It’s been a week of revelations for John Edwards. After the confession that he is the father of Rielle Hunter’s baby, little did he know there was more to come. Thanks to the deal
former devoted aide Andrew Young has made with St. Martin’s Press, we may know and see more than we ever wanted.
If you’re to keep your friends close, but your enemies closer, perhaps
in politics you should assume they’re one in the same. I don’t care who
you are, you shouldn’t leave sex
tapes lying around, where people can just ‘happen’ to find them, as
Young claims to have done while packing for John Edwards. Andrews is no
doubt waiting for the highest bidder to reveal the double X-rated tape.
Ironically, Hunter was hired by the campaign to videotape the
candidate’s movements,we can say that she was thorough. She was also
smitten and not a little cold hearted, confessing to Andrews that she
and Edwards had planned to marry if his wife lost her battle with
cancer, and even discussed the music they’d use for the ceremony.
Sure to be a gossipy best seller, Andrews claims to have been such a
believer, he’d planned to invite the pregnant Hunter to live with him,
his wife Cheri, and their three children under the guise that the baby
girl was his. With that kind of alleged loyalty, it remains a mystery as
to what turned Andrews from confidante to back-stabbing, book selling
machine airing all of the dirty laundry.
Andrews is no hero to Elizabeth Edwards. While under no delusions of her
husband’s disloyalty, she rightly blames Andrews for his full knowledge
of the affair, even facilitating matters by arranging conference calls
through his own cell
phone. Elizabeth
Edwards with her dignity and courage is the true victim in all of
this. It’s a pity that her husband cheated, and even worse that his
former aide chose to inflict yet more hurt with a book making mention of
a yet unseen tape among other things of no importance at this time.
