Mickey Kaus writes<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The Enquirer<\/em> has indeed already moved on to the Edwards "coverup." Their latest issue<\/a> alleges:<\/p>\n

\n

John Edwards’ mistress, Rielle Hunter – the mother of his "love child" – has been secretly receiv­ing $15,000 a month as part of an elaborate cover-u<\/strong>p orchestrated by the former presidential contender. …<\/p>\n

You can read a better analysis of the Edwards\/Rielle Hunter scandal on will.i.am’s Dipdive<\/em> "lifestyle engine"<\/a> than in the mighty Los Angeles Times<\/em>. … Of course, you can’t read any<\/em> analysis of the Edwards\/Rielle Hunter scandal in the mighty Los Angeles Times<\/em>.

I asked Pierce if the metro desk had the chance to follow up on the story, and if so, would he send out another post allowing his bloggers to write about it. He said that to his knowledge the LA Times reporters hadn’t found any additional information and expressed some skepticism of the National Enquirer story’s authenticity.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
