The New York Times and The New York Daily News report that Elizabeth Edwards, in an interview with Oprah to air on Thursday, states she has no idea if John Edwards is the father of Rielle Hunter’s daughter.
Despite John Edwards’ denials that he fathered a baby with his onetime mistress, his betrayed wife Elizabeth said she has “no idea” whether the former presidential candidate is a new dad.
In an exclusive interview set to air Thursday, Oprah Winfrey asks Elizabeth Edwards about rampant speculation that he is the father of campaign videographer Rielle Hunter’s one-year-old daughter.
“I’ve seen a picture of the baby. I have no idea. It doesn’t look like my children.”
Elizabeth Edwards also revealed in her recent book (excerpt here) that John had initially told her the affair was limited to a single night. When asked if she still loves John she replied, “You know, that’s a complicated question.”
While that question might be complicated, there is a very simple way to establish whether the baby is John Edwards’ daughter. Have an ambulance drive by and watch to see if she follows.
I am sick and tired of hearing the insufferable details of the sordid details of the personal lives of these white trash politicians.
Establishing the baby daddy question is a simple and painless test.
If Edwards knocked this broad up, then he had better prepare to start writing monthly checks because his family just got bigger by one.
This falls solidly into “Who cares?”.
As Henry K said, “Power is the ultimate aphrodisiac.”. The sordid part is that in America it must be hidden. I prefer Mitterand’s approach.
Aw . . . she cute! Let’s HOPE John isn’t her father — who needs that kind of a jerk for a dad?
It’s sad. It makes me think of Tim Russert. The guy was famous & hugely successful yet he never forgot his very common beginnings, and he had his priorities straight — his family came first, he loved his son and was not at all afraid to show it, every chance he got, in private and in public.
Ultimately, this was Russert’s big success — it just spilled over into his professional life.
