John Edwards and 'Camera Girl' Rielle Hunter: Did Reporters Miss the Picture?
By Jill Lawrence - Politics DailyThe latest evidence that John Edwards deserves a lifetime achievement award for most reckless, narcissistic behavior by a presidential candidate: He and Rielle Hunter, aka Camera Girl, didn't use birth control during their lengthy affair. At least that's what Hunter told Oprah Winfrey on Thursday. That may have been Edwards' worst mistake. Hunter says hers was agreeing to let Edwards aide Andrew Young take responsibility for fathering her child. That decision, at the behest of Edwards and with the incomprehensible acquiescence of Young, might have been the low point of one of the most ...

John Edwards Sex Tape with Rielle Hunter Alleged in Andrew Young Book
By Emily Miller - Politics DailyJohn Edwards' former staffer Andrew Young supposedly has a sex tape made by Edwards and Rielle Hunter, according to Gawker. Let's face it, Young has lied before: He previously claimed paternity of Edwards' daughter with Hunter, and if we believe him now, was willing to drive his own life over a cliff to cover up for his boss. But he now insists that he became disillusioned when he discovered the sex tape in 2007...in his friend Hunter's home. (Gee, was it hidden on the coffee table, along with an open box of chocolates?) Doubtless the motivation of a book contract had nothing to do with ...

Two weeks ago, I called for the National Enquirer to get the prestigious ...

By Terence Moore - AOL NewsWe're in the midst of that season when thoughts around the world turn toward the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Anyway, after years of detailed biographies, endless documentaries and the constant releasing of secret audio tapes on the drum major for justice, I have a revelation. "He was Spud Webb," Andrew Young told FanHouse, and Young should know as one of Dr. King's top lieutenants who regularly was victimized on basketball courts by the 5-foot-7 point guard who preferred the post. Added Young, "Martin was small, but he always wanted to play under the basket. He was very quick, and he ...
