John Edwards- Daddy? Duh!

Notes of Concern…..

DADDY? DUH!

Recent news reports indicate former United States Senator John Edwards, who is also a former candidate for Vice President of The United States and for the presidential nomination of his party, plans to announce that he is, indeed, the father of Rielle Hunter’s daughter.

DUH!

Did Senator Edwards really think this would come as news?

Let us recap the facts.

He has a wife in stage- four cancer (terminal).
He meets a woman, unknown to him, who simply states “you are so hot!”
He is so lacking in any sort of moral fortitude, and she is so lacking in any sort of real values ,that the two of them move from that introduction straight to the suite he enjoys in a local hotel.

After this first romp, he decides (surprise) he would like to have her around on a more permanent basis. So he arranges to hire her to prepare videos of his appearances around the land.

Following on a continued period of fun and games, during which time he is selling himself to all of us as a great husband and father, and profoundly prepared to be a great president, Ms. Hunter manages to get pregnant. Of course, she does not manage to do this alone.

The Senator, being a smart fellow, now thinks that it would be best if she were no longer around on “a more permanent basis.”

A conundrum for the good Senator from North Carolina.

How do you get the pregnant Ms. Rielle Hunter off the campaign plane without really ticking her off.

The answer, as always, is money.

So you play it straight with a very few of your closest advisors, each of whom has dreams of his own should you become president.

To the guy who works hard for you but has no money, you suggest he say he fathered this child. The little problem of his own wife and children set aside, the loyal aid agrees.

To the guy who has been dumping large sums of money into your campaign, hoping for a return on his investment, you suggest a marvelous house in a really posh neighborhood would be a great hideout for the mother to be.

Surprise! All the BOZOS agree.

So Ms. Hunter repairs to the beautiful home to await the birth of the baby.

The upstanding Senator continues his campaign, with his cancer-ridden wife at his side and his kids smiling for all the pictures.

Fast forward.

Hunter has a baby girl.
Edwards doesn’t get nominated.
The press gets the story.

Mr “standup guy” denies he fathered the baby.

Ms. Hunter makes no comments but refuses a paternity test.

Hope springs eternal for Ms. Hunter. After all, the first Mrs. Edwards doesn’t have a long lease on life and Ms. Hunter continues to hope to become the second Mrs. Edwards.

The Senator’s wife goes national. She talks to Oprah and others. She tells her story.

Everyone wonders why she doesn’t throw the bum out.

Think about it.

She is a woman with a death sentence. She has kids. When she is gone only Daddy remains. She isn’t about to blow it all because her husband is a hollow excuse for a human being. She is thinking about her kids. They have to live with him after she is gone. She needs to help him get back whatever stature he can. Another lost cause.

Ms. Hunter, however, realizes she needs to increase the pressure. So as I write she is testifying to a grand jury.

Also, the fellow who agreed to take the fall for “Hot Johnny” has decided he isn’t going to be Chief of Staff in an Edward’s White House so he has to set things right with his wife and kids.

He is writing a book stating that Edwards is the real father of Rielle’s baby. In addition, he is testifying to the grand jury.

What grand jury you might ask.

The one empanelled to determine if the payments from the Edwards for President Campaign to Rielle Hunter were really for film work! RIGHT. Wink wink!

You couldn’t make this stuff up folks!!!!

And the really scary part of all this is how many people in America actually wanted this jerk to be president.

We are reminded to be careful what we wish for.
