The Politician: Andrew Young on John Edwards' affair
John Edwards' recent admission that he fathered a child with mistress Rielle Hunter is sure to pump up sales of "The Politician," a tell-all by former aide Andrew Young. (Hell hath no fury like a trusted aide cut loose.) Tonight, ABC News correspondent Bob Woodruff will interview Young on "20/20" about the juiciest details contained in the book, which is scheduled for a Jan. 30 release. Baltimore Sun TV critic David Zurawik will be posting his thoughts about the interview tonight on his blog. Meanwhile, here's the ABC News preview:

Wow - John Edwards - was it worth it.? As far as the sex tape - pls no one wants to see this, and more importantly there is a small child involved. How could someone as "high faluent" as John Edwards thought he was - end up in this Jerry Springer type situation

First of all how could, Andrew Young, and his wife, agree to claim it was his baby, and now say all the things they said, with Elizabeth, fighting cancer and already hurt, from the whole situation.
It is ashame, it is all about money.

This is not anyone's fault but John Edwards, he uses people & situation and throw them away. He only confessed because he knew the book is coming out and he went to Haiti not to help but for his own good publicity, what a coincident that there were medias when he arrived there,
if he really wanted to help in Haiti he would have been there earlier not 11 days later.
I cannot blame the Youngs trying to make money, he was promised a job but then Edwards lied again, I would have done the same. Hope they make tons of money from the book!

It is a good thing Edwards did not become a vice president, he is obviously not a reliable person, as far as Young, he is as well not a good person, Edwards was after power and Young after money. If Edwards is such a bad person, and he probably is, Young worked closely with him for 9 years, and he did not realize this until he saw a chance to make money???

First of all, I've had problems myself before.
Secondly- are the readers of this blog so "born yesterday" that they are not aware of sex- the sex drive of males- how males relate to females in many, many cases- etc. etc. etc.? O yes- there can be loyal men- I know that.
Do some readers realize that we, like Bonabo chimps, are animals?
I don't even post w the sun tv guy, Zurawik any more- he is so incapable of dealing w reality- in my opinion. Is he going to reveal his sexual proclivities? Is he going to be honest?
Do you think- dear Read St readers- that "personalities" are honest- that politicians are? Get yrself a nice big wallet for the Broooklyn Bridge-
The endless hypocrisy of so many in this society- I hate it- maybe like J D Salinger did!
I'm not condoning Edwards behavior. I'm saying some men have wandering johnsons (if you get my "drift"). Now Barak Obama- he strikes me as a true family man- Bush you would have to wonder about.
Do Read St. readers know that harems are permitted in some societies? (like LDS?- LOL)
Does Michelle know what she has? Would she ever say so? No- because she can not! Thus, she is imprisoned.
oh oh- here comes the capcha
dave and nancy can't u put that feature on that helps us change the capcha- they can be DAMN HARD TO READ!
looks like tampon????

and while i'm on my soapbox:
God bless Elizabeth Edwards and John if they could stay together- God Bless Riall (sp) and her child and maybe- w John's money- they can all be supported well and make their own decisions. Do you think this love child will be a bad person?!?!?
Give me a break.
What is love?
Press has handled these stories horribly. Only the Enquirer can even break them. (not that it presents "reality" that much either).

Taking aside what Edwards did, anyone who has Andrew Young for a friend, let alone a confidant, should watch out for him. He is a man not to be trusted. I'm sure he has is own skeletons in the closet and how I wish that anyone who knows anything about him would come out and speak up. Young is a greedy person who would degrade his own mother if there was money in it for him.
