This is a sordid tale of greed, ambition, lust & lies that spells "WRETCHED DUMB 4SS" in big letters from here to the steps of the National Enquirer. And a little two y.o. girl suffers at the center of this adolescent maelstrom.
From a titillated ABC News:
$1 Million Spent to Cover Up John Edwards' Pregnant Mistress During Democrat Primaries in 2007.
"...(Edwards) concocted an elaborate scheme to keep the scandal a secret, according to the once-loyal aide who helped smuggle the woman through a series of luxurious hideaways. Wealthy benefactors were called on and their sizable contributions funded the lavish life on the lam...
Edwards' campaign aide, Andrew Young helped facilitate the surreal scheme.
Young and his wife, Cheri, said they had less than 12 hours to make the decision to go on the lam with his boss's mistress -- Rielle Hunter -- but ultimately agreed to go into hiding with her. According to Young, Edwards' campaign finance chairman, Fred Baron, who's now deceased, made it possible for them to effectively disappear.
"Fred said to me, 'Andrew, I got more money than I can ever spend. You spend whatever it takes to take care of the situation. And let us focus on making him president, vice president or attorney general," Young recalled."
Wowser. The rich really aren't like you & me.
Edwards' mistress, Rielle Hunter, gave birth to a girl sometime in 2008. Andrew Young originally feigned fatherhood of the little girl, and having long denied paternity, Edwards finally fessed up to the little squirt, now 2 years old.
But in the interim, can you imagine having some other guy take the rap, hide his own wife with the mistress and ship their own kids off to the grandparents during this maniacal scheme?!
I wonder which of John Edwards' "two Americas" that would take place?
But, wait. It's gets even more queer: The mistress wants the sex tape of her & John returned to her.
"In his book out this week, Young describes viewing a sex tape that showed a naked Edwards and a woman he assumed was Hunter. Young says Hunter left the tape inside a "box of trash" at a house Edwards rented for her. He claimed the tape ribbon had been pulled out, but he was able to fix it."
Krykee. Can this Young guy spell P.E.R.V.E.R.T. or what?
And they say homosexuals are destroying "marriage."
