The story, or at least John Edwards' version of it, simply makes no sense.
His statement to the Press on Friday raises more questions than it answers. But he ended his remarks by saying that after giving the statement he would say nothing more about the matter.
How convenient.
Here are 3 key questions for Senator Edwards:
1. Now that we know Rielle Hunter, your supposed 'ex' mistress, will refuse to participate in a paternity test for her child, doesn't that make your offer of 'taking any test to prove you are not the father' just a tad disingenuous, particularly if you knew in advance she would refuse to participate, making your offer a moot point?
2. If Rielle is indeed your 'ex' mistress and the child is not yours, then what were you doing with them in her hotel room in Beverly Hills on the night of July 21, from roughly 10 PM until roughly 3 AM?
3. If you know beyond any shadow of a doubt that you are not the father of the child, then why didn't you go ahead and have the paternity test in advance, making the results known to reporters and the world when you made your 'confession' on Friday? If such a test would prove you are not the father, then having the results available as soon as you finally admitted to the sordid mess would certainly have put an immediate stop to the speculation.
Until John Edwards answers these 3 key questions, then we can only assume he has more to hide--much more to hide.
The National Enquirer insists that it has more information and more pictures, including video footage.
And contrary to the notion that such things are 'private' and have no business being reported in the news, such things are vital to the public interest. The voters have a right to know about the character of the person they are considering supporting, right?
After all, this is the common mantra of the media and liberals every time a conservative or Republican is caught in a sex scandal.
Edwards has always held out his family and marriage as stellar examples of his character. Now we know of the hypocrisy of that tactic. He has not been who he says he is, and THAT is news.
My hunch is that Edwards threw the Press a bone to chew on in order to try to squelch the story and move on without telling the whole story. In that sense he is still lying, and there is much more to this story than the small part Edwards made public.
If the National Enquirer is telling the truth, then what Edwards stated on Friday is only the tip of the iceberg.

EDWARDS ADMITS WHAT MSM REFUSED TO REPORT
The late-breaking news this afternoon is that former Democratic Presidential hopeful John Edwards has admitted to an affair and sex scandal that the 'stalwart, unbiased, and non-partisan members of the mainstream media' refused to report.
It took the National Enquirer, of all publications, to break the story and run with it.
With the Los Angeles Times instructing its bloggers to go mum on the story, and with other major mainstream media outlets sitting on a major scandal involving a major Democrat, the blogosphere was the place for the information.
Edwards admitted to the affair that he says happened in 2006 prior to running for the Democratic Presidential nomination. He also claims he told his wife, who is suffering from metastatic cancer, about the affair. But he denies that the 'love child' is his.
Do you have DNA proof of that, Senator? I mean, you have lied to the media repeatedly about the affair since December of 2007. So, how do we know you are telling the truth about the child without DNA proof?
The child's birth certificate lists no father.
Edwards has stated that he will take any test necessary to prove that he is not the father of the child born to Rielle Hunter, the woman with whom he had the affair. The National Enquirer has stated they will publish the test results no matter what they show, although they stand by their original story that Edwards is the father.
As expected, the mainstream media reported the story this evening only when forced to do so by the Senator's own admission, allowing Edwards to spin it the way he wanted before the story was reported. And then the MSM spin doctors went to work as well.
Bob Schieffer at CBS spoke of the Edwards as if they were old pals and focused on the fact that Elizabeth Edwards' response to the affair is that she had 'forgiven him.'
It was as if poor John Edwards is a 'sympathetic' character. After all, if his own wife could forgive him, then so can we.
The Democratic National Convention, however, doesn't seem to be so forgiving. A DNC official stated late today that Edwards would not be speaking at the Party convention this year in Denver.
Fox News has the complete story.

Photos Show Edwards With 'Love Child'
The National Enquirer has now released secret photos taken of former Democratic Presidential candidate John Edwards, D-NC, and his alleged 'love child' and mistress, during a visit he made to the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel on the night of July 21.
While the national mainstream media has been totally mum on the story, the Edwards scandal has been widely reported in the major mainstream newspapers of North Carolina, including the Charlotte Observer and the Raleigh News & Observer.
The blogosphere, however, has done what the MSM has refused to do--expose a high-level, powerful Democrat in a major scandal that will probably end Edwards' political career. Gateway Pundit is one such alternative news source that has done an excellent job in reporting this scandal.
Thus, the question remains, when will the national mainstream media report this story? And more importantly, how will they slant it once they report it?

EDWARDS SCANDAL EXPLODES IN LEGAL ACTION
THE NATIONAL ENQUIRER has filed a criminal complaint in Beverly Hills, California, contending that a security guard acted illegally in interrupting their questioning of former U.S. Senator and Vice-Presidential candidate John Edwards, D-NC.
Now that a criminal complaint has been filed, Edwards will be forced to answer official police questions concerning the incident that led to the complaint, which the National Enquirer says involves a clandestine rendezvous at the Beverly Hilton between Edwards, his mistress, and their love-child on the night of July 21.
In a related development, the mainstream media is frantically attempting to keep the Edwards scandal off of its front-page news.
According to reports published by Matt Drudge on Saturday, bloggers at the Los Angeles Times have been instructed not to mention the incident involving Edwards at the Beverly Hilton.
But the attempts to keep the story under wraps may prove to be a lesson in futility once Edwards is required to answer a police inquiry into the actions of a Hilton Hotel security guard who escorted the former Senator out of the building while reporters for the Enquirer were attempting to question Edwards.

JOHN EDWARDS CAUGHT WITH PANTS DOWN
Former U.S. Senator and Vice-Presidential candidate John Edwards (D-NC) has been caught with his pants down after meeting his mistress and their love child at a hotel this week.
Matt Drudge first broke the story concerning Edwards' extramarital affair and love child last December, as reported on The Liberty Sphere.
At the time Edwards was running for the Democratic nomination for President.
The story produced a string of strongly-worded denials by Edwards and his staff.
Yet this week the National Enquirer was on the scene where Edwards met the woman and child--the Beverly Hilton on Monday night, July 21.
The Enquirer reports that the former Senator was in the woman's hotel room all night and was seen leaving the next morning.
Edwards' wife is at home in the fight of her life against cancer.

Matt Drudge: Edwards Love-Child Scandal Brewing
Note! Scroll down for late-breaking update, including the name and picture of the woman.
Matt Drudge is reporting a major breaking story, published by the National Enquirer, which contends that Democratic Presidential hopeful John Edwards is embroiled in a love-child scandal in which the mother is being kept in hiding.
The woman, who has not yet been named, is purportedly carrying Edwards' child and is being kept out of public view.
This still-developing story is short on details at this point. For this reason a link will be provided below that will take you directly to the Drudge Report website for further updated information.
If this story turns out to be true, it will sound the death-toll for the Edwards campaign. You can bet your last birth control pill that Americans, even within the Democratic Party, are not going to stand for a candidate who sires a love child while his wife is dying of cancer.
