooooh la la!

...but I read it anyway, just so I could post my indifference with credibility.

Isn't it amazing how most comments for the Edwards' affair story denounce it being covered--it appears those posters are the story's biggest followers. Kind of like protesting cuss words, da...it!

The one curious detail in this story concerns the amount Ms. Rielle was paid to produce the videos. Heretofore, all stories have stated that Edwards paid her $114,000 to produce the videos...until yesterday.

Donors to Edwards campaign had questioned why Baron, Edwards campaign finance minister, relocated her and the proxy, Young, to California, installed them in multimillion dollar homes, and gave them $15,000, too.

Yesterday that $15K was reduced to $14K and then attributed to what the campaign owed her for her "work." Oh.

Good work, Jouvenal--you're certainly up to date with the details. Of course, you checked that out, verified it with at least 2 sources, saw a copy of the receipt. Since you are still in school, I imagine you are still hypervigilant about conducting journalism by the book.

Why is this story important to me? The sex? Not at all. In fact, I sympathize with Edwards--I know how tough it is to face midlife in the dark: kid died, wife sick and dying. We all lean toward the light, look at those pictures of ourselves when we were young, carefree, and really happy, so happy it is shocking to see.

What bothers me about this story is the other betrayal. Edwards betrayal to me, to Ralph Nader, to all those homeless people, impoverished, Hurricane Katrina victims who gave money to their spokesperson--who in turn gave it to shamelessly uncredentialed Rielle Hunter to film vanity videos for his campaign.

Rielle's been the recipient of overgifting. (For someone so guru'ed up, I'm surprised she took the people's donations--what happened to all that enlightenment? ) Edwards gives her $114,000--why not a few bucks and a disposable camera. Baron, in the midst of a poverty campaign, surrounded by people who live in the street and take the bus where they want to go, actually feels so sorry for Rielle and the proxy that he unlocks his safe and moves 5 people to the other side of the country, finds a couple of multimillion dollar houses for them to cower in.

Why not a few bucks, an apartment, and a job? Heck, why not a Fema trailer to call their own? After all, if it's good enough for your contributors....?

Funny who people feel sorry for? Donald Trump decides,among all the people victimized by Countrywide and losing their homes and everything, that he feels sorriest for Ed McMahon--though he's never met him. So he buys Ed's multimillion dollar home and tells Ed you and your squeeze can live their for life, free! I wonder if he's tucked a few hundred thousand in his pocket, to help him get started again? Wow, Ed McMahon is the most tragic victim of the foreclosure debacle--at least to Trump. Don't ever accuse Trump of being heartless again.

Do I sound bitter? Maybe. Rising prices, unregulated companies who con you and then get out of paying taxes, oil companies that raise prices with impunity, our govt who gives Iraq $10 billion dollars a month--ah, forget the receipt, don't insult me.

Funny how people rallied around Edwards in the first place. Ralph Nader is the real thing.
