— Ace I never gave this much play because I figured it was likely bullshit. Anyone selling a tell-all book has a huge financial incentive to claim as many explosive, lurid details as possible.
So, if there was a tape, Andrew Young had a strong reason to claim there was.
But, if there was not a tape, Andrew Young had an equally strong reason to claim there was.
There was no way to say which of those two was at work here, so I just sort of ignored the sex-tape claim. Well, I mentioned it, I think. But I didn't have any reason to believe it was a real claim.
The two-time failed presidential candidate's former mistress, Rielle Hunter, has obtained a court order demanding that a former Edwards aide turn over videotapes and photos Hunter says belong to her, reports CBS News Correspondent Tara Mergener.Andrew Young's tell-all book, "The Politician," which is slated to hit stores Saturday, makes the explosive claim that Young found a sex tape made by Hunter and Edwards just months before the January 2008 Iowa caucus, Mergener says.
Do the materials Hunter is after include that tape?
According to the Maj. Charles Blackwood of the Orange County, N.C. Sheriff's Office, the restraining order "speaks to video recordings and photographs that depict matters of a private and personal nature."
Young refused to hand over the tapes and photos to the Sheriff's Office on Thursday, reports Mergener.
Supposedly, Edwards is clearly identifiable on the tape, but the woman he's with isn't. Whatever that means. We know it's Rielle. (Or... we think we know that.)
Shocker, huh? Edwards makes a sex tape and makes sure he's the only one in frame and the woman he's banging is barely visible. I never would have guessed that. Ever.
I'm not sure Young will comply. He may want to hold on to the tape as evidence should one of these two solid citizens launch a defamation suit.
He may turn the tape over only if he extracts a signed legal admission from Rielle that the tape is real and therefore no defamation suit can flow from his mention of it.
Either way, though, I don't see him releasing it. His book will sell well enough and I don't think he wants to invite legal troubles or suits here.
So it may exist, but you'll never see it.
Praise the Creator.
Incidentally, what I hear? I hear John Edwards fornicates like a symphony.
Thanks to Lord Raiden.

12 A question: Who the hell leaves a sex tape just sort of lying around? Wouldn't you lock that up somewhere? (Not that I have any experience with that kind of thing, mind you.)
What's the point of making the tape if you can't show off to every 12 year old with a computer?

Orange County, NC. Our little liberal town hits the national news for something other than college basketball!
Seriously, you should see the PALACE that that "friend of the little guy" built for himself. Sickening. Raised the property tax rates so the less well-off around him could no longer afford that neighborhood.
Making a sex-tape right before a presidential primary seems like a dumb-ass decision that John Edwards would make. I believe it.

(FYI - I live in NC and voted for Lauch Faircloth, which was hard because he was a gross, sweaty looking old guy - but Edwards' commercials gave me the creeps - all about the two toddlers running down a sunny hill and then John and a fuzzy, fat Elizabeth in the backround...)

When I read about it, I wondered if she surrepetitiousy made the tape. Is it more likely the person who made the tape would hide their face or show their face. I say hide.
Plus, given the background, she looks like the instigator, the aggressor. She seems to have been on a crotch-first voyage through life, trying to get an angle. According to the author, she told Edwards she couldn't get pregnant.
"I gonna git mysef knocked-up by a rich, famous man." Not that Edwards is a sympathetic person at all, but in the case of Hunter, it's time to dust-off the "c-word."

I'm sure Edwards had a helmet camera, pointing back toward him.
I know I don't want to see a millisecond of the tape, but a couple of still frames of Johnny Boy's "grimaces" would be fucking hilarious.

On a more serious note: this guy--this nearly vice-presidential guy who could have been president--was taking serious advice from this weird, weird chick.
This was a woman who called herself a witch and, in fact, was a witch, even if her magical powers were total BS.
And this near-vice-president wasn't just porking her--he was having sessions with her in which she worked her "magic" by "reading his aura."
This is into serious late-tsarist Russian Rasputin territory here.
This is the kind of people the Democrats are--superstitious perverts who are detached from reality.
