John Edwards' other childrenHave you read the Wall Street Journal‘s review of Andrew Young’s book THE POLITICIAN about John Edwards yet?? It’s not really a review so much as a “check out all of these fucked up things John Edwards did while running for president” laundry list. +1, Wall Street Journal.

This should suffice:

Hunter’s pregnancy: According to Young, Hunter called him in May 2007 to say she was pregnant. Young says that when he informed Edwards, the senator told him to “handle it,” to which he replied: “I can’t handle this one.” Young writes that Edward unloaded on Hunter as a “crazy slut,” said they had an “open relationship,” and put his paternity chances at “one in three.” Young says that Edwards asked him for help persuading Hunter to have an abortion. Young writes that Hunter believed the baby to be “some kind of golden child, the reincarnated spirit of a Buddhist monk who was going to help save the world.”

But that last part has yet to be disproved! So until we see whether little Quinn turns out to be (a) a monstrously depressed poop-eating gonorrhea crack baby on welfare and stuff or (b) “some kind of golden child, the reincarnated spirit of a Buddhist monk who was going to help save the world,” we will withhold our verdict on whether Edwards was right to donate his seed to the lady Rielle Hunter.

(PSST: (a) IS CORRECT.)

If Andrew Young’s résumé were to cross my desk, I think I’d put on cootie-proof gloves before shit-canning it. Edwards is odious, but this Young guy is like Sully in “Avatar”: he betrays every-fucking-body. Assuming anything he says is true, Rielle doesn’t quite come off too well either.

Adios, motherfuckers!

“Young writes that Hunter believed the baby to be “some kind of golden child, the reincarnated spirit of a Buddhist monk who was going to help save the world.””

I had a boss who thought one of her employees was like that. Bat-shit crazy, that lady.

“Hunter believed the baby to be “some kind of golden child, the reincarnated spirit of a Buddhist monk who was going to help save the world.”

This is part of Edwards’ punishment for screwing around.

Good, serves him right. Sleep with crazy, live with crazy.

Just wait until they hear about this down at the mill! John Edwards will never be able to return there again.

Hunter believed the baby to be “some kind of golden child, the reincarnated spirit of a Buddhist monk who was going to help save the world.”

Translation: Hunter believed that she was gonna get some crazy-big child support.

Rielle must have been amazing in bed, because otherwise, between her stupidity, her craziness and her physical unattractiveness there’s really nothing going for her. A rich, famous, and good-looking politician should be able to do a hell of a lot better.

It was cool of Bhudda to give Elizabeth cancer so Rielle Hunter could end up as the birther of one of His monk’s reincarnated spirits. Elizabeth seems to bossy to raise the world’s savior.

Since he had a wife and a political career, I’d say it certainly was “an open relationship.”

And now he’s 0 for 2. Oy, his aching karma.

Why pay for the dying cow when you can get the spoiled milk for free?

Young describes his alleged discovery of a compromising videotape of Edwards and a naked, pregnant lover, identified by Young as Hunter. “It was like watching a traffic pileup occur in slow motion — it was repelling but also transfixing,” he writes.

I’m glad that WSJ knows people will only read the juicy stuff in this book. Kinda like fast-forwarding through lame dialogue to get the good stuff in porn.

If Washington Wire readers are interested in reading Andrew Young’s forthcoming tell-all on his decade behind the scenes with John Edwards, the story heats up on page 154…

Is it fair to ask Mr. Young why the fuck he stayed so long by Edwards’ side? Is it fair for someone so lacking in integrity to now cast stones at some poor schmuck sinner? Give us a break, go wash your own linen.

“Young writes that Hunter believed the baby to be “some kind of golden child, the reincarnated spirit of a Buddhist monk who was going to help save the world.”

When Young informed Edwards of Hunter’s beliefs Edwards replied “then call fucking Eddie Murphy.”

What parent doesn’t believe their children are “some kind of golden child who is going to save the world.”
Except for the reincarnation of Buddha part, that’s pretty much the way I feel about my kids.
I’d say this story rates as no big surprise from several angles.

Flanders January 27, 2010 at 3:48 pm

ok, I did a little more research. Turns out Edwards has a striking resemblance to Rielle’s father. Daddy issues?

Henry the Hawk was a show horse owned and ridden by 17-year-old Lisa Druck (now Rielle Hunter). Druck’s legal practice consisted of defending insurance companies against claims, and he knew that if a horse were electrocuted in a certain manner, it would be very difficult for a veterinary pathologist to find signs of foul play and the death would be chalked up to colic. According to ABC News, Druck was “a prize-winning equestrian when her father was implicated in an insidious plot to electrocute horses for insurance money…

They do the crazy stuff like road-head, butt secks, utility-closet sex, they’ll fuck you on the big pile of coats at a party, they scream, their eyes roll back in their head and they really get off on you, if they know yoga, thats extra-good, they send you nakey pictures of themselves, and they scare you just enough to make it all exciting.

Its like eating fugu, there is that delicious tingle of the poison, its exciting, if it doesn’t kill you.

Noone has mentioned it yet, but Rielle is just excactly the kind of crazy that would go fish the condoms out of the trash after he left, and squeeze out the contents into her crazy vajayjay, doing so in the firm belief that this was a necessary act, that it was imperative that she do so, precisely in order to concieve this world-saving golden child.

He’s not such a bad guy – when he found out the wife’s cancer was back, he immediately cancelled his plans to play “hide the salami” with his mistress and flew home to be with his wife. A lesser man might have used the old “couldn’t get a flight home” excuse to at least get a quickie. I wonder what the card that came with the flowers said: “Sorry I couldn’t be there with you in lovely Iowa, but I’ll be thinking about you while I’m pretending to be concerned about my wife’s pet scans. Love, Snookie.”

On men: Edwards amitted that he knew as much about men “as Larry Craig.”

On politics: Edwards admitted that he really didn’t know crap about government and politics.

Now, given that John Edwards is the lowest form of scum and Rielle is at least three kinds of nuts, still, your average 40+ gal does not just get knocked up without trying. Was Edwards dumb and gullible enough to use no birth control whatsoever — certainly plausible — or did Rielle just have her eyes on the prize (of bearing the saviour of the world, of course)? I’m not sure how much of this I really want to know, but I’ll bet there’s a good story there somewhere.

So until we see whether little Quinn turns out to be (a) a monstrously depressed poop-eating gonorrhea crack baby on welfare and stuff or (b) “some kind of golden child, the reincarnated spirit of a Buddhist monk who was going to help save the world,”

Oh, we jest because li’l Quinn Edwards-Hunter is Anglo, but when O.D.B. shows up at the Welfare to pick up his food-stamps in a limo, with one of his baby-mothers & four of his kids, plus an MTV News film-crew, suddenly it’s a huge effrontery.

Well, I’ll have you know, Edwards is dirrtier than the grimiest Bed-Stuy opium den.
