True love people, this is true love.... "The unending soap opera that is John Edward's life has a new episode: The National Enquirer reports he has proposed to Rielle Hunter. Edwards, 56, popped the question to Hunter on the same day he told her he was finally publicly claiming paternity of daughter Frances. The former senator released the statement on Jan. 21, and six days later his wife of 32 years, Elizabeth Edwards, announced via a spokesperson that the couple had legally separated. Edwards is reportedly purchasing a $3.5 million luxury beachfront home for his new life with Hunter. An unnamed source said that Hunter's loyalty to Edwards inspired Edwards to propose. Evidently, the source said, "John has said that when his divorce is final, he'll buy her a diamond ring. But in the meantime, he's getting them a house.""
Rielle Hunter (born Lisa Jo Druck on March 20, 1964 Elizabeth Anania Edwards (born Mary Elizabeth Anania on July 3, 1949 hmmmmm
************* M*W: I always wonder why people change their names. Well, EAE acquired John Edwards last name via marriage, but Rielle Hunter changed hers for other reasons. Maybe it had something to do with her "reincarnation." She sounds pretty wierd to me. "To each, his own."
Harsh? knocking up some younger woman while your wife of 30+ years is suffering from cancer is harsh. Then to save your ass, make your staff member take in your child and girlfriend as live ins. Claim the child is his even though he's also married. Harsh? yeah. All this while running for president. Sheesh, some people.
I know that the the politicians that we see on TV are just the images that they convey, not the real them... but the impression I was getting about Edwards even since the 2004 campaign was that he's a slick asshole lawyer with no principles. (Then I saw his VP debates against Cheney and also discovered that he was an intellectual midget as well, but that's another story)... so the image he portrayed ended up being pretty close to his true self. Heh.
It wont help him in his political career. The other woman looks to be over 30 so lets not throw out strawmen.
If it's true, it only continues to confirm what a horrendously immoral charlatan this man is, something I said years ago about him.
Why did he throw it all away for a piece of ass? His marriage, his career, any respect anyone had for him...gone. all for a piece of ass.
