My family were friends with the Drucks when they lived in Ft. Lauderdale. Our children went to Pine Crest School together. We vacationed together. The girl's were sweet very smart children. I have lost touch with Lisa Jo's mother, but would love to know what happened, and why her mother is not interviewed. I am behind you Lisa and so sorry this is happening to you. Jamie sends her love

Why would people wonder why she would want a paternity test? She knows it is Edward's kid. She is being paid off and she still wants a relationship with Edwards. She has been saying that is someone else's, that patsy guy, and he is also collecting. If she has the paternity test that proves it is Edwards, it makes things worse. Then the Dem party will suspect he had reason to pay her off because he knowingly lied about when the relationship ended. Do you really think $1,000,000 to relocate her to California and the $15,000 a month during an election year came from his private funds? They are trying to avoid the hunt for the money trail.

"and hello - not having a paternity test? how many men did she sleep with in that time frame that she wouldn't want a test done? must have been a lot!"

You have it backwards... To save face he's requesting the paternity test ("I have nothing to hide, go ahead with the test") but he's requesting that test after setting her up financially and emtionally to play the protective mother who doesn't want the childs privacy invaded. Thus no test.

I mean they sure as heck couldn't have planned it the other way around, now could they.. They can't have Edwards being the one to say, "Nope. I'm not submitting my DNA."

Lastly, if it isn't his kid, why all the sneaking in and out of back entrances at the hotel around at 3 am? How many public figures do you know would risk that speculation, if the kid wasn't theirs? Hmmm?

Every person who wants to blast this dingbat for screwing Edwards, is doing exctly what all these narcissistic personality disordered jerks KNEW the public would do! Which is blame someone other than the ONE person who is entirely RESPONSIBLE FOR his actions! He is the person who made a CHOICE to take it out of his pants over and over again.

You all may want to bash this other woman (and yeah, screwing someone elses husband when they have cancer, kids and an election going on? C'mon!?!) But believe me when I tell ya... If this broad gets pissed off and starts spilling to the press all of the lies which Edwards told her regarding his wife, life and his future with her, your jaws will REALLY drop.

The baby is Edwards. Hunter is being paid off (and will continue to be.) He ran eveything he said in that interview by HIS mistress BEFORE doing the taping (to explain why he was going to say what he did. So she wouldn't get pissed and shoot her mouth off.)

And THAT is why he had that cat/canary grin. He knew he had already manipulated Hunter into accepting the B.S. and he was going to take steps (false thou they may be)to show respect for his terminal wife, while also giving the press just enough info to cause a feeding frenzy on the first day of the 2008 Games. To him I say, "Well done Mr. Edwards, well done. But I've played this chess game with the likes of you before, and I ain't buyin!"

These narcissistic freaks of nature take the cake (and anything else they can to stay in the limelight) As the shrinks say, with NPD even negative attention is still ATTENTION. As my ex lawyer who has NPD always said "make the truth work for ya." Sadly they are soooo good at deception, it took me 3 years to peice that together enough to realize that statement really means "every 3rd word I say is the truth, the other 2 words are a manipulation and a lie"

Elisabeth won't leave him. She's dying, and has too much invested, she'll stay with her family.

I think its funny that he thinks that John Edwards should have loved her. this isnt some romance novel, who says you have to love someone to have sex with them!

10.50 12.22 LOL thank god for some really funny posts (without the da*n etc on the end too! Double bonus

I'm not sure if any of you have read The Story of My Life by Jay McInerny but she inspired his main character-Alison Poole. Anyway, this character does the shadiest things like tells guys that she had sex with that she is pregnant so she can get abortion money and then her and her friends spend it on drugs.

Good person my ass.

This is in the paper just in case he does decide to run for office again, everyone should know he's a lying, cheating, pathetic hypocrite!!!

Has the beyotch ever heard of Botox.......The lights would seriously have to be out to doink this dog.

First of all, he's an arrogant pig for cheating on his wife. That said, however, why is all of this still in the news? He's not a public figure anymore - he's not running for or holding a public office. Regardless of how ugly this is, it's not any of the public's business. The story is out, now the rags need to move on. For anyone who has ever been through this as a wife, imagine how Elizabeth Edwards (and her kids) must feel having to see all this in the paper every day.

Who cares if he has any more explaining to do. The fact is he cheated on his wife by banging this dog.

She sure looks like the Camilla slut that the adulturous Prince Charles slummed with over in England. They act the same also. How could the affair have ended in 2006 when he was caught in the sluts bedroom in the early hours of the morning. The affair continues and John is trying to outdo Bill Clinton in adultry and lying. John Edwards, you make me sick.

As a resident of NC and a current breast cancer survivor, my heart aches for Elizabeth Edwards. As a former supporter of JE, words cannot begin to convey how absolutely disgusted with his actions that I am. All I can say is that Rielle must have been phenomenally talented in the bedroom because everyone can easily see that he didn't sleep with her for her looks. His wife Elizabeth is beautiful inside and out, and she certainly doesn't deserve what he has put her through. I agree that he probably only recently confessed his liaison to his wife. Why? Probably because he got caught with his pants down and could no longer continue the facade that he had not cheated. As far as him taking a DNA test to disprove paternity, why is Ms. Hunter so opposed to the idea? Obviously she has something to hide. Rielle has indicated that she doesn't want to put her child through a DNA test. Why, is it too traumatic getting her cheek swabbed with a q-tip? He is so low that I wouldn't even describe him as pond scum. He is the bacteria that feeds off the algae on the pond scum. My opinion, John Edwards go back under the rock from which you slithered. The American people don't need you and NC certainly doesn't want you!

Edwrds and his mistress both knew he was married with children and a sick wife, as far as i see it they r both lower than pond scum.
I can no longer look at his face, I change channels whne he comes on t.v.

To 9:06pm: Spot on!!! Sleeping with a married man is bad enough but one who's wife has cancer!?!?!?!? In remission at that point or not does not matter. She and women like her are a whole new level of low. Disgusting.
