John and Elizabeth Edwards Legally Separated

Former aide Andrew Young initially claimed that he fathered the child with John Edwards' mistress in the weeks leading up to the crucial presidential primaries. John Edwards publicly declared last week that he was the father of the child with Rielle Hunter, who worked as a videographer before his second presidential campaign in 2008.

Young's upcoming book details how Edwards went to great lengths to hide the affair. In excerpts from an ABC News interview, Young said that Edwards asked him to find a doctor who might fake a paternity test and asked him to steal a diaper from the baby, now almost 2, to determine whether it was really his. He also claims that the married couple sought to politicize her cancer diagnosis.

Both John & Young are scumbags. If using her illness to promote health care reform & spotlighting women's health issues was politicizing it, yeah, she politicized it. But him, I should've guessed about him. The haircut, the fact I'd have hired him in a minute for a medical malpractice suit because I'd want a lawyer who could be scumbag if necessary.
