So John Edwards admits that he had an affair with a woman he didn’t love, but says the love child he’s accused of fathering is not his. If you believe reports in the National Enquirer, the paper that pursued the story most doggedly, the mea culpa must be a big relief to an unnamed “rich retiree in Dallas” who was allegedly writing checks for $15k/month to Rielle Hunter (the woman) to keep quiet. The retiree was also allegedly writing checks to Edwards’ aide Andrew Young to claim paternity of the child. Radar Online has been tracking it too (and is where I found the Dallas connection).
