OK, so it’s from the National Enquirer, which actually has a pretty good track record of reporting things that are later found to be true (Brangelina, anyone?). Apparently Edwards has something on the side.
The married ex-senator from North Carolina – whose wife Elizabeth continues to battle cancer — met with his mistress, blonde divorcée Rielle Hunter, at the Beverly Hilton on Monday night, July 21 – and the NATIONAL ENQUIRER was there! He didn’t leave until early the next morning.
Rielle had driven to Los Angeles from Santa Barbara with a male friend for the rendezvous with Edwards. The former senator attended a press event Monday afternoon with L.A. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa on the topic of how to combat homelessness.
Two Americas indeed.
PS – All kidding aside, if this is true Edwards should be ashamed of himself. I have no illusions about politicians, but I do have a soft spot for those suffering through cancer. This is the last thing his wife needs to be dealing with right now, and while I don’t agree with much that Elizabeth Edwards has to say if this is true my heart goes out to her.
UPDATE – Mickey Kaus wonders why the MSM isn’t running with this (and he has a theory too!), and the Hot Air crew chime in on whether or not we should be discussing this at all in light of the way the Right blogosphere ripped the NYT for their thinly-sourced McCain-Iseman story. I say it’s news, and news gets reported.
