John Edwards Sex Tape?
 

John Edwards should thank his lucky stars that he has a very classy wife. How he could cheat on Elizabeth while she's fighting cancer just shows his true colors.

What a creep. He makes my stomach turn.

John was trying to get street cred.

The End

I forget where I read it, but apparently she's not Mother Theresa either as far as her treatment of staff, etc. Cancer doesn't make you into a perfect person.

A politician made a sex tape? Really? smh

I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but I hoped for some measure of common sense.

Fixed it for you. Apparently they are no longer living together. I guess she had enough of his two timing ways.

I doubt it was the first time, either.

Yeah...no man STARTS cheating in the middle of a run for the presidency!

No, cancer can definitely mess with your personality. But I doubt that this was John's first trip down the primrose path.
Good for her! Why spend the remainder of one's life living with someone who needs to have his fly staple-gunned shut when he's not around?

Perhaps she was like that before the cancer.

I'm not a person who thinks "how could you cheat when your husband/wife is sooooo beautiful, awesome, excellent, whatever, full of cancer?"

HAVING a husband/wife is what makes cheating irreprehensible and loserish to me.

I agree...I wouldn't want to spend my last days looking at a man who cheated and then didn't have the common decency to take my advice and claim the child he fathered with the other woman!

Wait, I thought she was right next to him in denying the child:

"I've seen pictures, it doesn't look like any of mine."

It's pretty classy calling a toddler "it," when we all know the baby is female.

Gross-ass Ken doll wannabe.

Why would anyone cheat on any spouse wife or husband? This is 2010. Divorce is legal and available. I'm sorry but I dont find this behavior excusable for any reason.

I've heard that about her too but I cant remember where either.

LOL! That is a good one!

I've always thought Edwards was a phony. If it is proven/shown he used campaign funds to cover his ass in this affair I hope he serves jail time for it.

I read on CNN or in the Washington Post that she had advised him to admit to it when the story was first leaked, but he was afraid of the fall out. She went along with his fabricated story like any good political wife, which we all know lie as much as their lying, cheating husbands! :p

The book is called Game Changers (the same book that got Harry Reid in trouble) and according to the book, she's not classy at all.

Even if the book didn't come out, I still wouldn't call her classy. I don't know her like that, she's a politicians wife, which means she knows how to play the cameras as well, if not better than the politician.

Yeah, that's what I meant.

ETA: Thanks BluPhire. I think it is Game Change actually. I read the excerpt in New York magazine.

Wow. Stereotype much?

You know, it's probably worth remembering that she wasn't a politician's wife for the first 49 years of her life. John Edwards didn't become at all politically active, much less run for office, until he ran for and was elected to the US Senate in 1998. The decision to seek office was prompted, at least in part, by the death of their teenage son. Up until 1998, Elizabeth Edwards was pretty much just another lawyer, lawyer's wife and mother. When the 2004 presidential race came around, the Edwards had the political experience of one Senate term.

I'm not disputing what Game Change describes at all. But I am suggesting that perhaps it is a bit unfair to completely dismiss her "classiness" based on the fact that she was a politician's wife and on her behavior during the most recent (and highly stressful -- cancer, affair, child) 8 years without any reference to her life prior to the presidential campaigns.

I think it is a sorry mess all the way around-and my heart bleeds for their kids. It's almost like a kid's perfect storm-mom dealing with terminal cancer, dad slutting around and impregnating a woman who is not their mom, finding out you have a new baby sister from said woman, mom and dad possibly divorcing/living separately, and a book that says that your mom is a witch. And everyone knowing about it all. Rough, rough, rough.

"John Edwards" and "sex tape" in the same title make me want to throw up every time I read it.

That is all.

Yeah, that too.

I found it gross that they alluded to him being well-endowed. TMI.
