The Edwards sex tape is the Rielle deal
At least according to Diane Dimond at the Daily Beast. This alleged John Edwards/Rielle Hunter sex tape sounds less and less alleged all the time. WARNING: PREGNANT SEX AHEAD.
The Daily Beast can now describe the video in detail, based on accounts from multiple people who have viewed it. One source who has a medical background and has worked with pregnant patients says Hunter appears four or five months pregnant based on the swollen state of her belly and nipples. This would would place the tape’s filming somewhere around September or October of 2007, smack in the middle of Edwards campaign for the presidency.
On the video, both participants are naked. Hunter is propped up against the hotel bed headboard, with John Edwards belly-down on the bed between her legs. As Hunter, the campaign’s official videographer, holds the camera, a smiling Edwards performs oral sex. Because of the camera angle, Hunter’s face is not visible, but her distinctive jewelry is. Not only does candidate Edwards know he’s being filmed, one source says, he’s also clowning around and “graphically performing for the camera.”
Wow. I’ve heard of politicians kissing babies, but usually not until they’re born!
Rumors of this tape have been floating around for at least a year, but most people assumed Edwards couldn’t be stupid and arrogant and crazy enough to allow something like this to exist. He could’ve been Vice President. He could’ve been President of the United States. The hanky-panky behind the back of his cancer-stricken wife is bad enough, but taping it? What a dolt! And we’re supposed to be worried about Palin?
Is there any particular reason, besides visceral disgust among journalists, why the National Enquirer shouldn’t get a Pulitzer for this story?
Other tidbits:
- According to Elizabeth Edwards in an e-mail to former sidekick Andrew Young, in which she threatens a lawsuit, “she’s never been near death and will certainly live to see the end of the threatened litigation.”
- Young claims that John once told him, “Oh, you know, Andrew, the voters don’t care about politician’s affairs. If this ever gets out, it will be a one-day story.” Whoops!
- Young’s got more incriminating material, including “eight photographs, the video sex tape, copies of the tape, a Hunter document entitled ‘The Slut Club,’ and other items.” Who doesn’t want to read “The Slut Club”? As you may know, Hunter inspired the Alison Poole character in several works by Jay McInerney and Bret Easton Ellis. Is this a firsthand account? The title seems like kind of a giveaway.
And I’ve lost track of all the lawsuits they’re filing against each other. I think John Edwards is actually suing himself just to be sure.
P.S. Not creeped out enough yet? This’ll fix it.
P.P.S. “Repulsive.”






























Wow. I’ve heard of politicians kissing babies, but usually not until they’re born!
Hahaha… that’s hilarious. But sad and depressing. What a mess. Poor kid.
Amen, bro.
Anybody heard from Amanda Marcotte and Melissa McEwan, the Christian-bashing lefty bloggers that were hired by Edwards, but canned after their bigotry was exposed? They owe the Catholic League’s Bill Donohue (and everyone else who upbraided Edwards for briefly employing them) a debt of gratitude — they were almost tethered to this turkey for life.
Distinctive jewelry?

Even with all the photoshopping, she still looks like a man. How sad.
Here in Texas, we call that “rode hard and put away wet”. She…is…worn…out…already.
Read that GQ link. That woman is tore up, and it wasn’t Edwards that did it. I DON’T WANT TO THINK ABOUT THIS ANYMORE!!!
So I had my pregnant mistress video-tape me mangi il baccala even while my wife was home dying of cancer. Really, who hasn’t? Right? C’mon, hate the game, not the player. Plus, Obama’s terrible, ain’t he? We’re looking pretty good by comparison.

When I was hoping we’d stop discussing political scandals with old crusty pale white guy gay sex, this isn’t exactly what I had in mind.
In the words of Tony the moron- Keep Rockin’!
I still just can’t believe that Edwards is straight.
I know. It’s that primping-hair thing, isn’t it.

He isn’t…LOOK AT HER! She’s a transition move.
