Save this clip, he did it and just the look on his face tells everyone he did it. He had to hide in the bathroom, for crying out loud. The photos will come out, then we’ll get more lies from John about what exactly he was doing there lurking in the corridors. Soon after, an apology from Edwards, with his faithful wife at his side, a mere “indescretion” a la slick Willy. This may well close the door on a completely bufoon of a senator, who couldn’t even deliver North Carolina, much less his birth state of South Carolina, for another bufoon, John Kerry.

johnnie says: “I didn’t have sex with that woman.”

olddog   July 23rd, 2008 - 5:03 pm

Typical liberal, putting themselves ahead of all else, including family. If you had a wife/husband suffering from terminal cancer would any of you be anywhere but by their side as much a possible? In LA for a “homeless solutions” meeting? I doubt a homeless person would think any less of Mr. Edwards for staying home with his wife under those circumstances, that is unless they too were a liberal.

BUSTED!

Slick Willie   July 23rd, 2008 - 5:05 pm

What a photo/op, he looks like the last Oreo cookie in the box. Surround yourself with the people that understand you!

Dudley Smith   July 23rd, 2008 - 5:07 pm

Wow. He so did it.

peter c   July 23rd, 2008 - 5:11 pm

It’s just like Gore, Kerry,Clinton ,Obama and all the other Libs out there to lie and say” The debate is over.”
“I’m not talking about that”
“I did not have sexual relations with that woman”
“My grandmom is a racist”
“I never heard Wright say anyuthing bad….so there is nothing to say about it anymore”
Ther’re all Godless phony lying cowards!
Vote McCain to save us from them.

Nice way to do your sick wife! Just think how jonny guy would do America. Obama once again has shown a total lack of judgement in concidering this guy for a vice pres. Democrat controlled congress 9 percent approval rating the worst in U.S. HISTORY!

Jeff   July 23rd, 2008 - 5:53 pm

They way I understand it there was no sexual relation,they were just trading hairstyling tips!

Robert Henry   July 23rd, 2008 - 6:24 pm

Don’t you just love it?? He is Sooooo busted, so what does he do? Deny, deny, deny!!! Thank the good Lord that his political career is over!!! He’ll be apologising soon, exactly like “Linda Tripp” posted above. With a dying wife at home, he’s not ever going to be forgiven, not even by most liberals!!

MMS Florida   July 23rd, 2008 - 6:27 pm

Wow that look the He gave told the whole story, as In “HOW DARE YOU ASK ME THIS” Ha Ha He is a big liberal lying asshole and He deserves this big time the cheating lying jerk.

m-antony   July 23rd, 2008 - 6:28 pm

Remember when ogumby had his(Edwards) endorsement? Remember when ogumby had Gore endorsement? Wacko, global warming may not even exist.Remember when Kennedy(cause his brain to fail) Remember Wright? Thump!Richardson(hugging Chavez)? Ahmadineajhad(his unconditional lover)? This guy surrounds himself around questionable peeps.

Marc Jeric   July 23rd, 2008 - 6:37 pm

A functional moron whose looks and behavior approach those of a real creep – that’s the famous ex-senator who got rich accusing doctors for causing new-born babies to be sick. Since then the unnecessary caesarian sections tripled!

NotObama   July 23rd, 2008 - 6:38 pm

SOOOOOOO BUSTED….. Democrats…. LOL FAIL

RC   July 23rd, 2008 - 6:38 pm

Nice response from the Breckgirl.

I especially like how he begins his answer. He begins with “I don’t know what you’re talking abou…”, then remembers ‘uh-oh there were pictures taken’, and goes straight into CYA mode with “I don’t talk about tabloid stories”.

I hope his wife has the brains to take him to the cleaners and resist being used as a stage prop for the inevitable “I made a one-time mistake” press conference.

no_slappz   July 23rd, 2008 - 6:50 pm

This is not the story I wanted to read about Edwards. I would not have voted for him under any circumstances, but I figured he was unlikely to have a serious girlfriend AND a love-child AND a dying wife. But, then again, he’s a personal injury lawyer, which means he’s utterly heartless and willing to lie to anyone, including his dying wife.

ACLOVER   July 23rd, 2008 - 7:21 pm

Ann Coulter is fat.

the Dude   July 23rd, 2008 - 7:27 pm

The man is an idiot and embarrassment, but a star as far as the Obama campaign goes – go figure.

Airwick   July 23rd, 2008 - 7:31 pm

This is sort of like when the Democrats accused John McCain of fathering a black child out of wedlock, right?

Wait…that was Rove. Oops…my bad!

FunTime   July 23rd, 2008 - 7:50 pm

John is innocent and this is the fault of Rove!

Obama will silence this type of thing and put the Enquirer out of business by mid-2009.

Silence all dissent! Bring us Utopia at last! We need you Obama!

Dr Max H   July 23rd, 2008 - 8:42 pm

Just Notice how Edwards eyes flicker when he is lying. What a dead give-away. Truly, you have to wonder how Edwards was able to convince local North Carolina juries to vote for his cases. Watch Edward’s face when he speaks: there is such a twist of lies and deceits in his face that it is startling to watch. I understand that in one of Edwards’ big cases, he convinced a NC jury to belief in Junk science by channeling the supposed gushing words and teary feelings of a baby being born with birth defects because the doctor supposedly did not deliver it quickly enough. After the jury awarded millions to Edward’s clients, it was discovered that the birth defects have nothing to do with how a doctor performs during the delivery.—But truth and science never mattered to John Edwards. Only the millions he has stolen from good doctors in North Carolina. I guess this is what makes him such a perfect democrat: his willingness to stare truth in the face and lie his ass off.

Airwick   July 23rd, 2008 - 8:52 pm

“His willingness to stare truth in the face and lie his ass off”…sort of reminds me of someone else that holds a higher office.

I do agree with you on one thing…most lawyers are scumbags–but that includes Conservatives, too.

Felix   July 23rd, 2008 - 9:12 pm

Not as trashy as your mistress John. Man have you seen pictures of this ginch ! Surely you can do better than that John !

lewinskyish   July 23rd, 2008 - 9:15 pm

OMG. He’s so guilty…look at his face. I smella Clinton behind this. If I were Bill Richardson, I’d just go ahead and tell BO to take my name off the list!

Mr.P   July 23rd, 2008 - 10:25 pm

Well,its either true or it is’nt.Seeing that the Breck Girl made his fortune by suing large Corporations and fooling braindead juries into believing he could ‘channel’ the thoughts of the dead,lets see him get his ass out of this one.
The National Enquirer is’nt exactly a honest publication.They’ve been sued many times and lost large $$$awards$$$.I would think they got it right this time,or Edwards will own them.

I can’t stand the phony girlyman and if its true,I’ll say !Crash & Burn Edwards!

We’ll see I guess.

Obama   July 23rd, 2008 - 10:48 pm

Hope his wife dies painfully!

ObEddie   July 24th, 2008 - 12:55 am

Based on Obama’s judgement track record, Edwards will be his VP pick.

Obama-Edwards ‘08

Nick Mitchell   July 24th, 2008 - 1:32 am

At least when Democrats get busted for sex, there’s usually a chick somewhere in the mix. With the Republicans, god knows what you’ll find – two guys giving each other blowjobs in the bathroom stall, child rape…It’s a real horror show – hide your pets, too. Still, it looks like Edwards is a big fat liar.

Smokey Word   July 24th, 2008 - 1:50 am

Personally I could care less who he is having sex, or a lesion with.

This guy got caught nothing more needs to be said. Do not let this go public! There are enough pretenders in office already and regardless of what side of the aisle they are on I say when caught lets dump them.

The aggravating thing is they know they are under the microscope and are still arrogant enough to try and get away with this kind of behavior – one has to assume they think they are better than the average citizen.

I bet if he were representing a wife in a divorce case with these facts he would be crucifying a guy named John Edwards.

The truth will set you free!

Are You People For Real???????   July 24th, 2008 - 8:19 am

Are you people NUTS!!!!!

This is the N.E. reporting this story. Have you folks ever read this rag? Aliens, Elvis Alive, George Bush is an Alien, Elvis Alive Again, More Aliens, Elvis Taken In Spaceship……..etc, etc, etc.

Let’s see the pictures, then we can talk, until then you are all a bunch of right wing tools!

RETREAD   July 24th, 2008 - 9:50 am

Wasn’t the ENQUIRER the publication that knew about the ” blue Dress” even when Geraldo and the rest of the papers where ridiculing the notion of such a ridiculous thing ??

flounder   July 24th, 2008 - 11:51 am

National Enquirer has more credibility than Dan Rather….

James   July 24th, 2008 - 12:52 pm

John Edwards is a shameless populist but all these conservatives here should remember that most of the Republican Party is homosexual (not that theres anything wrong with that).

David Dreier, Ken Mehlman, Larry Craig, Mark Foley Jeff Gannon, Ted Haggard, Bob Allen Glenn Murphy Jr. Karl Rove (yeah Gannon met with him).

Thats quite a list there conservatives. Big Tent Hypocrite party.

Oran "Juice" Jones   July 24th, 2008 - 12:56 pm

It was so quiet in there you could hear a dildo drop.

B H O   July 24th, 2008 - 1:55 pm

This is not the John Edwards I knew.

In fact, I blame George Bush.

Mike M   July 24th, 2008 - 5:58 pm

It’s kinda cute that he standing in front of an ACORN banner – another bunch of fraudsters who get public funding but use it to shill for liberal votes from illegals, dead people, bums off the street, etc. Cut off ACORN from public funds and stop electing frauds like Edwards who profited handsomely from sub prime loans to Katrina victims in NOLA. (He even tried to DENY that too!…)

The Desperate Press   July 25th, 2008 - 3:52 pm

It amazes me how far in the bag the press is for the Democrats. The only major news outlet to report this is FOX. Had this been ANY Republican, we would have been bombarded with this story. Seems like John Edwards’ chickens. . . are comin home to hatch!

doug   July 25th, 2008 - 4:56 pm

Now maybe the press will talk about the real Edwards:
A slimy lawyer who destroyed good dedicated doctors with lies
A slimy lawyer who used his ‘charm’ and lies to convince stupid juries to drain cash from insurance companies and line his pockets with millions
Forced OBs out of business due to high insurance rate, next time a women wonders why there are no new OBs or why her doctor retired early, she can thank Edwards.
A slimy lawyer who lives like a king but all he talks about is poverty
Cheats on his sick wife, and risk her dying days to be filled with public humiliation, which has now come to pass,…. I would welcome a moritroum on Edwards bashing until his wife has completed her ordel, then let wrath of God upon him.

libocrat   July 25th, 2008 - 10:51 pm

He ran into the bathroom because he had a hair out of place. Everyone visits the other woman with 2 suites at the Hilton and leaves at 2:40 am via the basement.
Nothing to see here!!

Libs you suck.

ann   July 27th, 2008 - 7:35 pm

Ask yourself what kind of a man drags his wife out to campaign for him while undergoing chemo, a selfish bas— that’s what kind. It was always obvious looking at them it was all about him. As far as the enquirer, they were right about monica, right about frank gifford and I’m sure right about pretty boy and I’d believe them before rather sad to say.

Tilghman   July 28th, 2008 - 2:23 pm

I despise John Edwards and also the National Enquirer. Where are the pictures? John Edwards is a slime bucket who will lie if it suits his purpose, then again, the National Enquirer is a slim rag and has lied many times and been caught. We would be better off without both.

NC Conservative   July 29th, 2008 - 8:00 am

Whew, I thought he was a fag!! He walks, talks, and acts like one, but good old “Two Americas” is a hetrosexual!!! Maybe he’s Bisexual…nah, he’s just an asshole typical, two-faced liberal MF’r who should move back to his “roots” in So Carolina and get the hell out of Chapel Hill (sorry SC, but you bred ‘em, you own ‘em).

hahahahahahahhahahaha   July 29th, 2008 - 3:20 pm

oh my god, you have to be kidding me, economy garbage, stock market garbage, housing garbage, at war for no reason, osama still out there, america in debt more then ever, everything looks to be horrible, but the true stupid people posting hater comments about liberals, i say vote republican lets see how far they can destroy this country. morons get a clue. better things to talk about…… over 4000 troops dieing in iraq so far, but THIS is the topic that gets your blood boiling, hahahahahahaha, please don’t have any kids, stupid parents only raise stupid kids.

RealVermontMan   July 30th, 2008 - 12:30 am

hahahahahaha, you are obviously eminently qualified to have made your last statement.

[...] built with John’s lawyerly riches, is also a mystery. Edwards’ stuttering non-denial last week — awkwardly preserved on video here — was just an attack on the Enquirer as "tabloid trash, full of lies." Yes, John, fine. [...]

Eric   July 31st, 2008 - 10:06 am

This should really help him as a democrat.

Bill   July 31st, 2008 - 10:11 am

I think his girlfriend is kind of cute.

Pammie   August 2nd, 2008 - 8:08 pm

He’s a slimeball jerk.
Always has been.
Always will be.

sdc63   August 2nd, 2008 - 9:18 pm

Hey “Obama” – that’s an original name boy. Edwards is certainly a creep but why pick on his dying wife. She has enough problems apart from your best wishes. You are also a creep. More than that I can’t post online. Have a nice life…… Not.

PeteMc   August 3rd, 2008 - 5:51 am

Oh Obama, please use this guy as your running mate!

tarbaby   August 6th, 2008 - 10:50 pm

“waah! My daddy’s a Demmycrat! Waaah! All I do is whine all day. I learned this from my daddy.” Sorry, I was chanelling Edwards’ bastard daughter for a second there.

John Edwards is an amoral, ambulance-chasing, bisexual, hypocrite fascist who’s 15 minutes of fame are up.

It is so typical of B. Hussein Osama and the rest of his incompetent campaign staff that he’d actually seriously consider this ass-kissing leech for his VP.

[...] the Democrat’s denunciations, the “tabloid trash” clearly has the better record of truth-telling, and never once has Edwards — or any lawyer [...]
