By Lisa Flam - AOL News(June 30) -- Elizabeth Edwards says her husband's mistress is so different from her it's hard to understand how he could have been attracted to both women.

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.

Doubtless the motivation of a book contract had nothing to do with ...
