"John Edwards, a former United States Senator from North Carolina and Democratic Party presidential candidate, admitted to an extramarital affair, which was initially alleged and published by The National Enquirer, an American supermarket tabloid newspaper. The story had been neglected by some members of the American mainstream media. The Enquirer cited claims by an anonymous source that Edwards had engaged in the affair with Rielle Hunter, a filmmaker hired to work for his presidential campaign, and that the relationship had produced a child."

And speaking of McInerey: Another 2,500 copies of his book Story of My Life, whose party girl character is based on Edwards' future mistress Rielle Hunter, are being printed to meet demand. It went out of stock on Amazon.
