Edwards Admits Sexual Affair; Lied as Presidential Candidate

[Psycho4Bud]

John Edwards repeatedly lied during his Presidential campaign about an extramarital affair with a novice filmmaker, the former Senator admitted to ABC News today.

In an interview for broadcast tonight on Nightline, Edwards told ABC News correspondent Bob Woodruff he did have an affair with 44-year old Rielle Hunter, but said that he did not love her.

Edwards also denied he was the father of Hunter's baby girl, Frances Quinn, although the one-time Democratic Presidential candidate said he has not taken a paternity test.

Edwards said he knew he was not the father based on timing of the baby's birth on February 27, 2008. He said his affair ended too soon for him to have been the father.

A former campaign aide, Andrew Young, has said he was the father of the child.
ABC News: Edwards Admits to Sexual Affair; Lied as Presidential Candidate

Real class act.....his wife is battling cancer and he's out burying the balony pony. I don't expect to see this slime at the convention.

The MOTHER of all flip-flops.......I didn't have sex with that woman; I rode her like a cowboy!:s3:

Have a good one!:s4:

I try to steer clear from politics on this board, because I am usually exhausted by the time I get on here... and I certainly do not care who a politician is getting sloppy with (because I don't think they should give shit who I'm scrompin' ) However, I do understand the absolute importance of 100% honesty from someone who wants to help rule the G.D. world

BUT... with that said .... (and assuming the situation is black and white)

What a fucking piece of shit
It just makes you think about ALL the skeletons lurking in every other politicians closet.
I mean, we all have problems and regrets... but aren't these guys supposed to be better than us???

Well... i personally think that is wrong for the media to mix the candidates personal life with their political carrers... what really matters is if he/she is a good politician when it is in its office, working... what one does outside the office is no one else business...
Its the same thing... if youre a hard working person, who pays all your taxes, no one should bother you because you smoke weed in the privacy of your home, since it does not interfere with your work.

i agree.... i think less of him for lying to her and us but dont think pussy effects his job. My problem is that on a day when Russia and Georgia get into the mix...we put that in small caps while we scream about edwards gettin some on the side! WHO CARES!!!

I just re-read my post and I seem angry :wtf: and I don't think I really expressed myself clearly. :stoned:

I think he is a "piece of shit" :jointsmile: for cheating on his wife. It is worse that she is dealing with a terminal illness. If he wanted to go elsewhere, he should have divorced his wife. Kids, public image, religion aside... you gotta act like a grown up.

If the dude down the block said he was cheating on his wife, even without her being sick, I would have said "Wow, you're a piece of shit." Haha :hippy: I got no problems with anyone jumping around getting wild with whatever... shit's ALL good... but just go through the proper procedures. Don't string people on, or go sneaking around like your 15.... riding bikes down side streets to see a jump off at 4am when you're like 40 years old :wtf:

Show the other person some respect and be honest. It's gonna be alright in the end :twocents:

I doubt it.. apparently his wife and loved ones new about this back in 2006

I don't like much about Edwards, but his extramarital affairs are none of our business.
