ABC News reports that John Edwards, former Democratic vice presidential nominee (2004) and candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination (2008) has admitted having an affair with film maker Rielle Hunter. He claims, however, that he is not the father of her child.
John Edwards is an admitted serial liar, trial lawyer (forgive the tautology), and womanizer. He is in the fine Democratic tradition of William Jefferson Clinton, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, and Franklin Delano Roosevelt, all serial liars and womanizers. Unlike those three worthies, John Edwards hasn't accomplished much to balance his marital infidelities.
Although he claims their affair ended before that child was conceived, his recent late night visit to Hunter and child in a Beverly Hills hotel has been documented. It appears to be almost impossible for serial liars (or womanizers) to break the habit.
