And so he's done it: With less than two weeks before the DNC convention (aka D-Day), John Edwards has come clean, at least a little bit, about his extramarital relations with former webmaster Rielle Hunter — though he insists he's not the father of Frances Quinn, Hunter's new daughter.
In an interview with Bob Woodruff on tonight's Nightline, Edwards will admit he cheated on wife Elizabeth in 2006, which was after her cancer went into remission, but because of the timeline of when his affair ended and when Frances was born, he's certain he's not the dad, even without taking a paternity test.
Meanwhile, as recently as two weeks ago, when Edwards was answering reporters' questions about the scandal, he denied an affair ever took place. Liar.
So where does that leave us? Still with former campaign aide Andrew Young (a married father himself) claiming he's the father of Rielle's baby. Which means Edwards may not be the girl's daddy, but that Rielle was basically a groupie that got passed around the Edwards presidential campaign.
So, maybe now the Los Angeles Times and its media colleagues will find a reason to get on the story? Actually, why bother. Edwards breaks the news on a Friday night, and, for that matter, on the day the most-watched bi-annual sporting event is to kick off. Why not just let this revelation get lost in the weekend news cycle?

Finally, and it's about time. He admits to the affair, but not too paternity? Great now you have given the Nat'l Enquirer something else to debunk.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!JOHN EDWARDS!!!!!!!!!!WHAT THE FUCK?!
He could have fucked me and I would have kept it a secret and never had a baby.
The timing was near perfect. Late Friday afternoon on the Olympics Opening Day. Gotta give him his props on that. But come on John, if there's any chance of your kid, go ahead and admit it now before you look like an even bigger liar than you already do.
Good lord Hauslaib! Finally your prayers have been answered and you can stop posting every 5 seconds about it.
Again, he's NOT a public official and he was NEVER considered a serious VP candidate for Obama.
And lastly, does anyone want to stop and consider that maybe Elizabeth KNEW? She's on chemo, has a life-ending disease and I'm pretty certain that doesn't exactly kick a woman's sex drive up? Married couples have arrangements all the time; perhaps she just said, 'I don't want to know.'
Yea, he's a hypocrit. Yea, he lied. But he's not a public official anymore. There's a reason the Post and LA Times downplayed this: It isn't really news.
This is no big news. He's fucking gorgeous, at least it was with a woman.. LMAO… I wonder how he is in bed? His jump off is kinda fug though!
Anywhore, he should have hooked up with a black chick, she would have kept that secret 'til she was on her dying bed.. It is said that many of the participants in the Civil Rights Bill were blackmailed into signing when Johnson threatened to expose their black mistresses. Go figure… I wish I were kidding with that one..
Now the Republicans are going to try to use this against Obama. Thank God Obama waited and didn't get too chummy with Edwards on the trail..
I am always baffled by these politicians that CHEAT, RAPE, STEAL, ETC..knowing that they can get caught. Unbelievable..
I am 99% certain that George Bush is banging Condi Rice.. LOOK INTO THAT ENQUIRER!!! I would give up my left butt cheek if I am wrong on that one..
This is the best he could do?
Yeah, seriously. *This* is the best he could do.
Now I'm voting for Republican.
Don't cry for Rielle Hunter. She is "Alison Poole" from the Jay McInerney novel The Story of My Life, and she is a veteran NYC coke whore. Edwards was way out of his depth with this one.
Hillary's probably saying to herself, why the Fcuk is wan't Obama!! LMAO…
Who know John Edwards was such a hoit cocks!! The woman is FUG though.. I guess she gives great BJs!! Nothing screws up a man's mind like an amazing BJ!!
Rielle Hunter doesn't deserve to be a mother. She decided to have an affair with a married man and perhaps got pregnant on purpose or decided to go along with the pregnancy for the money. What a prostitute. I wish her all the misery in the world.
