John Edwards’ sex tape rumor
An ex-aide says Edwards and mistress Rielle Hunter made a sex video. Could Mark Sanford get any luckier?
Did John Edwards make a sex tape with videographer Rielle Hunter?

John Edwards is “out of luck,” said George Rush and Joanna Malloy in the New York Daily News, if he hoped the sex scandals of Sen. John Ensign and Gov. Mark Sanford would make people forget his own affair with videographer Rielle Hunter. Ex–Edwards campaign aide Andrew Young just signed a deal for a book reportedly telling of a sex tape showing Edwards “taking positions that weren’t on his official platform” with his former mistress.
Young also says that, despite an earlier take-one-for-the-team admission, he isn’t the father of Hunter’s child, said John Hinderaker and Paul Mirengoff in Power Line. Edwards is. “No surprise there.” But since Young lied about fathering the child, why would anyone believe him about the sex tape, or anything else? Truthful or not, though, this lucrative “exposé” can be thought of as one last gift from Edwards to a once “absurdly loyal” aide.
It’s also a gift to Sanford, said Deuce Geary in The Skepticrats. As if the deaths of Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett weren’t enough to knock his Argentine affair “out of the most-written about story slot,” he now gets this potential bombshell to fill the politician sex-scandal slot, too.

Posted by anonymous, Monday, June 29, 2009, 8:51 am Will Young tell all about his burglary, forgery and multiple DUI arrests? Other former colleagues also say he had a history of cheating on his wife. Add to those facts the tidbit that he agreed to the cover up in return for hush money wonder how much his integrity was worth. Can't be too much since he had so little.Oh yeah, this guy is oozing credibility! Guess he ran through Baron's payments and is looking for another source of money rather than get a real job.
Posted by none, Monday, June 29, 2009, 10:48 am No one's ever said Young has an even remotely clean character. But, at the same time, that doesn't mean this stuff isn't true.All the Edwards apologists want to attack the messengers as more and more dirt spews out.What about blaming Edwards himself, or his wife for perpetuating a lie and supporting him even when she knew of all this B.S.

Posted by Johnny Reb, Monday, June 29, 2009, 2:45 pm Is this news? John Edwards lost, without the sex scandal, all by himself, he lost. Like all failed presidential contenders he should have faded into obscurity by now. But for some reason the media can't stop talking about him. Funny how they just didn't care enough to mention his name when he was running for president.
Posted by DC, Tuesday, June 30, 2009, 1:48 pm John Edwards has received plenty of blameand it was welldeserved. However, whether there's a tape or not, Mr. Young is clearly a lowlife. It appears that he'll say or do anything for money. I hope he just goes away and nobody gives his book or his claims any more publicity. John Edwards is not a candidate, and was not a candidate when his affair was revealed. He's no longer relevant in politics. I agree with Johnny Reb, why is the press so in love with Edwards' failings? It's time to move on.
Posted by mmmm...toitles!, Tuesday, June 30, 2009, 3:45 pm I'd watch an Edwards sex tapre...if the star was Cate! Or even betterElizabeth! Bald is beautiful!
Posted by Brian, Tuesday, June 30, 2009, 5:11 pm Elizabeth is just as slick a liar. All that hullabaloo about her convenient cancer recurrence just when he was fading from the headlines and the Presidential race. They deserve each other. Good riddance to bad redneck rubbish.
Posted by jb, Tuesday, June 30, 2009, 7:49 pm i'd feel much better about rooting for Elizabeth had she forced him to quit the race when she found out about the affair....instead of supporting him once it was out...
