| Edwards paying Hush money to Mistress says NatExaminer |
| 2008-07-30 |
| [from the issue on sale today] A NATIONAL ENQUIRER investigation has uncovered John Edwards' mistress, Rielle Hunter -- the mother of his "love child" -- has been secretly receivÂing $15,000 a month as part of an elaborate cover-up orchestrated by the former presidential contender. The money is being funneled to Hunter by a wealthy colleague who was closely tied to the Edwards' campaign [perhaps it's Steve Bing, the producer (major investor in the movie "The Polar Express) - I guess this because this guy is a billionaire and can write $15k checks without thinking about it]. This same man is also shoveling cash to Edwards' pal and former aide Andrew Young -- who tried to take the heat off the ex-Senator by claiming he is the father of Rielle's baby. |

| #8 Some people are speculating that the meeting at the hotel was partly sex, partly meeting the kid and partly negotiating an off-the-books child support. There is also the matter of taxation (of course if the money didn't start coming in to Rielle until 2008 it is a different issue). |

| #7 lol! Seeing as how he was caught with her in her hotel room, it doesn't seem like all that cash hushed her up as much as he had hoped. Wonder how much she got from the Enquirer to have the cameras ready and waiting. |

| #4 Does "two Americas" mean having a wife and a girlfriend in the background? |

| #3 So this is what he really meant by having 'Two Americas'. And here I thought Romney was the Mormon or was this a premature Sharia practice? |

| #1 I might be tempted to screw him myself for 15K a month for the next 18 years. |
