His people say no, but the National Enquirer says John Edwards has a mistress. And if it’s in the Enquirer, it has to be true, right?
A source close to the woman, whose name is being withheld by The NATIONAL ENQUIRER, says that she confessed to having an affair in phone calls and emails, saying that her work with Edwards soon exploded into romance. The shocking allegation — if proven true — could devastate the Democratic hopeful’s campaign, especially because John’s devoted wife Elizabeth is locked in a desperate battle with breast cancer.
“The affair started about 18 months ago,” a friend says the woman confessed to her. “When they met at a bar, sparks flew immediately.
“She never expected it would turn sexual since John is married and is running for President. But it soon did — and she fell for him.”
In one bombshell e-mail message provided to The NATIONAL ENQUIRER, the woman confesses to a friend she’s “in love with John,” but it’s “difficult because he is married and has kids.”
In another e-mail, she writes: “Last night and this a.m., he actually has amazed me. He is a great man. My heart is loud and my head is silenced.”
Disclosed her friend: “She initially confided in a few of her closest pals that she was sleeping with ‘a married man named John.’
“It became clear the married man was John Edwards. They got together whenever they could, mostly at hotels where Edwards and his campaign staff stayed.”
I don’t know. It would be an idiotic thing to do in this day and age to hook up with a mistress when you’re running for office, and Edwards doesn’t seem like an idiot. Besides, he doesn’t seem to be the kind of jerk who would have some on the side while his wife is battling breast cancer. I’ll wait until I see the pictures, I’m not so sure I believe this. Edwards’ people are, of course, denying the allegations.
