John Edwards to Marry Mistress Rielle Hunter?
The latest from the unending sleaze saga of John Edwards, from the New York Post:
"Disgraced former presidential candidate John Edwards has reportedly proposed to his baby mama -- and plans to buy a posh, $3.5 million beachfront home where they can live together.
Edwards popped the question last month at the same time he told his ex-mistress Rielle Hunter that he had issued a statement confirming that he indeed fathered her 2-year-old daughter Frances Quinn, The National Enquirer reported today.
Hunter said 'yes' when Edwards asked here (sic) to be his bride, the newspaper reported."

John:"Honey, I've decided to stop publicly denying my own flesh and blood, and finally divorce my innocent, suffering wife. Won't you marry me?"
Rielle:"Only if you buy me that mansion."
Classy.

Even if this comes from the Post .... I think there's a lot of truth to it.
Baby Momma is a skag just like he is. They deserve each other.

Lowdown, dirty, filthy, NASTY skanks, the both John Edwards and Rielle Hunter.
Now while I doubt that Elizabeth Edwards is entirely inncent in this situation, I still hope that she takes Big Dick (or so rumor has it) Johnny to the cleaners.

How lovely.
Tiger Woods - Best Man?
Camilla Parker-Bowles - Matron of Honor?
Tommy Lee and Pamela Anderson - videograpahers?
I wonder where they'll register...

Having an affair is not the issue.
The way he went about it without regard to his dying wife and children is what makes him a jerk.

Let's not forget that he has a big dick and totally hot. That usually matters around here.

I hope he rots in hell along with Reille Hunter. She is nothing but a tramp and a gold digger out for everything she can get from him. Hope Elizabeth takes him to the cleaners and they have nothing left. We in Iowa had to be very stopid to support this jerk. I demand my money back for this whore.

And meanwhile, same-sex marriage is illegal in South Carolina. But divorced heterosexuals can get married as many times as they want.

another great example of the protection of marriage no matter how many times they marry
for the wedding picture maybe they post some frames of their sex tapes

I hope I get an invite to the reception. I hear he asked the Dave Matthews Band to play!

Ah, and so many here were convinced he was the salvation gay America needed. Well, maybe not.

Just goes to show us that pretty words coming out of a pretty face are pretty meaningless.

who cares? no, really...

Remember, folks, this guy has been "not there yet" on marriage equality...and he's reportedly about to exercise his marriage privilege *a second time*....while being an incredibly sociopathic skankwad.
Protests at his wedding would not be unreasonable. Ditto Carrie Prejean's upcoming wedding.

Remember when Wayne Besen and Fat Pam Spaulding thought they would ride his coattails to the white house? That was a pathetic saga.

Ain't it lovely that a Democrat who ran for vice president in 2004 and president in 2008 who doesn't support marriage equality enjoys the special privilege of cheating on his cancer-stricken wife and knocking up his girlfriend? This is who the Democratic Party considers a "leader". The Democratic Party will NEVER give us equal rights.

if he'll cheat with you, he'll cheat on you.
on the other hand, if he's really in love with Rielle, then more power to both of them and I hope they have a long and loving relationship while getting their heads and their lives together. it's nobody's business.
it's better he get divorced and marry Rielle and make up for denying his own daughter, than to stay married to Elizabeth. Elizabeth is scandalous herself, and if he was doing all that crap because Elizabeth had her eyes on the prize while he just wanted to be a crystal hippy with Rielle, well.....
cancer does not give one a 'get out of being called a c*nt while being a c*nt, free' card. or at least, it shouldn't. again, nobody's business. people are allowed to be washed of their sins, if they make up for their sins.

The dot most people don't seem to be connecting here is that this guy probably lost Hillary's chances for the Nomination of the Democrat Party, if not the White House.
This guy was out there winning delegates that may or may not have gone to her. But if there was full disclosure (some say the press know about his affair during the campaign), and he was not taking out delegates early, this could have ended much differently for her.

DVDinORL, Hillary screwed herself up. That's all on her and Bill and the lies they told because winning and history was more important than governing. No one else.

Dear ZETA,
As it appears you have all the answers, I defer to your wisdom.
Posted by: DVDINORL | Feb 10, 2010 9:02:42 PM
Can someone explain to me why I should care about someone else's private life?
This seems to me to be so typical of the gawker (get your entertainment from other people's misery or by judging others) which has become very common over the past two decades. Very sad.
