John Edwards can't catch a break. The National Enquirer reports he has proposed to Rielle Hunter and is buying a $3.5 million home for them to live in together. Edwards spokesman denies it.

Meanwhile, a court in North Carolina continues to deal with Andrew Young and the "personal video." Apparently, the court wasn't satisfied with Young's accounting for originals and copies of tapes and photographs and the other day entered this supplemental contempt order. The parties return to court next week.

I also can't figure out what business the FBI had taking a copy of the tape from Young's lawyer for presentation to the grand jury, as Young claims in his latest affidavit. How is it relevant to the investigation into whether Edwards knew campaign contributions were funneled to Hunter? According to Young, there's no sound on the tape and you can't make out the woman's face. [More....]

And Andrew Young just keeps talking. His latest: Elizabeth Edwards is threatening to sue him for alienation of affection because of his book.

I don't believe the Enquirer. Or Andrew Young. Neither he nor Elizabeth nor their children deserve this.

    Well we agree Elizabeth and the kids don't deserve (5.00 / 1) (#1)

    this. John made his own bed though. If he hadn't lied through his teeth about first his relationship with Rielle and second his daughter, he'd have alot more credibility when he said stuff.

    His behavior thus far has been pretty sleazy. It isn't surprising that people would believe the worst of him even with a denial.

    And how about those campaign contributions? (5.00 / 1) (#5)

    I don't know that John Edwards deserves to cut a break.

    Tell the truth, John.  Tiger Woods was slammed on this blog for apologizing publicly for his behavior.  You were cut a break when you apologized.  Seems like that was just the tip of the iceberg.  Right now, Tiger has more credibility than you.

    Andrew Young is just sleazy.  I dunno though -- The National Enquirer has been right before about Edwards, hasn't it?

    hook, line, and sinker. They both lied their frigging faces off and now neither seem the slightest bit aware that they burned a whole lot of people. I don't have any particular sympathy for either of them.

    I feel sorry for all the folks without work or who are facing another three years of indifference.

    Hillary stands head and shoulders about the pack and unfortunately that says an immense amount about her and the 'stars' of the Democratic party.

    I still hope she runs in 2012. This party is going nowhere under the current leadership.
