Andrew Young Book: John Edwards "Baby Daddy" To Tell All

The Daily Beast:

Another player in the John Edwards love child drama is speaking out, telling editors he feels betrayed by the once-friendly Edwards family. Campaign worker Andrew Young who claimed to be the father of Rielle Hunter's child and was paid to take her into his home for eight months is shopping a tell-all book proposal dishing about the sex scandal.

Elizabeth Edwards' memoir may not be the only book John Edwards has to worry about. Last week, Andrew Young, a lifelong friend of Edwards and a longtime aide, began shopping a book to New York publishers; according to his proposal, represented by David McCormick at McCormick Williams, the book would chronicle the tale of his long friendship with the Edwards family, his attempt to help Edwards by taking a pregnant Rielle Hunter into his home to live with him and his wife, Cheri, and their three children, and the fallout when the press (and Elizabeth Edwards) caught wind of the plan.

To the Edwards and this entire group !

You Are F'N Parasites !

[Chubbster]

Why anyone even cares about this dweeb/fake populist/multimillionaire trial lawyer is beyond me. Why anyone even cared, past tense, made me shudder with worry for our country since he was so obviously doing a con job complete with phony sincerity and secret lust for power.

[rattler99]

just a typical dem*crap

[PaxEterna]

Along with all the other atrocious males ruining the planet, this one NEEDS TO GO AWAY.

[FRobert]

As a long-ago supporter of Edwards, I now don't even care enough to comment. Let's see what Sarah Palin is up to!

[samuelberg]

Ya just commented, FRobert.

[Travis bdboy]

Between his and his wifes book...I'm sure they can retire

[Chubbster]

To their 30,000 square foot mansion.

[ekoorb]

Where the chill in the air over breakfast must be rather unpleasant and life probably isn't that rich.

[eastwest49]

A book? Who would buy it? Why not a quick segment on Dr.Phil, and a summary spread in the National Inquirer?
(Don't forget to contact those Democratic Senators opposing the Public Option -see Bob Cesca's blog for linked list -somewhat more important than the Edwards' narcissistic nonsense)

[HatingTheGame]

Et tu Brutus? Then die Ceasar.

[spiritpony1]

As the stomach turns--------------I will say that IF Sarah the Moosehead runs, her perfect counterpoint would be John-----------then we will know country in the dog dooooo----

[Chubbster]

Yeah really, the height of absurdism.

[Steamboater]

Right spiritpony. Both talk family values with one cheating on his wife and the voters to boot, and the other with a teenage daughter she didn't have enough sense to give birth control pills too and let her date a teen who can't put a sentence together much less put a condom on.

[the964kid]

This is the obvious response to Elizabeth Edwards' book, and subsequent book tour. Her words and actions raised the value of a Rielle Hunter book, which will only make John, Elizabeth and the the Edwards campaign look very bad. Is this what Elizabeth wanted??

[roshni]

I've always felt that EE was misguided in airing her dirty laundry in public. The question of paternity is still up in the air, so whoever speaks about it is seeing dollar signs.

[Cherubim]

Prediction, mark it down on your calendar.
Andrew Young's book will never be published.

[FZliveson]

I can't believe I even bother to have negative feelings about the Edwards trio.
I just kind of gag when I see his sleazy face. Please just go away, Edwards.
You have outlived your very short political half-life

[Chubbster]

Obviously you are allergic to pretty ponies.

[FZliveson]

Whatever that is supposed to mean.
Care to actually say something?

[Chris202]

Edwards needs to put a stop to all of this NOW. He should admit everything: that he continued the affair, fathered the child, orchestrated the cover up and hush money, etc. Then everyone else wouldn't be able to make a buck off it by writing books or selling stories to the tabloids. Only then would his family stop paying for his incredible stupidity.

[redsongia]

I don't think he can admit everything. He's in sociopathic denial. I for one am glad he's being crucified in the press, as I could never stand this guy. He was always going to poor neighborhoods with this "on the verge of tears" look in his eyes that always struck me as insincere.

[Chubbster]

Insincere times ten million. It's all about the ego.

[roshni]

I think there may be a crime involved in the payoff, which is why he can;t confess.

[DC]

Making their sad drama an industry.

[DestinationsUnknown]

Yes- John - I want my money back first off-

Then- set an expample for the poverty stricken single mothers dealing with dead beat dads

[rattler99]

so you were d*mb enough to contribute to his campaign??? doesn't say much for you

[MizLiz]

How pathetic. I don't really care who is the biological father. Everyone connected with this tawdry tale has behaved in a low-class tacky manner. This child is going to grow up one day, and will no doubt do some research on her own...who knows what will be available in 20 years? She's going to be humiliated by what she finds.

[ofcoursejesusisblack]

Yes. It is unfortunate but it is the price her mother pays for bringing this child into the world in such distateful circumstances.

[roshni]

And the father???? The one who has still to claim her?

[GeorgeP922]

Nobody cares, and newsflash Edwards and Daschle, we hate you guys, you sold our your party.

Both of you had terrible secrets that embaressed our party.

Please go away (plus, we just don't like losers, as in people who lose elections)
