John Edwards confessed to hiring a no-talent hack to film his campaign trips for over $114,000 and then reaming her out like a prostitute at every campaign stop while his wife was at home with the kids rotting from the inside out with incurable cancer. He lied during the Presidential campaign about the affair, but he is definitely not lying now when he says he is not the whore’s father. I think we need to call Maury.

From ABCNews here:

Edwards told ABC News correspondent Bob Woodruff he did have an affair with 44-year old Rielle Hunter, but said that he did not love her. Edwards also denied he was the father of Hunter’s baby girl, Frances Quinn, but he has not taken a paternity test.

Edwards met Rielle Hunter at a New York city bar in 2006. His political action committee later paid her $114,000 to produce campaign website documentaries despite her lack of experience. Edwards said the affair began during the campaign after she was hired. Hunter traveled with Edwards around the country and to Africa.

Edwards said he told his wife, Elizabeth, and others in his family about the affair in 2006. Edwards made a point of telling Woodruff that his wife’s cancer was in remission when he began the affair with Hunter. Elizabeth Edwards has since been diagnosed with an incurable form of the disease.

Edwards today admitted the National Enquirer was correct when it reported he had visited Hunter at the Beverly Hills Hilton last month. His wife had not known about the meeting.

Since becoming pregnant, Hunter has lived under assumed names in a series of expensive homes in North Carolina and, more recently, in Santa Barbara, Calif. Edwards denied paying any money to Hunter to keep her from going public.

Hot Air is whooping it up. And they are really pissy over at Kos.
