Edwards: Secret Wedding, Dave Matthews?

Posted Sep 20th 2009 9:46AM by TMZ Staff

John EdwardsNo, it's not a storyline on "Guiding Light" (RIP) -- but rather the latest chapter in the John Edwards mistress scandal.

The guy who once claimed he was the father of the child born to Edwards' mistress, Rielle Hunter, is now claiming Edwards is the real daddy (duh!) and that Edwards once promised Hunter he would marry her after his wife died (she's sick with cancer) -- this according to a book proposal obtained by the NY Times.

Andrew Young, Edwards' former aide, claims Edwards told Hunter it would be a rooftop wedding and the Dave Matthews Band would make an appearance, the Times says.

Because it's the dream of every major recording artist to play at the wedding of a disgraced politician to the mistress they had a child out of wedlock with after the politician's first wife dies of cancer.

2. This guy's a narcissist.
Glad he never made it to the presidency.
Too bad they didn't weed out Clinton before He did His damage.

3. He is such a turd. I'm glad he's gone. Didn't he support Obama? He'll support a communist but not his dying wife.

6. It may be a wedding in PRISON. Edwards is accused of paying her off with campaign funds. He really screwed his supporters and AMERICA. He does not deserve a lovely wife like Elizabeth.

7. re 4
I mean ,really,What's the difference between Edwards and Clinton?
Clinton was much worse.But Edwards wife has/had cancer .So that makes Edwards worse?He's just doing what He saw Clinton do.
Whereas Clinton was prepared to use the full force of the government to destroy little Monica Lewinski.
Narcissists see these things happen and they just throw morality out the window for relativism.

8. Hey Shotgun - get those dogs off the porch and tell your first cousin-wife to get breakfast going. After she feeds your other five.

Stick to what you know. The woods. Don't be talking about things that are miles - Miles over your head.

9. What a lying scumbag. But then, he is a DemocRAT so it's to be expected.

10. John Edwards disgusts me. Any man who could have an affair and baby with another woman while his wife is dying of cancer, well this is very revealing of his true character. Not good politician material. I'm glad that immoral piece of sh*t narcissist is out of politics. He will never get back in again ... the public despises him and Riel. What a disgraceful human being ... people make mistakes but this is the epitome of a fall from grace.

11. His wife is an idiot to be staying with him. Give me a break. He's a loser and as someone said, a narcissist.

12. How can a politician be sooooooo stupid as to think he would get away with having an affair/impregnating a woman and trying to hide it all? What a dumb-arse. Good riddance Edwards ... I'm glad we don't have to look at your ugly face anymore (the picture above tells a true story). Can you imagine how many further lives he would have ruined (in fact, an entire nation) if he had proceeded as the democratic candidate? And all the people who worked so hard on his campaign. What a selfish little SOB ... and just for a piece of arse!

15. I think it's better when a wife does stay with the cheating little SOB. Like Dr. Phil says ... she'll spend the rest of her life making his life miserable, making him feel guilty, accountable, etc. Why should that SOB get a "free get out of jail card"? No way ... Elizabeth needs to hang on to him; don't let Riel get her sk*nky hands on him; Elizabeth needs to make him feel miserable and guilty and like a big poop for the rest of her's/his days ... you never know, the guilt may be chewing at him and he may die first! Apparently, he is waiting on Elizabeth hand and foot; so his guilty conscience is causing him to treat her and the kids like queen bees. Good for Elizabeth! Ha! make him pay!
