Yep, There's a Sex Tape, Says Edwards Aide

Young gave Hunter a place to stay...and then found a steamy video

Share

(Newser) – What's a sex scandal without a sex tape? A source who got a peek at the tell-all book proposal penned by Andrew Young—the Edwards aide who claimed to be the father of Rielle Hunter’s child—tells the New York Daily News that Young found a videotape of Hunter 'getting political' with Edwards. The source added that Hunter reportedly told Young she and Edwards had talked about getting married should Elizabeth die—down to what music they'd play at the wedding.

Are you mad? He was running for PRESIDENT and dicking around with mistresses. Just because George W. doesn't hold an office anymore doesn't give him the right to be a complete asshole either. Fuck John Edwards. He intends on holding an office sooner or later so this bastard should get grilled.

And to think that neither he nor his wife, care to find out through DNA whether it is his child or not and to act like a parent should. He may not be in office but that does not excuse behavior that hurts the so far fatherless child. John act like a man. This child may be half sibling to your other children. They need to at least have a nodding acquaintance. There are enough fatherless children already. Reply

Well, the DNA test will not cause anyone to suddenly become a father, I think the world knows who daddy is and to be honest I don't give a damn. She opened her legs to a married man so I have no sympathy for her at all. Now if DNA testing would make a male act like a man then the entire country needs to line up for a swab. Edwards is already paid enough cash to her and probably more already than any kid I have will ever have spent on them. Face it, all the DNA crap is about is to make headlines to fill an undying need by humans to trash other peoples lives instead of attempting to be better people themselves. Then again, perhaps if Edwards went to South America and banged some broad down there you might like that better? It would be more acceptable perhaps?
