Mistress Tells Her Side Of John Edwards Affair In Book

(Reuters) - Rielle Hunter, John Edwards' former mistress, writes in her new book that the two-time presidential candidate told her he had at least two previous affairs and also fabricated three other relationships so she would not become too attached, ABC News reported.

Hunter's book, "What Really Happened: John Edwards, Our Daughter, and Me," is set to be released on June 26. It follows Edwards' federal trial in North Carolina, which ended in May with an acquittal on one campaign finance charge and a mistrial on five others after the jury deadlocked.

The Justice Department announced last week that it would not re-try the former U.S. senator.

Edwards, 59, was accused of seeking more than $900,000 from two wealthy supporters to conceal Hunter and her pregnancy with his child from voters during his unsuccessful bid to win the Democratic presidential nomination four years ago.

At the time, Edwards' wife, Elizabeth, was battling cancer. She died in December 2010.

ABC News said it had obtained a copy of Hunter's book, in which she defends John Edwards' innocence in the criminal case while also revealing that he had affairs with at least two other women prior to 2004.

Hunter said Edwards made up three additional mistresses - supposedly in Chicago, Los Angeles and Florida - during the early part of their relationship, which began after they met at a New York City hotel in February 2006, because he did not want Hunter to become too attached to him.

She said Edwards told her he had broken up with the fake mistresses before conceding that he had fabricated them.

Hunter wrote that Edwards confessed to having the other affairs but that he led her to believe that she was the last.

Hunter blames Elizabeth Edwards for driving John Edwards to cheat. She describes Elizabeth Edwards in unflattering terms, calling her "crazy," "venomous," and a "witch on wheels."

Hunter said she regretted allowing John Edwards' political aide, Andrew Young, to publicly claim paternity for the daughter Edwards had fathered.

"Of all the things that happened in my relationship with Johnny the thing that I regret the most is going along with this stupid idea and allowing this lie to go public," Hunter wrote, according to ABC News.

Edwards eventually admitted the child was his.

Hunter later sued Young over ownership of a video of her having sex with Edwards, which in her book she says she filmed at Edwards' request while traveling with him in Uganda.

Hunter said she wrote the book to provide her now 4-year-old daughter, Frances Quinn, with a truthful public account of "how she came into the world."

She writes that Edwards is involved in their daughter's life but does not shed much light on the current status of their relationship.

"I really have no idea what will happen with us," she wrote, according to ABC News. "The jury is still out. But I can honestly say that the ending is of no concern to me anymore. The love is here. And as sappy as it may sound, I love living in love."




*Is this bitch on crack or what?



Now we know you don't place all the blame on the mistress but for this chick to blame the wife is  ridiculous!  She has truly bumped her head all the way to the white meat!

Reading this article has given me a whole new perspective when it comes to the mistress.  This mistress in particular is as cockey as they come.  Instead of backing the hell off, she pursued John Edwards (he's not so innocent).  Her ass knew if it blew up, she would have fame and fortune.  At that time she wanted what she could get, and then some, no matter how severe the consequences.

A situation with a husband cheating on his wife is never easy.  Top it off with a cockey, money hungry mistress who will stop at nothing (i.e have a baby) to be famous or infamous is truly tragic.  She should of known that at the end of the day, there would of been no sympathy for her dumb ass.  The wife, especially a wife like Elizabeth (no matter how lazy) and who died of cancer, would get all the sympathy in the world. I guess she was too caught up in the flash, cash and media to realize that she was just a piece of ass.

At the end of the day, this chick can yap all she wants, but she will go down in history as the mistress of John Edwards and not his wife. 

In the words of Teresa from the real housewives of NJ, and (I can't believe I'm writing this), Reille Hunter can go SCRATCH!*

Gay Activists Visiting WhiteHouse Take Photos Of Themselves Flipping Off Regan Portrait

(The Blaze)-Gay activists from Philadelphia posed for pictures while giving the middle finger to a portrait of former President Ronald Reagan during a recent trip to the White House, according to Philadelphia Magazine:

From phillymag.com:



Last Friday, an attaché of important gay people from Philadelphia made a trip to Washington D.C. as invited guests of President Barack Obama for the White House’s first-ever gay pride reception….some of them took advantage of photo opportunities to give the late President Ronald Reagan the middle finger

“It’s not a gesture that I would use in the White House when representing our city and our community,” opines Philadelphia Gay News publisher Mark Segal (center), who opted for a sarcastic thumbs-up pose in front of the portrait of George W. Bush over the more vulgar one demonstrated by his Reagan-loathing peers, Matthew “Matty” Hart (left), the national director of public engagement at Solutions for Progress, and self-taught photographer turned toast-of-the-town Zoe Strauss (right).

But his counterparts couldn’t seem to care less. Hart posted his photo on Facebook with the caption, “F–k Reagan.” [Zoe] Strauss simply posted hers without commentary. After all, the murderous facial expression and double-barreled bird-flipping seem to speak for themselves. Comments ranged from “you forgot to add with a chainsaw” on Hart’s “F–k Reagan” note, to my personal favorite, “star wars … up yours,” on Strauss’s.

Strauss posted a second one on her blog with the comment: “Me and LB making out under a portrait of Reagan at the White House. That was amazing."

Neither Hart nor Strauss immediately returned The Blaze’s requests for comment.

Strauss refused to speak to Philadelphia Magazine about the photos, reportedly texting that she was “keeping out of the press!” Hart, however, repeated his “f–k Reagan” epithet to the publication:

“Yeah, f–k Reagan,” reiterates Hart one week after the reception. “Ronald Reagan has blood on his hands. The man was in the White House as AIDS exploded, and he was happy to see plenty of gay men and queer people die. He was a murderous fool, and I have no problem saying so. Don’t invite me back. I don’t care.”

The reception, which featured live music from the Marine Corps band, also saw a marriage proposal between a female-to-male transgendered person and a biological woman.

*Ain't this some hot ass gay mess!

To be invited to the WhiteHouse by a sitting President is very honorable.  Then to show up and show your gay ass out, is unacceptable!  If I was President Obama they're gay asses would be banned for life.

Look; gay or not, you don't have to act like your ass is 2 years old.  Just because past Presidents didn't see eye to eye with gay Americans doesn't mean they should be disrespected in their house, which is by the way is the WhiteHouse in case their gay asses forgot.  Honestly I'm sure they wouldn't take to kindly with straight people disrespecting them and what they stand for. 

We say to gay Americans please give it a rest!

We all know that they want practically the same rights as straight Americans who are married.  I think your getting that and more! It's probably fitting to say that most people feel like they're gay asses want way to much. But hey, it's a free country.

Getting back on the article.  This is outlandish, ridiculous, and school yard behavior especially in a formal place such as the WhiteHouse.  The disrespectfulness of these people gay or not shouldn't be tolerated by no means.  To behave like this is a reflection of who these people really are, and not of the whole gay community. They should know better and be mindful of the example they are setting for younger gay Americans who may see this.  I guess; when it all comes down to it, these folks who are suppose to be "special" aren't that special afterall.

They're just ridiculous assholes!*

Oh by the way; we don't care if your showcasing PDA. It's not anything new. Gay or not, most people kiss in public. Grow up bitches!
