John Edwards admits affair with Hunter

What. An. Asshole.

"Edwards made a point of telling [ABC's Bob] Woodruff that his wife's cancer was in remission when he began the affair with Hunter."

Oh good. As long as your wife's cancer is in remission then by all means, tally ho!

As I've said before, I supported Edwards in the primaries, so there's some money I wish I could have back. What was he thinking pursuing the nomination?

I don't have much to add to this. I'm sure you can get more analysis and crowing vindication on the subject Chez Kaus.

John Edwards love child story: possibly true?

I consider the climb up the journalistic ladder from the National Enquirer to Fox to be pretty short, but Fox is now running with Edwards' late night altercation with tabloid reporters at the Beverly Hills Hilton.

The idea that John Edwards really has a secret love child with Rielle Hunter, and is having late night meetings with her at famous hotels so soon after having been a presidential candidate... well it strains credibility. If it's true, I will be devastated not only because the guy was my first choice for nominee, and I like Elizabeth Edwards a lot and she's got enough to deal with, but because Mickey Kaus has been a tireless promoter of the story when even Drudge was taking a pass. As Mickey proudly put it, it's not the first time he's pushed something that didn't meet Drudge's standards.

So the crowing he'll do if this is actually true will be unbearable. And, even considering the source, I have to admit the hotel encounter just doesn't sound at all good.

Update:
Here's a post of Mickey's back in December, which incidentally refers to Drudge teasing the Enquirer story, contra my point that Drudge ignored it. But I'm pretty sure (don't care enough to make sure) this isn't his first post on the story, and that he beat Drudge.
