Elizabeth Edwards Says It Wasn't Easy to Leave John
By not in system - AOL NewsRALEIGH, N.C. (June 29) - Elizabeth Edwards says it was not easy to leave her husband in the wake of the two-time presidential contender's infidelity, writing in a new chapter to her memoir that she still sees in him the memories of their 30 years together. Edwards says in the updated version of her book released Tuesday that she spent two years trying to "reinvent" her role as a wife so that they could stay together despite the affair. But she says the "tender thread" holding the family together unraveled at the very end of 2009 - three years after John Edwards first told his wife in private ...

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 ...
National Enquirer Continues Campaign for Pulitzer Prize Despite Pushback
By Emily Miller - Politics DailyNational Enquirer Editor Barry Levine said Friday that he is still going to nominate his reporters for a Pulitzer Prize, despite the Pulitzer committee chair's pre-emptive strike to try to stop the process. The prize administrator, Sig Gissler, said that the National Enquirer is ineligible because it's considered a magazine and because most of the reporting on the John Edwards affair and cover-up was before 2009, according to ABC News. After hearing of Gissler's comments before the Enquirer had submitted forms for the nomination, which are due Feb. 1, Levine told me that the Pulitzer ...
John Edwards Is the Father? You Don't Say!
By Donna Trussell - Politics DailyThe only mystery left on the John Edwards story is why everyone is still talking about it. Looks like a cat-bites-toy tale to me.After months of public denials, John Edwards has finally admitted he's the father of Rielle Hunter's 22-month-old baby girl. Yes, Edwards proved less trustworthy than his John-Boy looks suggested, but I thought Washington was used to that. I feel sorry for John. He's ripped right out of the pages of a Shakespearean tragedy. The word "scandal" will forever be attached to his name. My advice to him is to devote the rest of his life to obscurity and philanthropy. ...
National Enquirer Submits for Pulitzer Prize After John Edwards Admits Paternity of Rielle Hunter's Daughter
By Emily Miller - Politics DailyBarry Levine, editor of the National Enquirer, is nominating his reporters for a Pulitzer Prize for their work in uncovering the John Edwards affair. Levine told me that Edwards' admission Thursday that he fathered a daughter with a campaign videographer during his 2008 presidential run made him decide to submit nomination forms for his reporters in two categories: for distinguished investigative reporting by a team, presented in a series of articles, and for a distinguished example of reporting on national affairs. Two weeks ago, I called for the National Enquirer to get the prestigious ...
Does the National Enquirer Deserve a Pulitzer for Breaking the John Edwards Scandal?
By Emily Miller - Politics DailyThe National Enquirer is a supermarket tabloid, but the time has come for the media elite to admit that it has an excellent investigative reporting team, which broke the biggest political scandal of 2009, the John Edwards affair. While its own editor concedes that the paper would never be given a Pulitzer Prize -- the jury is dominated by the newspaper establishment -- I believe the time has come for us to recognize the Enquirer's political investigative reporting. Though I don't know the other nominees for the 2009 investigative category (the deadline isn't until February), and I'm sure ...

According to the Enquirer, the allegations are in a book proposal by former Edwards aide Andrew Young in which he says he falsely claimed to have fathered Rielle Hunter's 19-month-old daughter, Frances. ...
