You Disappoint Me, John

August 8th, 2008 · No Comments

John Edwards admits he did have an affair in 2006. I am throughly disappointed by John’s stupidity. I was one of the bloggers who fought so hard saying this story was total bunk last fall. I had high hopes for John Edwards and was a staunch supporter. Do I think this makes him a bad man? No, just a stupid one who thought with the head in his pants instead of the head on his shoulders.

My heart goes out to Elizabeth Edwards and the family.

Edwards Admits Sexual Affair; Lied as Presidential Candidate

In ABC News Interview, Edwards Says He Cheated, but Did Not Father Child

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 the affair began during the campaign after she was hired. Hunter traveled with Edwards around the country and to Africa.

Edwards said his wife, Elizabeth, and others in his family became aware of the affair in 2006.
