John Edwards Engaged to Rielle Hunter?
It takes a special sort of scumbag to kick his cancer stricken wife of 32 years to the curb. He may be marrying Hunter just to set up some claim of privilege if the Feds indict him and want her to testify against him.

(Feb. 10) -- According to the National Enquirer, former Sen. John Edwards has proposed to Rielle Hunter, with whom he recently admitted fathering a child.

Citing anonymous sources, the paper claims that Edwards asked Hunter to marry him on the same day he told her that he would make an announcement confirming his paternity of Hunter's child.

"John has proposed to Rielle, and she said yes," the source is said to have told the Enquirer.

Contacted by CNN, a spokeswoman for Edwards denied that the story had any merit, calling it "absolutely untrue."

In January, in the wake of revelations about the affair with Hunter, one of Edwards' former campaign workers, John and Elizabeth Edwards formally separated after 32 years of marriage.

If confirmed, the reported union between Hunter and Edwards would cap one of the most sordid episodes in American politics, in which political fortunes and the credibility of a tabloid newspaper were transformed.

It was the National Enquirer, after all, that doggedly pursued the rumors of infidelity between Edwards and Hunter when more established news organizations shied away from the story.

As yet, however, the claim that Edwards and Hunter are engaged is based on the gossip of two unnamed sources. Similarly, the National Enquirer relied on anonymous sources when it claimed that John Edwards recently beat Elizabeth, effectively ending their relationship.

Some of the Enquirer's allegations would seem less than credulous were it not for the fact that the paper had been right about so many past ones concerning the Edwards saga, while Mr. Edwards' denials had often shown to be false.

The Enquirer's story on the engagement between Edwards and Hunter comes on the same day that Andrew Young, a former Edwards staffer, turned over an alleged sex tape of the couple to a North Carolina court.

Young wrote about finding the tape in his recently released book "The Politician," which paints an unflattering picture of both John and Elizabeth Edwards.

Edwards, meanwhile, remains under federal investigation for using campaign funds to cover up his affair with Hunter.

If true, and if Hunter accepts, then she is the real idiot because she saw what he did to his first wife and thinks the leopard won't change its spots.

RE: John Edwards Engaged to Rielle Hunter?
Kind of off topic but Grover Cleveland married a 21 year old while President who was the daughter of his former law partner (and someone he knew from her birth). They had five children together from the time he was about 55-63 - the oldest was Ruth who probably was the inspiration for the Baby Ruth candy bar.

Cleveland was a lifelong bachelor prior to his marriage but I wonder what American would think of today if a 50-something president married a 21 year old?

And two of those, their wives might have cheated with some of the same women.

Monica was barely in her 20's... and most people were pissed about Clinton's lies under oath and not the age of the participant.

I cared more about his Loral/China dealings. I didn't give a rat's ass about a BJ from a ho. That wasn't my business.

I think there were at least as many people that were pissed that she wasn't hotter.

Right, because only 3 out of the 44, of the "Most Powerful Men in the World," have ever cheated on their wives....or should we rehash political sex scandalls and try to keep score? We've tried it before, but we should probably add Whigs and Tories this time to be accurate.

Back to the subject at hand.

Yes, John Edward(s) definintely deserves the Southpark title and much, much worse than the original recipient.

He is the biggest douche of our time, and basically, a horrible person.

The Biggest Douche in The Universe

Clinton was married so that was the big deal there. Cleveland was a bachelor.

Please I pray that Jackie O was the straight shooter of those three, Chip (although she was rumored to be a drug user).

Speaking of rumors, one of the tabloids this week says Dubya and Laura are headed to splitzville.

Somehow, we haven't gotten wind of this yet.

I guess, America Wants To Know/The Globe, moves "slowly."

Tabloid update: "Laura Gets $15M Divorce Pay Off!"

If you don't do your own grocery shopping, you are missing out on a lot of entertainment.

Yesterday, for example, America Wants To Know was unloading a grocery cart in the checkout lane at a local supermarket when suddenly the Globe tabloid jumped right out of the rack and into our hands.

"Laura Gets $15M Divorce Pay Off!" the cover shouted in big yellow letters, "Bush buys wife Dallas mansion where she'll live ALONE."

Naturally we tossed the Globe onto the conveyor belt, where it rolled with the tomatoes toward the cash register.

We noticed the customer in line ahead of us tilting her head as if she was trying to read the cover sideways.

"Are you buying that magazine?" she asked.

"Yes," we answered without apology, "Gotta read all about the big divorce."

"Who's getting divorced?" she asked.

"George and Laura Bush."

The woman nodded. "She's probably sick of him," she said, "like the rest of us."

On to the story.

The Globe reports that President and Mrs. Bush have reached a "super-secret pact" to end their marriage in all but name. Mr. Bush has agreed to buy his wife "a palatial Dallas-area estate" and pay her $35,000 a month for living expenses. Mrs. Bush has agreed to drop her plans to file for divorce.

"The deal is done and finished," the Globe's source said. "She gets the home. She gets the money. She gets rid of him."

He gets the right to say he's still married to her, with the side benefit that he won't have to marry whoever's been giving him side benefits.

The Globe hints that it's Condoleezza Rice but will only say the president has a "close relationship" with his Secretary of State which "reportedly" was a "key bone of contention" in the marital split.

The First Lady, insiders tell the Globe, was absent from the White House for almost two months until aides "lured Laura back" by promising to negotiate a divorce settlement.

The Globe says the agreement calls for Mrs. Bush to appear by the president's side at "selected public events" after he leaves office.

The public will be told that George and Laura Bush are living in their new house in Dallas while he writes his memoirs and "acts as an elder statesman," the Globe's source says, "But they will NEVER, EVER live under the same roof again."

America Wants To Know suspects there's a little bit more to that non-divorce deal than the Globe thinks.

We don't believe that a house and $35,000 a month are nearly enough to persuade Laura Bush to stay married and quiet. We think she has plans to run for the U.S. Senate. Given a choice between being Mrs. George W. Bush and writing a tell-all book for millions of dollars, she'd rather be Mrs. George W. Bush.

And, we're betting, so would Condoleezza Rice.

Editor's note: Catch up on your tabloid reading with the 2006 post, "All right, let's dish," the 2007 post, "'Laura's Secret Divorce Diary,'" and the 2008 post, "'Laura Claws Boozing Bush.'"

I call BS. I don't think there's a chance in hell that Laura Bush would spend a second thinking about running for office. Most of the rest of the article sounds like crap, but this one is beyond the pale, IMHO.

Isn't Condie Rice another one who plays on the other team too? I'm so confused - do I believe the Enquirer, the Globe or US Weekly?
