RSSNational Enquirer Claims Photos of John Edwards and his Love Child Frances Quinn Hunter
The National Enquirer is claiming to have pictures of John Edwards and his love child Frances Quinn Hunter. The main stream media claims they are being responsible in reporting this story. Or is it that they just want this embarrassing John Edwards story to go away and be the the story that you never see?
The NATIONAL ENQUIRER is releasing the photograph that the world has been waiting for – the first-ever picture of John Edwards and his love child!
The stunning “spy photo” shows the former presidential contender holding his infant daughter Frances Quinn Hunter at the Beverly Hilton hotel in Los Angeles – where the ENQUIRER caught him visiting the baby’s mother, his mistress Rielle Hunter.Edwards is holding his love child while standing in front of a distinctive striped curtain.
The problem with any type of story like this is that if there is not an emphatic denial and reason provided by John Edwards to explain away the pictures, the perception is that one is hiding something. There usually is a little truth in all stories, even if the story gets stretched a bit. The blurred tabloid pics cause pause. However, it is 100% confirmed that John Edwards was at the hotel. Now the question he must ask is why. Is the above pic real or faux, who knows. The fact that the MSM refuses to cover the story because they are claiming to be responsible is nonsense. If John Edwards was a Republican this story would have been covered much differently.
However, one would pose the question if the tabloid story is an unfounded lie … where is the John Edwards law suit??? He is a trial lawyer.
FNC Talks of Edwards Affair & the Media, NYT Double Standards
Think that the National Enquirer article is not having an effect on Edwards? With two weeks to go before the Democratic National Convention, the tabloid’s claims threaten Edwards’ role at the Democrats party convention. This little scandal just doesn’t seem to be going away. Now with the Convention just a short time away, the MSM may be forced into covering the John Edwards love child scandal and as Flopping Aces says, “forced to report the news”.
If Edwards fails to clear up the story in short order, he risks party officials deciding not to have him speak or, if they do, creating a distraction from a week focused on Barack Obama accepting the nomination.
“If there is not an explanation that’s satisfactory, acceptable and meets high moral standards, the answer is ‘no,’ he would not be a prime candidate to make a major address to the convention,” said Don Fowler, a former Democratic National Committee chair.
Dems call on Edwards to address affair rumors
Instead some Democrats say convention organizers will try to avoid the lingering questions if Edwards himself doesn’t talk.
“He absolutely does have to [resolve it]. If it’s not true, he has to issue a stronger denial,” said Gary Pearce, the Democratic strategist who ran Edwards’ 1998 Senate race. “It’s a very damaging thing. … The big media has tried to be responsible and handle this with kid gloves, but it’s clearly getting ready to bust out. If it’s not true, he’s got to stand up and say, ‘This is not true. That is not my child and I’m going to take legal action against the people who are spreading these lies.’ It’s not enough to say, ‘That’s tabloid trash.’ ”

A blurry photo of someone that looks like JE holding a baby in what appears to be the same sweatty t-shirt he wore while working out months before even though the the reporter claims that JE was wearing a dress shirt without a tie and sleeves rolled up and there is no pictures of him dodging all these reporters and photographers at the hotel and its all heresay and no video interviews with any of all these witnesses all written up in a gossip rag?
So believable.
That darn John Edwards! How dare he be a typical politician AND a human being in need of physical intimacy while his wife is too sick to do anything, that baxtard!
A slight distraction from the real problem in the DNC if you ask me. Wonder who thought of it?
Yep, its our boy Johnny Edwards. Rumors of a affair (possible) pregnancy were surfaced back during the primary. Is this why Johnny bowed out? He was a strong 3rd place, admanant about not quitting and then one day, zoom, down the crapper.
Or is this picture something else?
Elizabeth, what will she say? If true, JE will be labeled a heel, after all those talk show appearances with his wife and the battle they fought together on her illness, etc.
Yes he is human, yes yes, we know. But unfortunately the public is unforgiving. If wife was on death bed, maybe, but she was working on recovery, he was preaching he was the man for change and new direction.
Dems don’t want a Gary Hart all over again, so we will see what unfolds next. Of course all of this has to be true and he isn’t just holding his granddaughter or the baby of a friend.
Next on as the Obama Turns, will Hillary and Bill grow up and play nice? Will JE confess to love child? Will Michelle Obama resurface?
Stayed tuned bat fans……
Can’t be him – That’s only a $50 haircut
I thought he was gay – he has a super lisp and a weak handshake… even I am wrong once a century.
so, the guy has a love child. what would you guys do crucify him ? burn him at the stake ? you should be more worried about the guys that are actually running for president. if it’s mccain, we won’t see much of a change. if it’s osamabama, we should all have a plan and a safe place to go when the country starts suffering worse than it is now.

SM: The point of the story is not that the Breck girl has a love child … its media bias!!!
Imagine if it were McCain, GWM or any Republican … it would be FP on all papers. Thats the point.

John Edwards admitted affair. Yes, a man of conviction, while your wife is struggling with breast cancer. Selfish…. comes to mind….
LOL……..LOL…
Knew it was true…
I feel really bad for his wife and kids
wouldn’t it have been real funny if he was the Dem’s nominee?
The Dems are real friends to the women of the USA. They take advantage of them every chance they get.
[...] UPDATE III: National Enquirer Claims Photos of John Edwards and his Love Child Frances Quinn Hunter [...]
When we posted this story in Dec. 2007 (and we certainly weren’t the only blog to do so) the article was hit about 6,000 times, leading me to believe that it was absolutely newsworthy with or without Edward’s admission. After all – all the same elements are there. Not much has changed in a half a year.
The fly in the ointment here though is that is shows pretty plainly how bent the media is. Oh yeah, I know, they’ll cover liberal goofs when they absolutely have to. The cable news networks are forcing them to cover all sorts of things they didn’t want to cover before….
However the newspapers – like the NY Times will splash an unproven story about an alleged McCain affair all over the front page, while the Edwards story (which has had sources, photos and the woman’s own allegations) was flatly ignored.
Now the liberal press proports “he’s not running for anything, why does it matter?”
Well, the story happened when he was running for something – he then was a viable VP candidate and lastly, yes, he is STILL in active in the political process, stumping for Obama (until now anyway).
To say it’s not a legitimate, serious story is pure nonsense – and since I seriously doubt Edwards is coming clean about the child being his, it will continue to be a story.
The aggravating thing to me is the simple fact that if one of our soliders messes up on the battlefield, fighting for their lives… the media will run with that story for years and years.
Type GITMO into a Google search and count the major media links appear by the hundreds and probably thousands.
Let one of their own mess up, lie about it, cover it up…. and it’s page 18 news at the very most.
