DNA Test Proves John Edwards Is the Father of His Mistress' Child

Hold on to your housecoat.  John Edwards is the father of his mistress, Rielle Hunter's, one-year-old daughter, Frances Quinn.  (And no, there will be no further definitions of is, John.)  Despite previous refusals to grant a DNA test, Rielle ultimately agreed to have her daughter tested because, according to a friend, "She was worried about getting long-term financial support for her daughter. So she hired an attorney, and John consented to undergo a secret swab test to establish paternity."

According to multiple sources "John begged Rielle not to get an abortion", has been paying her $15,000 monthly in child support, and "always knew he was the father of Rielle's baby".

As did the rest of the country. It seems like the only one in denial was his cancer-stricken wife of 30 years, Elizabeth.  It's about to get much worse.  John may be headed to jail.

Just before the bombshell paternity news broke, Rielle spent 9 hours on Thursday testifying against John Edwards as a "government witness" in the federal grand jury investigation that is looking into whether he
broke campaign finance laws by secretly paying her to keep quiet. Her testimony could end up sending John to jail.

According to a friend "Rielle is not dumb. She knew the feds had subpoenaed her bank statements and knew about every payment she received.  The FBI told her it was in her best interests to tell the truth, and she did. And unlike the others who have testified, Rielle was driven to the court by FBI agents and escorted in by them. She got favorable treatment because she testified against John."

John claimed his affair with Rielle ended in 2006. (I'm no biology wizard but I'm going to go with LIE. I used a calculator and everything.)  That year, John's political action committee paid Rielle's video production firm $100,000 for "work".  (Checks were made out to her hoo-ha.)  Then the committee paid another $14,086 on April 1, 2007 supposedly as the first of many "hush payments".

It's obvious who the real innocent victims are here.  The woman who was known to introduce John as "the love of my life for the last thirty years" and her three children.   And my eyeballs for having to look at his face for the last hour.

Both times he ran for President I was in his corner. This just sickens me. The whole ordeal and not because I think he was wronged. We were lied to and just looking at him now makes me feel dirty.

Do you know how hard it is now going to be to resist responding, "My hoo-ha." whenever I hear someone say, "Who should I make the check out to?"

[Beth]

Man, I am so disappointed. I really believed in John Edwards and I thought he would do such good things for our country.

I feel exceptionally bad for his wife who seemed to believe that he was telling her the truth. How horrible to be her today.

[Boston Mamas]

That's so appropriate you have a Douchebag of the Week category. And so deserved that he's in it. This sickens me. My heart goes out to Elizabeth and the kids. -Christine

I was working on Capitol Hill when he first got elected to the Senate and came within inches of running over his lost, jaywalking ass one morning. This almost makes me wish I had hit the gas instead of the brakes.

Nobody has looked at this from HIS perspective.

Because it's gross.

[AmyH]

Yeah, because just LOOKING at her wasn't enough. She is his spitting image. And he is a total jerk for denying her all of this time.

I was having a heated discussion with one of my friends during the primary. So after we're chatting, she said, "Well, I love that he's hot and has a chunky wife. That's endearing." The next week this story broke. I was mean and emailed it to her, but she was gracious and laughed.

What. An. A$$!!!!!! I am so disappointed in him, I'm a little nauseous. Elizabeth Edwards comes off as such a stand up, strong, wonderful person. Hasn't she been through enough? I agree with Michelle above......how has she NOT punched his lights out?! I'll hold him down Elizabeth, you get your pointiest stilettos on and KICK!

[The Mother Tongue]

I feel so sorry for Elizabeth Edwards that she feels like she has to stick with this jerk because she's dying and doesn't have the time and energy to start over.

[funda62]

[BaltimoreGal]

Just laughed out loud at work!

[indycitygirl]
