John Edwards Admits Affair

John Edwards has admitted that he had an affair with Rielle Hunter.  The National Enquirer has been claiming this story for almost a year now, despite the repeated denials from Edwards.  Edwards still claims that he is not the father of Rielle Hunter’s daughter.

What’s really a shame, I think, is that this will distract from the election.  The media loves scandals, so this will probably be the dominant story for the next week or so.  Hopefully they will tire of it by the time the conventions come around so we can get back to the much more important task of choosing our next president.
