Any man that can't claim the responsibility of fathering a child is an idiot. It seems that monicre fits Edwards to a tee! He knew the consequences when he was sleeping with Hunter yet did it anyway. It's ridiculous that he tried to hide it and talked Young into saying the baby was his and not Edwards. I'm glad he got busted out! Serves him right. I wish he'd step up to the plate, be a man and take care of his daughter...financially and emotionally.

Cindy..Ga.

I wish Elizabeth E. all the best.
I can't believe that this guy had that much Arrogance & Selfishness!!! And he was running to be President of the US?!
OMG!

I am not only appalled at John Edwards having the audacity to get someone else to shoulder his responsibilities, but I am equally appalled that Andrew Young would do this to his family. What kind of human beings are they?

Mr Edwards please man up and take the responsibilites and embrace then. Look around you, everyone that has taken there responsibilities are still there. Hey, just look at old Bill. Prime example.

Wow. Why is honesty cool anymore?

I don't know about you, but he kinda looked sneaky to me. He was way too squeaky clean. But one things for sure, he is no bill Clinton.

Whoa! If he could ask his aide, who already had a family of his own, to do something so dispicable for him, just think what he could have done to our country! Then the going phrase probably would have been:" Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do TO your country."

I feel so sorry for Mrs E.Edwards. How can this "husband" do this to his wife?
Shame on him,put him i a box,lost the key and forgert this man,he is a lier,Mrs Edwards put him out of your house,and American people how can you ever trust a man like that,in a polityl way?

Lets do a polygraph on each man in office, everywhere!

I believe John Edwards was a decent man caught up in the pressures of a presidential campaign that was zeroed in by a gold digging name seeking calculating woman. He fell. So what....he that is without sin let him cast the first stone....
He will pay the 'price' of his bad judgement, but so should she. She is NOT a victim but the deliberate perpetrator.

Yes, Edwards is wrong, but he should be forgiven...He has admitted to the affair and apologized...Why is it that some politicians/t.v anchors deserve to be forgiven, and others are not?...What Edwards did is no worse than Sanford, O'reilly, Gingrich, Clinton, Spitzer, should i go on, if i did the list would be too long;-)

To Vickie who said:
"Lets do a polygraph on each man in office, everywhere!"

We'd have no one left in office, sadly.

It seem like with with all the dirt that the oposition trys to dig up on all of these politicions that they would have enough common since to keep there nose clean John Edwards evedently has no common since.

Anderson, you should have Rielle and Edwards on at the same time, both giving their version of this. More likely, this is the time Edwards got caught – not necessarily the first transgression of his marriage vows. Get 'em both on there and make 'em fess up, Anderson.

well, my concern about the whole thing is not really the affair; but the fact that he kept denying it and also denying the child.. I don't think that any of that actually is healthy for the child....
