It's About Damn Time
John Edwards finally admitted publicly what the rest of the world knew a couple of years ago. He is the father of Rielle Hunter's baby. In a statement provided to NBC, Edwards said, “I am Quinn’s father. I will do everything in my power to provide her with the love and support she deserves. I have been able to spend time with her during the past year and trust that future efforts to show her the love and affection she deserves can be done privately and in peace."
He then went on to say that he is sorry that he ever denied he was her father and that she will understand when she is older. Uh huh. What is he going to say? "Look the woman I was married to was suffering from cancer and I needed some loving so had sex with your mom. She got pregnant, but I was running for President so I had to pretend you were someone else's baby, lied to my wife, funneled some money to your mom from a rich guy but I still love you."
Edwards says he has also been paying child support for about a year and has just signed an agreement to pay more. Edwards is also trying to keep a low profile and spends his time helping the poor. Seriously. I'm not making that up. His people actually said that.
