Elizabeth Edwards should leave her husband now, while it''s not too late. John Edwards will NEVER change. Look at B. J. Clinton!

For those of you upset by Edwards--consider Cindy McCain--Do we really want any man''s mistress rewarded with the job of first lady?

How much of Elizabeth Edwards'' money is being funneled to pay off her husband''s bleach-blond s-l-u-t? Wouldn''t Elizabeth prefer that money go to her own children after she dies? How can she stand knowing that a chunk of her own kids'' future inheritance is going to John''s w-h-o-r-e?

I figured it out. Edwards and Hunter (real name Druck) continued their affair after 2006, because the child is Edwards'' daughter. But when Hunter realized Edwards had no intention of ever leaving his wife, she decided to blackmail Edwards. Edwards'' turned to Fred Baron for help. Baron paid Young to claim he was the father. Then baron paid the Young family AND Hunter to move to California, so Young could watch Hunter and make sure she stayed quiet - the main condition of the continuing payments. When the payments eventually made Hunter feel like a cheap w-*** (she figured out Edwards would never admit the child was his), she called Edwards to meet her at the Beverly Hills hotel - but she also tipped off the National Enquirer. Edwards gets caught. Now Hunter wants MORE money, or else she''ll ask for a paternity test. Edwards has promised her that money, but WE''RE WATCHING NOW! She''ll never get a dime of that money!

Of course this deserves to continue as a story!
At least for me. We expect celebrities to have different partners. These are just more celebrities. In Europe, extramarital relations is private and not related to the job as politician.
Only America, while extolling *** throughout every facet of the culture, holds its political leaders to such a standard.
Any good joke is worth reading about.

"The bottom line to it is John Edwards and Elizabeth Edwards had no knowledge of anything I did," Baron said. "I did it as a friend."

And, why would Baron do anything "as a friend," if it wasn''t Edwards baby and Baron wasn''t doing it out of loyalty to Edwards? I hope Baron knows that Edwards will throw him under the bus when this gets uglier.

After all, all he was trying to do was pick out Elizabeth''s replacement so that he would have Rielle waiting in the wings when Elizabeth dies. And for all we know, it might still work out for them. All they have to do is wait, and once Elizabeth is gone, Edwards and Rielle can be a happy family.

Prince Charles had Camilla picked out to replace Diana (shudder) years before Diana was was killed in her tragic (accident). Oh, come to think of it, there is still time for Edwards to arrange a tragic accident.

I wonder, will Rielle pick out new China? Or will she just use what is already in the palace?

The reason I have put these posts on here about Cindy McCain is because of blackisbest who keeps telling us to vote against Cindy McCain.
