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.

The clip I saw said that Edwards wanted the aide to steal a diaper to try to get DNA.


So....he wasn't sure then? I would've imagined he would have had that checked out ASAP and certainly not by stealing a diaper. Why not just demand it? I mean the whole world knew he had an affair anyway and that the baby was in question. Why steal a diaper? Just sounds weird.

This is a man that is adamently against gay marriage? What a hypocrite, to judge WHO can form a family unit. Maybe it's envy, since he is so obviously incapable of

No harm intended. Sorry if I offended anyone. I was commenting on how obsessed America seems with famous people and their personal lives, and how obsessed the famous people are with the attention they get.


I'm apologize if you took my post as a lecture.

I'd love to see Elizabeth hook up with some 25 year old male stripper with a bod that would make a woman blush......:)) I know she wouldn't do that, but just to see the look on John's face would be priceless. I can't stand to listen to him talk, much less actually look at him. I'll bet he stops in the middle of

He reminds me of the politician version of Tom Cruise, flash that smile and everything will be mine. I think Elizabeth has handled this with much class. There could be a club of women who've been married to scummy politicians but walked away with their head held up high.
