John Edwards Caught With Mistress And Bastard Child????

Filed under: Baby Blabber > Politik > Barack Obama

edwards.jpg

Looks like John Edwards' name might be crossed off Barack Obama's VP short list!

The National Enquirer reports that they caught the former Presidential candidate sneaking into a Beverly Hills hotel 2 a.m. Tuesday morning, July 22nd, so he could see his Santa Barbara based mistress and his love child!

Edwards was reportedly in LaLaLand to meet with the city's mayor about homelessness.

Did Johnny boy use the mayor to get out to the West Coast?

Juicy!

The Enquirer cites a months-long investigation to advance its claim that Edwards was visiting the woman he was effing while his wife was battling cancer and the bastard child he fathered.

Click here to read all about the Enquirer's Edwards hotel sting.

Potentially explosive stuff!

    Busted! While John Edward's wife battles cancer, he's out slipping it to the coke addicted campaign workers? Classy stuff. I've lost all respect for John Edwards.

    Edwards is too dumb to realize his glory-hound girlfriend tipped off the Enquirer. She's an ex addict wannabe starlet and now she's a babymomma. She hit the mother lode and can't wait to tell everyone all about it. I'll bet Elizabeth Edwards is turning over in her grave.

    This is bullshit, I worked on his campaign and I can assure you that there were hot college girls surrounding this man on a daily basis and he was not bothered or concerned with it,there are eyes watching everything you do on the campaign trail, and the last thing you are going to do when running for president is cheat on your wife. He traveled with his wife and children 99% of the time ….this is a bullshit story to discredit a great man.

    Democrats can rely on "liberal media" such as the LA Times or NY Times to get news reports. It's interesting to see how the Republicans on here are excited to see such a piece in the National Enquirer.

  14. true says – reply to this


    114

    This is old news but still glad you're keeping it alive. The main media simply will not report it. They even knew about this while he was trying to get the nomination. I'm a democrat but can't stand this man. He's been screwing around on his sick wife for a long time and for some reason the media is protecting him. I don't think people, especially younger people who have more faith in the media then they deserve, realize just how bad our media is here in the USA. Not that they necessary lie, but are very selective on what they report and what they don't. It is very bad and getting worse.

    115

    Ah yes-hard-hitting investigative reporting done by the organization that many refer to as "the newspaper" LOL.

    I haven't even heard FoxNews do this one yet and they aren't adverse to slander at all.

    I'll keep an eye out for the rest of the biased media though

  16. Skep says – reply to this

    The Enquirer??? LOL. They also announced that BatBoy is his secret father and that squirrels are secretly plotting to overcome the world. C'mon. Next you're going to cite soiled toilet paper as a source.

    This story has been around for a long time - and true. Why do you think this scumbag dropped out?

    This shitbag has a wife with cancer and has gotten another chick preggers and still keeps in touch.

    A true Democrat.

    Holy Crap! Edwards was just on MSNBC and admitted everything! He's the baby's father but he's not gettin a divorce and Elizabeth and him are trying to work through it! He says he made a mistake but he's trying to do the right thing!

    Turn your tvs on people. CBS just had a clip of Edwards admitting he was the father of Rielle Hunter's child. Seems like a pretty stand up guy, just trying to do the right thing. Good luck John.

    124

    Just saw that myself. Wow, the Enquirer was right for once. Pretty strong of Edwards to come out and address the issue like that. I admire him more for taking responsibility for it than just denying it endlessly like Bill.

  25. reali says – reply to this


    125

    Inside Edition just had that same clip. I am very disappointed in John Edwards judgement, but impressed with his responsibility. He has my vote for VP.

    I refuse to believe it! First, take a look at the source of the story. And secondly, there isn't a more devoted couple in politics…not even Barack and Michelle. I think it is shameful of that magazine for putting out such a story.

    Saw it with my own eyes. Why deny it for a year only to cough up the truth the first time there's any evidence? I mean, I saw Edwards's say its his kid but it just doesn't make sense. Why is he admitting it now?

    131

    Its all over the news now. I just saw it twice in five minutes. I don't care. Edwards is as relevant to the Democratic party as Jesse Jackson. Doesn't mean anything. After all, the guy's trying to do the right thing. If its his kid, shouldn't he own up to it? Isn't that what Obama is asking everyone to do?

  32. Kiri says – reply to this

    SO WHAT??!!!!! MOST polititians have some sort of scandal neatly tucked away! This doesnt make Edwards less of a leader.

It was written by a famous call girl whose business was primarily servicing WASHINGTON POLITITIANS!!!

    Ha! Now that you know this shit is true - you try and absolve him from wrong-doing.

    His wife is suffering from cancer. This ass used her in a BIG-TIME way on the campaign trail. Yet worse, he had one of his married campaign managers claim it was his illigit children. What a scumbag.

    He's not worth the fucking money he spent on his $400 haircuts.

    140

    Funny how u callt his child a bastard but I see plenty of people in Hollywood having bastard children every month. Lets see these people all have bastard children(some got married well after)there is Brangelina-repeat offenders, Tom & Kate, Jamielynn Spears, Minnie Driver, Mathew Macenhoy, Michelle Williams (sorry no reflection to her passed away father Heath), Hallie Barrie and I could go on and on so instead of calling just only a political figuare so called child a bastard child also start calling these Hollywood stars children bastards too- Becaseuse they are

    145

    Why am I not surprised by this ??? Also, the Enquirer broke the story about Rush with his oxycontin problems so it is probably true. I feel sorry for his wife, she has to see this on the front page of the Enquirer when she goes shopping.

    To Cree -

    You're right. Bastards are the new "cool" thing. Not. But some guy pimping out his wife suffering from cancer and running for President - that's just to much.

    We don't vote for "hollywierd" people, but we DO vote for presidents. And if they can ditch their cancerous wife for a lover and get he knocked up - well. Asshole. We don't need his ilk in government. Politicians suck as it is without knowing they fuck their own family over.

    John Edwards is just a conceded old gas bag who walks like he has a big pile of crap in his pants. In an interview he said; "People think I'm a Ked doll" Really! Someone thinks pretty highly of themselves. And even though he denied it, he did indeed say he didn't like gay and they made him uncomfortable. His wife even admitted it. He's nothing but a 2 time loser, literally, yet the press thinks he craps out golden eggs.

    This has been reported on months ago by the Drudge Report. If this is true or not Obama will throw him under the bus. His poor wife is dying of terminal cancer, and he still chose to run for president instead of caring for his wife. Edwards and Obama are both inexperienced, shady, egomanics who deserve each other.

    Does anybody else think it was the mistress that called the National Enquirer? She seems to be a Hollyweirdo that craves the spotlight, and it seems like she can't wait to tell someone. Anyone. She's practically bursting at the seams with excitement that she can be somebody, and John Edwards poor choice in determining a lover will be his undoing.

    Since when has the National Enquirer been a reputable news source? I mean, this is the newspaper that routinely reports on alien abductions and half human/dog hybrids, just to name a few off the off the wall things. Oh, and to the poster that mentioned another democrat cheating on their spouse…if you want to play that game, I'm more than willing to talk about republicans molesting children.
