Mistress: I Like My DNA The Old Fashion Way

John Edwards may have dodged a bullet. That's what she said!

Edwards' love on the side, Rielle Hunter, is not going to ask for a paternity test to prove whether or not her 5-month-old daughter is John's.

Both Rielle and Edwards claim that due to timing, the baby couldn't be his. According to the NY Post, there's no father listed on birth certificate and Rielle wants to "maintain her privacy and her daughter's privacy."

If this really isn't his child you would think that she would want to prove it isn't his. Just another cheating man like the rest of them. And when his wife has incurable cancer, Nice.. Jerk!!! Also in his interview he claims he has no idea who the child he was holding in the picture is AND he don't know if that is really him in the picture or not. Huh? He is so full of it, ugh this man disgusts me!

Where's the "I don't give a f**k" option? This crap is between John and Elizabeth.

you need a 'FOOKING HELL NO" option on the survey. He's still an arogant SOB and she's as dumb as a doornail if they think the American public is stupid enough to believe either one of them is telling the truth.

Well Chic, my funny little rabid right-wing nut. I really don't give a f**k that John McCain dumped his first wife, who waited for him and raised his children while he was a prisoner, and whom he dumped after getting back home and saw that she had been disfigured in an auto accident and also gained a lot of weight. And then chased around until he found a younger, prettier, richer woman to be his trophy wife. I care about who will try to raise this country up out of the gutter that GWB and you supporters put it in.

TMZhires13yearolds IS a 13 year old. Every post is nasty, and apparently he/she doesn't understand the concept that by coming here and posting, he/she is supporting TMZ. Silly little liberal.

If she really want "privacy" for her child, and the child was not Edwards, she would get the test and the story would end about who the child's father was.

No test = extended tabloid coverage of her child

This is a private matter between John and his family. Shame on you for trying to make it more of a political thing than it actually is. Who is to say that any of the Republicans who are/were in contention for the VP position didn't have an affair? Or do they all just do the little toe- tapping in the restroom to get another man's attention? Face it, both Republican and Democrat politicians have skeletons in their closets, and instead of spewing hate toward them and focusing on the negative, think about what he has done for people compared to what others have done.

samsam:  1282 days ago

ah, blue. then i would say the same can be said for you...if commenting is supporting. and the truth is..this counrtry republican or democrat got way past who someone sleeps with affecting the outcome of any voting. and really, it doesn't matter. It's sad because we have no moral fiber. but no one wants to do anything about it, so i guess then we just deal with it. and thats it, i've supported the 13 year olds at TMZ : )

If it's privacy for her daughter that she REALLY cares about, and if Edwards is not the father, she'd have the DNA test done so the press would leave them alone. So either he's the dad or she wants the publicity. I'll take Baby Daddy for 1000, Alex.

I want to know how does this effect my life? Who cares about these people? They are all private citizens now. Forgetaboutit. There are more serious problems than these pols having affairs.

At least McCain has admitted that his first marriage ended up in divorce because of his behavior & Edwards is still covering up.
We would have to be morons to believe this guy.
