John Edwards Admits Extra-Marital Affair

 He met her in a bar in 2006 and she worked with him on the campaign. He has not taken a DNA test yet on the child some claim is his. He was seen visiting her in a hotel the other day, and holding the baby. Probably off the short list now for VP.

Did I mention the dogs wife has cancer.

Here's the story...

Edwards admits to affair, denies fathering child

LOL..I thought you were talking about the John Edward from Crossing Over. sheesh where is my brain?

The thing that bugs me about this, and I must admit I heard this rumor over a month ago now, is when some assistant of Edwards said NO he had the affair with the woman & the child is his not Edwards'.

I'd never casually excuse an affair, nor will I say it was his fault or her fault...but I do say it should remain private and between whomever the couple is & they are the only ones that know the reasons or have the explanations.

Guess if Elizabeth Edwards has stuck it out with him, they've figured these things out, and yes I knew she has cancer.

I still think John Edwards has a lot to offer as a politician, but he may as well forget any further Presidential aspirations for at least the next decade.  I hope the sex was worth it!

There is no such thing as privacy anymore when it comes to well known people.   They should know that if they do something wrong, it will be found out.   I feel sorry for his wife.  No matter what goes on between Elizabeth and him, if he wanted to screw around, he could have had the decency to get a divorce and not embarrass her.  JMO   I have no respect for him.

my heart goes out to his wife.........she did not deserve to deal with this, expecially are ill as she is.

Lady Fingers:

but he may as well forget any further Presidential aspirations for at least the next decade.

See I think I don't give a dang if he had an affair.  I think Elizabeth gives a dang-sh!t if he did but isn't that and shouldn't that be between them??

I could give a burp if Bush had an affair...in fact it may have made him a happier person (even if temporarily) if he had one.  I just don't understand why something so personal becomes my concern.

Ditto, Oldgirl.  Uncalled for.

It comes to a point that you can trust no one

No offense Birdseye, but when I first heard this news my response was who cares?  People make bad decisions every day and it seems like those with wealth and/or power tend to do it more.

I agree with you, Oldgirl.

Renee, it isn't a rumor if it's true, I don't think, and apparently he's said it's true. 

What's interesting is how so many were dogging John McCain for divorcing his wife after an accident and it's just John Edwards' and his wife's business if he's screwing around on her while she's battling a deadly disease? ROFLMAO  Until at least the majority in the country can agree that if it's wrong, it's wrong, period, then the moral decline will continue.  It's either wrong or it's not and in this case, it was wrong. 

I agree with Ladyfingers, he can forget seeking the Presidential office and like you, hope he finds the memories mighty comforting! LOL

LF, maybe she (his wife) just found out also. I haven't read anywhere that she knew anything about this until now. Just saying......then again, maybe she has already known. But I can't imagine many women who know and pretend they don't. Unless she thought it was over....which obviously it isn't.

Yes, it's a shame that it has to become public, but that's part of being in the limelight. I still say it says alot about your integrity. Whether he has a l lot to offer politically, I find someone like this to be untrustworthy.

If he'd made it to the nomination instead of Obama, this news would have cost him the election big time.
