Elizabeth Edwards and John Edwards Separate, Can Divorce in One Year
By Emily Miller - Politics DailyElizabeth Edwards and former two-time Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards are legally separated, according to her spokesperson. The Edwardses reside in North Carolina, which allows for divorce after a couple lives separately for 12 months. Edwards' spokesperson would not give information on the date of the filing of the legal separation documents. Custody and visitation arrangements for the couple's youngest children, Emma Claire and Jack, are unclear, as is their financial arrangement during the separation period. "She said, 'I've had it.

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 ...
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 ...
Rielle Hunter Said to Seek $17,000 a Month From John Edwards in Child Support
By Emily Miller - Politics DailyRielle Hunter wants John Edwards to pay $17,910 a month in child support for her daughter, Frances Quinn Hunter, according to the National Enquirer. Private financial negotiations between Hunter and Edwards reportedly broke down last week when her demands for the 22-month-old child were more than the former senator and presidential candidate was willing to pay. Edwards has never publicly acknowledged that he is the girl's father, but did admit to an affair with Hunter at a time when his wife, Elizabeth, was battling cancer. Now, legal documents obtained by Radaronline.com appear to show ...
