John Edwards To Mistress: Dave Matthews Will Play At Our Wedding

Rate: 1 Flag


The Really: …after my wife is dead. Really. Well you never know.

The newspaper of record grabs back the John Edwards, Rielle Hunter story from The National Enquirer by examining the book proposal to St. Martins Press of former Edward’s aide Andrew Young. In the Times article today by Neil Lewis:

“In the proposal, which The New York Times examined, Mr. Young asserts that he assisted the affair by setting up private meetings between Mr. Edwards and Ms. Hunter. He wrote that Mr. Edwards once calmed an anxious Ms. Hunter by promising her that after his wife died, he would marry her in a rooftop ceremony in New York with an appearance by the Dave Matthews Band.”

There is also speculation that Edwards will admit he lied about the child’s paternity and Hunter may be moving to North Carolina in the future. The actions of the grand jury regarding Edward’s use of campaign funds is still to come.

The Caucus has a piece about Edward's association with a member of the Dave Matthews band which may explain his belief that he could get the band to play for him.

I'll be curious to see if it ever hits the press. Edwards has enough money to pay him NOT to write a book, and I don't see why Young would betray him now, after hanging by him all this time...

But, it would be hillarious if the book did get published.
bizarre man.
I wonder how dave matthews feels about this....
did edwards have ties to matthews, or was he just throwing it out because rielle likes dave matthews, or maybe it was middle-aged edwards way of attempting to be hip??
@VZN I added a link above about Edward's association with DMB and why he thought they would play at his fantasy wedding. Why he thought in today's day and age that no one would find out about his "secret" baby is another of his fantasies.
The Dave Matthews part of the story is really hilarious, and highlights how ridiculous a former serious contender for the highest office in the land has become. A rooftop wedding in New York after my wife with cancer dies? Please. And to think I was once an Edwards supporter. I feel like I dodged a really big bullet, which only would have been worse if I'd been married to the guy.
I may have to write about this article tomorrow, because I think you missed my favorite line---not that the rooftop line isn't pretty special.

I've been thinking about it since I read it this morning. My first reaction was a wish that Edwards would catch a disease that would rot his balls off. For his mistress, I can only hope that there is a hell and that she has a special circle all to herself.
