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

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":"
