      Migraines Can Kill Adulterers: Study

      (Newser) - Deadly migraines can be caused by cheating on one’s spouse, the Telegraph reports.

Migraines “can be exacerbated by a series of factors like aphrodisiac food, performance-enhancing drugs, physical strain and psychological stress caused by the need to keep the relationship secret,” a researcher said.

      Dems Shun Elizabeth on Affair Cover-Up

      (Newser) - As the Democratic stars are shining over Denver, Elizabeth Edwards barely glimmers in seclusion in North Carolina, reports the AP.

    • Edwards Told Rielle They'd Be Together After Wife Died: Tab

      Edwards Told Rielle They'd Be Together After Wife Died: Tab

      (Newser) - The National Enquirer is on the John Edwards case again this week, with a story offering salacious details of the affair with Rielle Hunter (offered by "friends") and a photo of the baby the tab says is his. Edwards not only promised Hunter they’d be together after his cancer-stricken wife died, the tab claims, but he called to reiterate the promise after he confessed the adultery on national television. And he “wouldn’t hear of” an abortion when she became pregnant, the paper says.  More »

    • Lawyers Who Quashed Affair Rumors Had Edwards Ties

      Lawyers Who Quashed Affair Rumors Had Edwards Ties

      (Newser) - Two lawyers who acted seemingly independently in December to defuse rumors of John Edwards' affair had links to a key backer, the New York Times reports—lawyer Fred Baron, whose wife donated to Edwards' nearly defunct political action committee just as it paid Rielle Hunter $14,000 4 months after her contract ended. The cover-up, made by lawyers for Hunter and Andrew Young, the Edwards aide who claims to have fathered her child, suggests the affair may have gone on longer than the former candidate admits.

      Tab Claims Edwards Continued Affair

    • He's 99% Honest—Really!

      Washington Post  |  Aug 12, 08 11:41 AM CDT

      He's 99% Honest—Really!

      (Newser) - Every sex scandal has a defining sound bite, and John Edwards’ declaration that “being 99% honest is no longer enough,” is destined for the hall of fame, writes Ruth Marcus in the Washington Post. The thing about honesty is that last percentage is a killer. Given the size of Edwards’ “1%,” it’s pretty hard to imagine he’s reached the 100% promised land now. More »
