For better or worse my friend, for better or worse. Little John's needs come second to his wife's health.

National Enquirer FTW! As I recall it was they who chased him into the bathroom at the BH Hilton two weeks ago. Hahahaha - love it

I agree with the poster who said "Where's Maury! We need a DNA test pronto!"

Looking around for the "transcript" of his muffled shouts from the men's room but can't find it - also he had some sort of denial news conference later in which he pouted and tossed his curls and pointed all his fingers at everyone else - "Look at Larry Craig!" - but can't find that either.

It's not about the 2008 presidential Election....yet on and on it goes...the repubs wetting their pants in delight over someone who isn't running....because they have nothing good to say about old old George McCain

Let me guess you've never happened to look at the statistics for the threads in the political section. the ones most viewed aren't even the ones really talking about anything important...

Politics at it's finest.

That crossed my mind too, but the only way I would see out of that is divorce, and that probably wouldn't go well in the public eye.

He really had no choice but to take cold showers or whatever he would do to calm his urges.

Geez, the poor woman has a terminal illness, and we are supposed to feel sorry for him because he couldn't get it when he wanted it??? Get some dirty movies or magazines if you have to, but there is NO EXCUSE for cheating on your wife, and possibly fathering a love child, while your wife battles cancer. Apparently marriage vows mean nothing??? I'm sorry, but this man is a dirtball.

OK, we likely all agree that it was an unfortunate decision to enter an affair due to mere sexual need but, keep in mind, that John Edwards is akin to a celebrity & is probably solicited by woman all over the nation. Again, it is no excuse but rather the reality for some men that they seek relations with other women.

Stupid question: How bad does this look?

Seriously, just imagine if Edwards was the Democratic nominee right now..... Sean and Bill O would tear him a new one......

Chapter 14

Looks like someone's breaking the law by admitting this too.

What a scumbag! Cheating on your terminally ill wife. Lying, repeatedly during the primary process.

And why should we believe the child is not yours, you pig?
As much as I despise his politics, this is a personal issue between him and his wife, given that he's not a candidate for office. If he ran, then it would speak to his credibility, which I never place much stock in, but for now this is personal.

Who cares? This ranks up there with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie and their million kids or Brittney Spears and her drunken stupors.
