Here's the National Enquirer article re John Edwards, garbage that it is.

Source: National Enquirer

The woman linked to Presidential candidate John Edwards in a cheating scandal is more than six months pregnant and telling a close confidante that Edwards is the father of her unborn child, The NATIONAL ENQUIRER has learned exclusively.

snip...

But The ENQUIRER has now confirmed not only that Rielle is pregnant, but she is also living in Chapel Hill, N.C. in a gated community, just a few streets away from Andrew Young, who has been a key official in Edwards' campaign.

Young has been in charge of looking after Hunter, according to sources, and she has been careful to stay out of sight during Edwards' campaign. A former Director of Operations for Edwards' campaign, Young's last official position with the campaign was North Carolina Finance Director.

He left that job about a month ago — nearly the same time Rielle relocated from the New Jersey area to Chapel Hill.

In a bizarre twist, Young, a 41-year-old married man with young children, now claims HE is the father of Reille's baby.

But others are skeptical about his claim and talk of a political cover up is heating up.

Reille, when contacted in person by the NATIONAL ENQUIRER, denied that she was Reille Hunter. Later, she hired a lawyer and issued a statement, saying that Young is the father.

1. Yeah.....and bigfoot lives around the block.

[OHdem10]

2. Since we are doing Enquirere and Globe as Credible

How many of you saw a current copy in Grocery Stores
regarding a more than friendly relationship between
Obama and Oprah--Stedman out.

Iread about this in the Checkout Line at the Local Krogers.

I deliberately did not mention it until now, the Enquirer
Story about Edwards.

[ingac70]

5. The Enquirer did scoop the story about Rush and hillbilly heroin

so who knows....

[msongs]

3. maybe it's obama's baby....or hillary's....or huckabee's? nt

[jezebel]

4. I'd put money on Rudy ;) nt

nt

[greyghost]

6. Indeed, Rudy would be the logical choice. eom

[Nedsdag]

34. What about Bill?

His sperm seems to be all over the place.

[olddad56]

13. I'd say that if Huckabee was involved, it could be another case of immaculate conception.

and the woman will be giving birth to the next baby Jesus.

[CTyankee]

49. No, Hillary was hiding an alien baby in the basement of the White HOuse.

I remember that one from a few years back...

[DURHAM D]

7. I am not an Edwards fan but I don't buy this story.

I can not see John having an affair - I just can't.

Some of the other candidates - YES - but not John.

I think she is probably Trippi's girlfriend.

[MissDeeds]

8. And the reason you are bringing this "story" to us is...? n/t

[Andy823]

30. I bet that

They are backing Hillary or Obama, what do you think? Kind of like all the other cheap tactics going on these days to make someone look bad, without really coming out and slinging the mud!

[Donnachaidh]

43. by george I think you've got it!

The Clobama crowd has been trying to run with this garbage all day.

[focusfan]

9. I don't believe John Edwards would do that to Elizebeth

he just doesn't come off like the cheating kind and besides
the repukes could have got this woman up to say Edwards is
the father.

[yardwork]

10. A gated community in Chapel Hill? Where?

[DURHAM D]

11. Governor's Club and Chapel Ridge are both

in the area. Chapel Ridge is pretty close to where John and Elizabeth live.

[rockybelt]

12. Proof that Edwards is gaining ground

The only question is who started this rumor. Was it the repulsives or Hillary?

[emilyg]

35. Grow-up.

[Stewie]

47. Or it's proof he's finished after he tanks in Iowa and S.C....

...and the Enquirer wants to make their blood money now, rather than wait until no one cares about him.

[1corona4u]

14. 2 words, paternity test.

[bvar22]

38. 6 words:

It is NONE of our business!

Wasn't anything learned during Big Dog's impeachment?

This is a private matter.
I care only that the mother is getting good pre-natal care no matter who the father is or isn't.

Gossip maongers should be ashamed.

DU has really changed.

[1corona4u]

39. I care...

if we are going to elect a duplicitous person, I'd like to know in advance.

[Adelante]

15. God, what a story

She looks like she's nine months pregnant already. She moves to Chapel Hill one month ago presumably to give birth in that particular place. The campaign aide leaves the campaign at the same time to look after her, so they say. It's getting like a movie script. What's next, I wonder.

[Bluebear]

16. Oprah tells Stedman: "I don't love you anymore!" Obama tore them apart.

Nuff said.

[L84TEA]

17. I honestly can't believe someone

would even post that on DU, This is garbage... we are truth seekers not.. a rag forum.
stupid..should be deleted.

[rucky]

18. Maury Povich will settle this.

who daddy?

True or not - this is gonna hurt just by being out there, as responsible and committed to the truth our mainstream media is these days.

[Adelante]

19. This one is going MSM, I expect

John Edwards has a problem on his hands.

[1corona4u]

20. Yeah, and all the

ladies at the supermarket wil be staring it in the face, and reading it while they wait in line...true or not, it might have an impact. Personally, I'd like to see a paternity test, before the GE. That would rule out any speculation...

[Adelante]

27. Reading it while they wait in line,

thinking about his wife with terminal cancer. Oy.

[1corona4u]

40. Is her cancer terminal?

I didn't think that was the case?

[Adelante]

46. From all I've read, it is

Perhaps something's changed in the diagnosis I've missed.

[CTyankee]

50. Hey, WesDem, enough tut-tutting! I'm beginning to think you are

actually enjoying this story.

Without more, I say we turn off the lights on this story...

[Adelante]

51. Feel free to think whatever you like

But don't tell me what to do.

[CTyankee]

53. I wouldn't presume to do so. It was just "a word to the wise" being sufficient.

OK?

[rucky]

21. Didn't they try to do a Kerry mistress story last time?

that didn't stick, so we can only hope this one doesn't.

[Adelante]

23. There wasn't a very pregnant "mistress"

Who moved from a different state to a short distance from his house one short month ago. That's what's going to make this a real story. If there is no truth to it, Edwards has got to sue right away.

[cali]

25. He needs to sue and fast

I suspect you're right about the MSM picking it up.

[MonkeyFunk]

26. nah

suing would be stupid.

[Adelante]

28. You don't think it would be a good backup to a denial? nt

[MonkeyFunk]

31. No, I don't

[laureloak]

22. Fabrications against connected attorneys?

Somebody's pretty stupid.

[surfermaw]

24. Oh my, someone must be afraid of Edwards..better find a better story to tell.

[youthere]

29. Problem is, if MSM reports on this, true or false...

it will be "out there" and no matter how many times it's refuted people will still believe it. What's that saying? A lie will make it halfway around the world before the truth can get it's pants on (Is that right?)

[emilyg]

36. I think Ann C already basking in this.

[youthere]

37. Oh fer fucks sake.

the flying monkeys are swooping.

[JDPriestly]

32. Eight or Nine months ago was when John and Elizabeth Edwards

were dealing with Elizabeth's health. I doubt that this story is true.

At a March 22, 2007 press conference,<7> John and Elizabeth Edwards announced that her cancer had returned, and that his campaign for the Presidency was continuing at full steam. They said that she is asymptomatic, and that she expects to continue actively campaigning while undergoing treatment.<8> Her doctor, Dr. Lisa Carey of the University of North Carolina's Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, described the diagnosis as stage IV (metastatic) breast cancer with a spot in her rib and possibly her lung. In a March 25 interview on 60 Minutes, Edwards said that there was also a spot in her hip found on her bone scan.<9> The Edwardses and Dr. Carey stressed that the cancer is not curable, but is treatable.<7><10> As of April 2, 2007 Edwards was informed that her cancer may be treatable with anti-estrogen drugs. "I consider that a good sign. It means there are more medications which I can expect to be responsive," she told the Associated Press during a campaign stop with her husband in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.<11>

[Andy823]

33. Wow, two people

reccomened this crap. I guess it takes all kinds to "smear" someone!

[Inspired]

45. I wish this was like dailykos and we could see who recommends.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

41. Let's all listen to what Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter have to say about this...

as long as we're paying attention to reliable sources of info.

[JackORoses]

42. this is the kind of story that the msm loves, true or no

[Lilith Velkor]

44. "Maw, Maw, where's my Paw?"

"Gone to the White House, haw haw haw."

Some things never change.

[MethuenProgressive]

48. How will the Edwards supporters blame this on Hillary?

[Evergreen Emerald]

52. this is very similar to a story about Bush

that went around the internets a few years ago.
