If this story turns out to be true, you can cross John Edwards off Barack Obama’s Vice President short list. The National Enquirer claims they have a reputable source that claims Sen. John Edwards was caught visiting his mistress and secret child around 3:00am Tuesday morning.  It’s been alleged that Sen. Edwards was carrying on with Rielle Hunter before, but could never be proven. As Sen. Edwards wife continues to battle cancer, he continues to have a relationship with the blonde divorcee and the child he fathered with her.

The married ex-Senator from North Carolina met with his mistress, blonde divorcée Rielle Hunter, at the Beverly Hilton on Monday night, July 21 – and the NATIONAL ENQUIRER was there! He didn’t leave until early the next morning.

A months-long NATIONAL ENQUIRER investigation had yielded information that Rielle and Edwards, 54, had arranged to secretly meet and for the ex-senator to spend some time with both his mistress and the love child who he refuses to publicly acknowledge as his own.

This just proves my point that although it’s our civic duty to vote, we are really only ever choosing the lesser of two evil men. Or a Hilary Clinton.
