Edwards Scandal A Boon for Gen X Author

Marylou- That is plum suspicious.

Why are we still talking about Edwards when we now know Obama's college trip to Pakistan was taken using an Indonesian passport?

Stop the Drama- Right on and Praise the Lord! Yeehaw!

I think Jay MacInerney claimed Rielle Hunter as a character when the affair progressed out of the tabloids. I suspect he may have created some fiction to bring back his fiction, which evidently wasn't doing that good to no longer be in print. I don't think she deserves to be credited even in pulp fiction. But anyway bimbos have a way of prevailing in a variety of settings- novels, bars, campuses, corporate media, and the most damaging setting of all, the political arena.

the messed up part of affairs gone public is everyone BUT the other woman is dragged threw the mud!
-the wife is publicly humiliated.
- the children find out things they dont need to know about.
- the man is treated like he was the first man in history to do this.
- and the other woman can sell her story for money or gets free advertising for anything she has already done! sad

The really sad part is that we have to choose between the likes of McCain and Obama...bad or worse...

Somewhere in the whole of America there has to be a candidate who is not an extreme, left-wing liberal or a conservative who should have retired about a decade back.

Too bad that the one candidate who seemed to have some potential and ability succumbed to carnal desire long enough to trash his family, his career, and the hopes of his former supporters.

Dave, no more degrading than "pool boy". And changing a word to suit a non sexist modern society is an illusion. Flights attendants and executive assistants are still stewardesses and secretaries. Changing a a word doesn't change the person.

Why is this author benefiting by someone elses pain, namely the wife and
children of John Edwards. You couldn't
give me that book, since it's associated with the whore. She needs to start her next project of stealing and blackmailing. Take the DNA test tramp.

I still think the "mistress" would make a better first lady than Michelle Obama.

Ya gotta love this country. We love to make money and get our hands and minds dirtied by the guys and gals who live by a different code and then the code gets deciphered and the public gets excited...what was it Oscar Wilde said about gossip...oh yes...

"Gossip is charming! History is merely gossip. But scandal is gossip made tedious by morality"

Isn't "mistress" a sexist and degrading term? One clue is that there's no parallel term for a male. There must be better terminology.

I am not so sure she is the "former mistress" unless you mean not in the last week or two.
