According to John Edwards the "National Enquirer" is total tabloid trash and lies. What? Did I hear that right? The National Enquirer lied about John Edwards being the Baby Daddy. The National Enquirer lied about John Edwards having an affair. The National Enquirer lied about secret rendezvous' in hotels with his mistress.

Wait a minute. Let's take a minute to review:

Fact: John Edwards admitted that he had an affair in 2006 with Rielle Hunter.

Fact: John Edwards was at the Beverly Hilton in a secret rendezvous with Rielle Hunter until 2:30 am, (where he ran away from reporters and hid in a bathroom).

And now we are supposed to believe that "The National Enquirer" lied about the love child as well. Hmmmm, let me think about that a minute.



Something is definitely rotten in Denmark, and North Carolina and California.

What a great lawyer John Edwards is. When asked about the picture of him holding a baby, he responded, "I don't know anything about that picture, that could be me, it looks like me, it could be doctored, I don't know who that baby is."

When asked about his affair in 2006, 2007 and 2008, all responses were the same, "I don't respond to tabloid lies."

When asked if the baby was his, Edwards said he knew the child was not his, and even offered to take a paternity test. Ms. Hunter, however, refuses to have the paternity test, even though her family challenged Edwards to have the test. Things that make you go hmmmm.

Why is there no father's name on the birth certificate for the child in question?

John Edwards states that by announcing the affair to the public, he is now 99% honest.

John Edwards says he loves only one woman, his wife Elizabeth of over thirty years.

Edwards said the affair was over long ago, yet he meets with his mistress in hotels in the middle of the night, meetings that he does not tell his wife about.

Edwards repeatedly states that his wife's cancer was in remission when he had the affair. (Doesn't that make it so much better for Elizabeth?)

We feel there is no such thing as 99% honest. It's kind of like being 99% pregnant.



But giving John Edwards the benefit of the doubt, let's review what he says is fact:

1. John Edwards was having an affair.
2. John Edwards met his mistress secretly at hotels.
3. Someone paid Ms. Hunter hush money of $15,000 every month, but John knew nothing about any of the transactions or who was paying them.
4. John Edwards said he had the affair because he became narcissistic while he was campaigning.
5. John Edwards is not the baby daddy.
6. John Edwards loved his wife, and only his wife for over 30 years.
7. John Edwards has no knowledge of the photo of him and the baby.
8. John Edwards started the affair with Ms. Hunter after his wife's cancer was in remission.
9. Mr. Edwards believes that the "National Enquirer" is only tabloid trash and lies.
10. John Edwards states that this affair has been over since 2006.

OK, 99% honest. I guess it's up to each and every one of us to choose what we believe he is being truthful about and what he is being dishonest about, especially since he is not sharing exactly what he is being dishonest about.

We happen to agree with David Perel of the "Enquirer" that the only thing John Edwards has been honest about is that he is narcissistic.

The only thing that John Edwards accomplished by admitting the affair, was to leave more unanswered questions.

What we know is true:
1. His wife and family do not deserve his dishonesty.
2. He had an affair.
3. The public and his supporters have a right to know the whole truth now.
4. He is not being 100% honest.
5. Men do not meet with ex-mistresses at hotels in the middle of the night to talk.
6. Saying you timed an affair to coincide with your wife's cancer remission is lower than low.
7. You can't love your wife and only your wife when you are sleeping with someone else.
8. When you are caught, you are caught.
9. The "National Enquirer"  is doing pretty good reporting for a tabloid full of trash and lies.
10. John Edwards is narcissistic.
