Media Keeps John Edward's Affair Under The Covers
Many viewed John Edwards, former Democratic Presidential hopeful, as a possible running mate for Barack Obama in his 2008 election bid. It was also rumored that Edwards had shown interest in the Attorney General position.
But Edwards finds himself in a scandal now, that shocks Democrats and Republicans alike. The National Enquirer first reported that Edwards and former campaign staffer, Rielle Hunter, have not only been having an affair, but have also conceived a love child from this union.
It seems reporters from the National Enquirer had staked out the Beverly Hilton and confronted Mr Edwards at 2:40am on Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008 coming out of Ms. Hunter's hotel room. A comical, mad dash by a very pale Mr. Edwards found him hold up in a hotel bathroom until security was able to escort him out.
Main stream American media sources including Fox News and the NY Times are finally giving some coverage, and some verification to this story, but one does have to wonder, why the silence until now? Would it make a difference if Edwards was a Republican? Is this secrecy due to respect for Edward's wife, Elizabeth, who is suffering from terminal cancer? Or is it because Edwards is not currently running for any office, so who really cares?
Even Wikipedia, a free online encyclopedia, are not allowing their site to be updated to mention the scandal, referencing tabloid style references that are not allowed on their site. For a good laugh to start your day, please read through the Wiki debate that is ongoing as to whether to publish or not to publish the story. Not to mention the fact they we recall a certain wrestler's death that was published on Wikipedia before police even broadcast the tragic news.
Whatever the reason, it seems this rumored scandal has finally picked up enough steam, not to mention pictures, to bring John Edwards to the forefront as yet another political hopeful involved in immoral behavior.
