There is still speculation that he is lying about not being the father of Rielle Hunter's baby, he was dis-invited to the current par-tay for the DNC in Denver this week, and now he can't even get a hold of his former friends and staffers to apologize. The story plays out like Edward's staffers were the ones personally betrayed by the affair. |

» "Fag Enabler"?
Not ones to let a story pass without offering their take, Westboro Baptist Church took some time this weekend to weigh in on John Edwards, the failed presidential candidate who admitted sticking it to a woman not his wife. For that, the WBC claims, Edwards shall forever be known as a "fag enabler." Their illogic astounds us. [Pink News] |
» Ain't Over?
The John Edwards affair scandal may be getting a new chapter: "The Enquirer has uncovered that Edwards' political operatives are still paying his mistress Rielle Hunter - and she was whisked away on a private jet two days before he confessed their extramarital affair on national TV!… After Edwards confessed the affair to his wife, he restarted it, and was sexually involved with Rielle when she became pregnant."

Generally, the devout frown on the cheating-on-your-wife thing, and especially the cheating-on-your-ill-wife thing. And the Catholics, who spend much of their time warning followers about spending eternity in hell, are quick to point out sins. Including those made by the media at large. Hope you've got your holy water in a bottle with a squirt spout top! |

GLAAD Doesn't Think That's Rad
You'll recall that the right-wing authoress took a shot at Edwards last year, when she called the politico a "faggot." Well, Coulter has done it again, this time calling him "faggy" while discussing his alleged affair. Said Coulter: I just think John Edwards is an incredibly creepy individual and the very definition of faggy, with his whole two Americas — and remember when he was campaigning, one of his big things, oh, how people are so poor and they can't, they're starving at night, and, you know, he met a woman who couldn't buy a winter coat for her children… [He's] just, you know, living in this, like, Dickensian England that does not exist in America, and acting like you're the only person who cares. |

Our editor recently sat down with gay activist David Mixner and while we won't publish the boys' chat until tomorrow morning, here what Mixner, who once supported John Edwards and is a long-time friend of Hillary Clinton's, had to say about backing Barack Obama: "One of the joys of this campaign is that I had to make a decision not to support Senator Clinton, then I supported John Edwards and I ended up with Obama and I have become a real huge Obama fan in the process, which sort of caught me by surprise… [This election is] between the future and the past. It's just such a clear cut decision for the people of this country." |

Meanwhile, Clinton Campaigner Makes "Poor" Choice
The rumors were true: former candidate John Edwards endorsed Barack Obama this evening, speaking of the Senator's "bold leadership." The speech, staged in Michigan, effectively rained on Hillary Clinton's West Virginia parade. Speaking of raining, the Clinton campaign had to apologize to a West Virginia voter today after a campaign caller, who had thought the person picked up, inadvertently left a fairly offensive message. Hi. Hello? This is crazy. This person hung up. Maybe they think it's a bill collector. I bet it is. West Virginians are poor. Ouch. |

It's really quite queer. |
