John and Elizabeth Edwards have separated, a source tells the New York Post. The report comes after Elizabeth began appearing in public without her wedding ring. Elizabeth Edwards recently began making speeches for the first time since her husband admitted an affair with Rielle Hunter, who shot videos for his presidential campaign. Edwards has denied that he is the father of Hunter’s baby, though The National Enquirer has reported that Hunter says the child is his.

Speaks at Indiana University

John Edwards returns to public stage in Indiana

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards is returning to the public stage for a speech at Indiana University, three months after he acknowledged an affair with a woman hired to produce videos of him in 2006.

Edwards is scheduled speak Tuesday night at the IU Auditorium about last week’s election results. The school said the public lecture will include a question-and-answer session.

The former North Carolina senator and 2004 Democratic vice presidential nominee has largely stayed in exile since admitting in August that he had an affair two years ago. He canceled a series of events before the election, saying he didn’t want to be a distraction to Barack Obama’s campaign.

Edwards’ wife, Elizabeth, has held several events in the past two months advocating for health care reform.

Anyone who’s ever gotten a personal letter for JE might work too, as the old lick’em style of stamps typically have enough saliva residue to be typed.

Bring it on monkey style, enquirer!

You need a hair pulled out from the scalp. That way you get the root along with a skin tag from around the follicle, both of which may contain a complete DNA sequence.

Having said that, I say we leave the DNA collection up to Rielle. She looks like a cat fighter. Wait until the hush money stops and she’ll rip a few handfuls outta Edward’s rug in retribution.

Providing that she doesn’t already have a few blue dresses in storage.

With the John Edwards “Breck Girl” video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AE847UXu3Q) getting 70 million hits on its various forms on YouTube, somebody somewhere probably took a clipping of Johnnyboy’s (his nickname prior to the age of 23) hair.

If they can’t, they’ll take his kid’s or parent’s hair, saliva, etc

Even buried cadavers from the Edwards family could theoretically provide a DNA sample.

I showed ten pictures of a Edwards child and Edwards to a forensic archaeologist and asked said person whether Frances Quinn (named after superlawyer John Quinn), was Edwards kid.

“Inconclusive”, said my expert, until we can see the ears.

Strange how every single picture of Frances Quinn I could find had her ears covered.

Edwards might be smarter than I thought… but he’s also probably a bigger horndog than I thought also.
