John Edwards Love Child Scandal! Clinton Link to Enquirer?

John Edwards. Love child? Scandal. Blonde campaign worker formerly claimed Edwards was father, now says other campaign worker Andrew Young is the father. This is the National Enquirer, after all, but they did break the Jesse Jackson baby and other juicy tidbits over the years.

Comment on this

The timing is just too, too convenient -- what with Edwards threatening to win or at least come in second in Iowa.
I am obligated to bring up the matter of ownership of the Enquirer -- NoHillaryClinton.com and other sites have mentioned that a key owner is also a big backer of Hillary.

What the tabloid’s readers, in politics and out, may not know is that a key owner of the Enquirer is a prominent New York investment banker and one of Hillary Clinton’s key backers, Roger Altman. Altman was an official in the first Clinton administration, and his name is often mentioned as a possible Clinton Treasury Secretary.
The investment boutique which Altman founded and chairs, Evercore Partners, bought a controlling stake in American Media, which publishes the Enquirer, in 1999, which it still holds with a partner.

I cannot believe what the Enquirer is printing, I can't believe Edwards could possibly be so dumb if it's true, I can't believe Hillary would stoop that low if it's true she is behind this -- I do not know what to believe but when all the facts come out, someone is going to be finished in politics forever.

PLUS, in a Newsvine special enhanced seed, mine comes with a soundtrack -- Yes!
A choice 1966 clip on YouTube from the Ed Sullivan show of the Supremes, with MISS Diana Ross, singing what else? "Love Child"! Yes!

What do you suppose are the chances that the major media outlets make at least a passing mention of this?

Oh, I'd say better than 50-50.
Why? Are you a sportin' man?
You willing to put an eggnog on the line, pardner?

I enjoy cards, but I could never endure eggnog. I think there's something wrong with it.

I'm betting by week's end.

The so called 'missing' John Edwards videos (directed by Rielle Hunter) have just reappearded on the web. Someone posted them back up on www.Webcastr.com. Here is the link to see what you think.
