It must be nice being a poor little rich boy living in the upper half of John Edwards’ Two Americas.
Not only does he get to cheat on his cancer-stricken wife and impregnate some bimbo but he also gets to hide from reporters in a men’s room in the Beverly Hilton when he gets caught after a late night rendezvous with her and hotel security has to protect him.
Now it turns out that Edwards has been paying hush money to said bimbo in the amount of $15,000. a month with a little help from a “super-rich pal.” (http://www.nationalenquirer.com/john_edwards_huh_money_to_mistress/celebrity/65226)
Of course, since all this is based on reports in a supermarket tabloid, who can say if any of it is true. Then again, if it’s all a pack of lies, hotshot lawyer Edwards can always sue The National Enquirer for damages. Then again, the two Enquirer reporters have already filed a criminal complaint against the Hilton because the security guys roughed them up and they may sue for damages. Then again, said 44 year old bimbo could decide $180,000. per annum is inadequate compensation and she could sue Senator Edwards for a bigger slice of his pie.
As Shakespeare wrote, “To thine ownself be true and thou canst not be false to any man,” words to live by for John Edwards.
Meanwhile, back home in their mansion, Elizabeth Edwards struggles alone with Stage IV breast cancer as her hubby cavorts.
