Former presidential candidate John Edwards abandoned his long denial that he had fathered a child during an affair with a campaign aide and admitted today that he is the father of the almost 2-year-old girl.


"I am Quinn's father," Edwards said in the bombshell statement this morning. "I will do everything in my power to provide her with the love and support she deserves.


The former senator and presidential hopeful had an affair with campaign cinematographer Rielle Hunter, 42, and she later give birth to Frances Quinn.

A Teeny, Tiny Tiger will surely be spotted at some point, I agree....lol. He dipped that wick in way too many places to have not at least sired one little one.


My escape is sports, for the most part.....working out, swimming, etc. are other stress relievers I like.....hell, I have to unwind sometimes with a cold beer, good music and laugh my butt off with some friends or I'd go bonkers with the job I have. Reading some gossip and trash can be a stress reliever for me as well. I have no shame in admitting that either. I'm waiting for someone to post a National Enquirer trivia game on here so I can WIN....lol.


Take care buckeye girl.

I completely agree. Oh, and that was a gutwrenching story about the elderly folks, wasn't it? I wonder if that is why I have been snappish and out of sorts the past few days...an overload of bad and the inability to do anything about it.

No points for owning up to it from me either. He only did it when he realized there was no choice. It's too easy to verify these days. It would be like trying to give points to Clinton for owning up to the Lewinski affair. He only did it after he realized she kept the dress and there was evidence. Didn't Edwards also come out against Clinton's affair? I don't know if it's just politicians but how do they think they'll get away with it these days?

Gotta give him some points for owning up to it now. <<


Points for “owning up to it”?? He had no choice!

I don't think of John Edwards as a celebrity. He could have been president of our country. He's not the same as Tiger Woods who really is inconsequential. I'd also think it would be different if this were happening now, after he's exited from the public spotlight. But, this was happening as he was running for office. This shows his lack of judgment. Yes, the babies in Haiti are heartbreakingly sad and we need to pay attention to it. At the same time, 99% of what we discuss here is far less important than their lives.
