Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs

The birth certificate of the child allegedly fathered by John Edwards doesn't identify the girl's father. McClatchy obtained the certificate for Frances Quinn Hunter, born to mother Rielle Hunter Feb. 27, two months after an Edwards aide claimed to be the baby's father.

"A lot of women do that."

They do?

I'm very happy that the MSM won't cover this story
- it is clearly sellacious, divisive & offensive.

John as VP to Obama?
WOW - I have a double man-crush!

Be Well!

D-N-A! D-N-A! D-N-A! D-N-A!

If it's true that Edwards is the father, I imagine he paid the Mama of his baby a
pretty penny to leave the name of the Daddy a blank space.

How unfair to do to his own daughter -- leaving a blank for the father's name on her birth certificate, something which will be used as a major identity document for the rest of her life.

Sew buttons. I don't even have a place listed for "place of birth", just the city.

Paternity tests are cheap and easy. Until we see the results of one, I don't think there is a story worthy of publication.

Even then -- who cares? Isn't it between Edwards, his wife, and the child's mother? The public does not need to get involved with this drivel.

Looks like more circumstantial evidence against the attorney Edwards. I wonder whether he knows a good counsel, it's Mrs Edwards on the phone...

You'd figure that the Right learned their lesson with McCain's Illegitimate Black Bay-Mama.

Nothing is below the Right's strategy. They are trying to trash and tarnish Edwards before Obama can select him as a VP or potential AG of the U.S.

This is the new Motto the right should be lobbying for:

Truth - We Don't Need No Stinkin' Truth!

There is one way for him to clear the whole thing up. Is he man enough to do it or is he a slim ball snake?

Hey Sniper

Stop insulting snakes! He's lower than that ...

He's scumb..

Just prowling the basement in Hollywood in the middle of the night... totally innocent, an innocent victim.

Or perhaps he was just out picking some low hanging fruit. If it was good enough for his campaign worker, it must have been good enough for him...

ROFLMAO!!!!!

My God...another Virgin birth!

Yes, they do. I you google up (with quotes included) "single-motherhood by choice" the first entry you get is:

www.amazon.com

which is a guidebook on the whole subject.

Methinks I will buy a copy and send it to Barack Obama so he gets a clue.

"Isn't it between Edwards, his wife, and the child's mother? The public does not need to get involved with this drivel."

Yep, kind of like the way they treated Craig and Foley. The way the Dems here think, the Repubs are doing this before the Anointed One picks his VP. In reality if it was the stunt the Dems claim, wouldn't it be a lot more effective after the Anointed One picked Edwards. That would be a slam dunk for sure. So as you can see the Dems blame the Repubs regardless of what it is and if the Repubs act like the Dems then they whine and cry fowl.

KBM-

That would be a really smart and savvy response, had you not made the whole thing up and then responded to it as if someone else had actually said it.

Talk about a rumor which gives right wingers a hard on? LOL. Unfortunately, unless a paternity test is conducted and it is confirmed he is not the father, this rumor may well ruin his future in public life.
Question: If they do a paternity test and he is not the father, will vicious assholes like KBM publicly apologize to Edwards here on the DR?

Yep, kind of like the way they treated Craig and Foley

KBM

Craig and Foley were railing against homosexuals.

They're hypocrites. There's the difference. The GOP - all 'moral values' heavies, get caught doing the very same thing they rail against.

Besides, this Edwards thing is all innuendo until there's a DNA test. I've never heard a word from him regarding affairs.

Who cares what the shyster does or doesn't do? Whether he is or isn't the father he still ain't worth the proverbial "warm bucket of spit".

So are you saying Edwards is the only politico in those Washington circles who is fucking a gaggle of whores? Geez their whole fucking career is fucking these piece-of-shit whores and even the women they're married to are also over the hill,fucking whores! No wonder thats all they can get! I mean who else would marry one of these sleazy,slimy,immoral politicians but an absolute,low life,stinking fucking whore!!! Yeah E Pluribus Unum alright!!!

As usual, the Republicans are cranking up the unfounded rumor mill in preparations for Edwards' next stint as Obama's Attorney General.

The one thing the neo-cons fear most is an Edwards' Justice Department sticking their nose into the last eight years of the Bush administration.

Considering their past use of this "baby" thing, I'm inclined to believe that this unfounded rumor about Edwards is designed to cut him off at the pass, so to speak, to interfer with the vetting process while they still have the ability to do so.

This story has the stink of a regurgitated Karl Rove all over it.

Interesting, people will discredit this story yet want to believe that Cheney would consider a false flag attack to start a war.

What? Like he would admit it? LOL!

Come on, AU, you can do better than that...

What was he doing in Beverly Hills at her hotel in her room in the middle of the night? Multiple choice: a) Getting a little b) Visiting his daughter c) Giving ca$h, alot of it d) All of the above e) B and C f) None of the above g) Innocent social visit from a caring, kind, loving human being


"What was he doing in Beverly Hills at her hotel in her room in the middle of the night?"

Posted by danved at 2008-08-01 07:13 AM

Good question. Only Edwards knows for sure, but we can all surmise what was probably happening, especially knowing his actions after being spotted by reporters. It's funny how the mainstream media is trying to bury this story. If it were a Republican, the story would have legs for at least two weeks.

And this is relevant how?

726 - It is relevant as Edwards was up for the VP slot and he carry's a block of votes into the convention. It is also relevant because it goes to his character and we see that he is a lying two timing bastard that is screwing around while his wife is dying of cancer. Now there is someone with the moral center to be president.

American-

"Craig and Foley were ...hypocrites. There's the difference."

And standing up on public platform expounding on how you love your wife and having photo Ops to show your loving family - while screwing around, fathering a child and not have the backbone to stand up and claim it - That is not being a hypocrite?

Twin...your paranoia is showing through again ..time for the medicine.

726 - It is relevant as Edwards was up for the VP slot

Really?

Explain to me what laws were broken.

And...

If the "other" campaign worker, who "allegedly" fathered the child, came forward to do the right thing, hold a press conference and demand that his name be listed on the birth certificate, that he loved and would support his daughter...

...then perhaps that would get the ball rolling to bring everything into the light of truth...

...then maybe the National Enquirer would call the dogs off.

Yea, Right!

ROFLMAO!!!!!!

. It is also relevant because it goes to his character and we see that he is a lying two timing bastard that is screwing around while his wife is dying of cancer. Now there is someone with the moral center to be president.

But you support McAncient right?

A man who is morally centered? Someone who divorced his first wife because she was too ugly after her car accident, that married his second wife before he was legally divorced from his first wife. Someone who will use public campaign funds to secure a loan but then violate campaign finance law and spend private money.

Morally centered.

"Explain to me what laws were broken.

Posted by 726"

What? Who said that there were any laws broken?

Are you deaf and blind to go with your dumbness?

If it weren't Edwards kid he would have ended this a long time ago by just getting a paternity test...

This is the type of behavior to expect from scumbag lawyers who steal money from innocent doctors...

Well you whiny little bitches are making it sound like the man should be locked up in jail for having an affair.

GASP!

Why do certain posters on this thread demand proof before beliving this? When on the tread about simon hersch & Cheney they jump on it like it's the absolute truth? I think there should be proof before beliving in anything!


Well you whiny little bitches are making it sound like the man should be locked up in jail for having an affair.

uh huh... or maybe we would just like the media to take note of a man running out on his cancer fighting wife to fuck some uggo and have a lovechild with her like they damn sure would if it were a prominent republican... its a little silly at this point that no major news source has really even looked at this.

"The public does not need to get involved with this drivel."

Posted by goatman

I disagree. If the man is going to be one failed heartbeat away from being POTUS, then his character and fundamental morality become of importance.

Yeah, I know, you can't be a nice guy and be an effective president. Jimmy Carter was an unfortunate example of that.

This is a total waste of time proving the Repubs are grasping at straws.

Edwards will not be picked as VP. It's over, he's too controversial now. In addition, he's too young. Obama will go with someone older.

Second, you guys will NEVER find out if he's the father. He's not in office anymore and it's a private matter. He's under no obligation to prove anything to anyone.

...take note of a man running out on his cancer fighting wife to fuck some uggo and have a lovechild with her like they damn sure would if it were a prominent republican...

Impossible. Republican scandals only involve homosexuality. No self-respecting Republican would get caught fucking a woman. Never. Never.


You know, I don't really care if this is Edward's child or not, but imagine the pair this guy must have if it is, and he still ran for President.

Big enough to make Taddy swoon, fer sure.

"If it were a Republican, the story would have legs for at least two weeks."

Because it involves heterosexual activity?

Edwards will not be picked as VP. It's over, he's too controversial now. In addition, he's too young. Obama will go with someone older.

I didn't think obama would ever pick him to be VP... that ship sailed for Edwards in 2004. But I did think Obama would select him for a cabinet position, or some admin position.

"Yep, kind of like the way they treated Craig and Foley"
What elected position does Edwards hold? What was he arrested for? Is, if it is true, consensual sex between a man and a woman the same as being a child molester? No wonder you Rightys are so screwed up.

Well--the Obama VP list got shorter.

As for anything else--Obama has to win first.

Downward trends are appearing everywhere.

its a little silly at this point that no major news source has really even looked at this.

Posted by Rob_The_A_Hole

Did they provide extensive coverage of Newt serving his wife with divorce papers in the hospital as she recovered from cancer surgery?

No.

Why?

Because as much as the righturds want this to be newsworthy it just ain't.

Isn't it between Edwards, his wife, and the child's mother? The public does not need to get involved with this drivel.

Goat,

The fact that Edwards is a political machine, and has put his family front and center in that, makes it a political issue.

When he appeared on TV (in a repulsive, political strategy) with his "stand by your wife" with cancer, Edwards made his own family values central to his political identity.

I think it's revolting, but this is part of politics. He's a bigger hypocrite than Danni.

~wretch ~ wretch ~

I don't even have a place listed for "place of birth",

That's because jackal bitches don't have to file a birth certificate

Fat Ugly Chick,

Oh, never mind.

I'd try to respond, but the Bible says "Cast not your pearls before swine."

I think someone's got a crush on Danni. She's gay Vern. Sorry.

The only part I would find interesting about this story is if some dumbass who isn't the father, in this case the guy who works for Edwards, was enough of a dumbass to claim the kid is his.

Once your name is recorded as the kid's father, you can get stuck paying until the kid is 18. Even if you can prove it really isn't yours.

it's beyond comprehension, an un-verified rumor is making righties call Edwards a hypocrite, that is much more unethical that what the rumor is

demanding prove? buzz off!

John Edwards was right, there are two Americas. Those that cheat on there wives and those that don't.

Cheap shot aside, I find this story sad. Elizabeth Edwards is one of the classiest political wives out there. As much as I dislike John Edwards' politics, for her sake I hope it's untrue.

She's gay Vern. Sorry.

That won't stop Vern from...ahem...abusing himself at the thought.

John Edwards was right, there are two Americas. Those that cheat on there wives and those that don't.

What whose wives cheat on them?

Wouldn't that make three Americas?

lol

Good point. Maybe I should amend that to "Those that cheat and those that don't.

"John Edwards was right, there are two Americas. Those that cheat on there wives and those that don't."

Yeah, I know what you mean.

Sincerely,
John McCain

But you support McAncient right?

It didn't take long for Captain Dipshit to come up with this year's Democrat campaign theme:

"Our candidate in an inexperienced neophyte who looks nice, and his potential veep is a sack of shit, dirtbag ambulance chasing one-term senator who cheats on his wife. But hey, let's talk about the other guy."

What a sales pitch! With a story like that you gotta win|!

Thus speaks the voice of experience.

"Our candidate in an inexperienced neophyte who looks nice, and his potential veep is a sack of shit, dirtbag ambulance chasing one-term senator who cheats on his wife. But hey, let's talk about the other guy."

If that's the case care to explain why the "inexperienced neophyte" leads in the polls? If that's so obvious shouldn't McCain have a double-digit lead in the polls? Want to run that through your calculator, mental midget?

If that's the case care to explain why the "inexperienced neophyte" leads in the polls?

Aren't you a touchy little Osamawhore!

OK,

1. the point of my post, which you are too stoopid to grasp, has nothing to do with McCain. He's a dreadful choice.

2. the point of my post was that Osama/Edwards is such a silly/revolting choice that even 726 has no positive reason to vote for them; the best he can do is deflect to how McCain may be worse.

Is that what the Democratic Party now represents? You don't suck quite so much as Republicans?

"Is that what the Democratic Party now represents?"

I asked you to explain why the "inexperienced neophyte" leads in the polls and that's your reply? If you didn't have an answer why didn't you just say so?

"He's a dreadful choice."

Of course McCain's a dreadful choice. Perhaps you inadvertently answered my question. Thank you. Oh, and just because your side believes your vote is "the lesser of 2 evils" don't try to claim that's what we believe ("You don't suck quite so much as Republicans?").
