patgundEdwards admits to affair, denies fathering child
"Former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards on Friday admitted to an extramarital affair while his wife was battling cancer. He denied fathering the woman's daughter.
Edwards told ABC News that he lied repeatedly about the affair with 42-year-old Rielle Hunter but said that he didn't love her. He said he has not taken a paternity test but knows he isn't the father because of the timing of the affair and the birth.
ABC said a former Edwards campaign staffer claims he is the father, not Edwards.
Hunter's daughter, Frances Quinn Hunter, was born on Feb. 27, 2008, and no father's name is given on the birth certificate filed in California."
On one hand, the affair is, IMHO, a private matter between the Edwards. That being said, lying about it - pretty bad.
I suspect the goodwill John Edwards may have generated is tapped out right now. Right now I feel sorry for *all* the Edwards family.
Though I take a tiny bit of satisfaction that - once again - Ann Coulter has been proven wrong about something.
