Last night the floppy-haired philanderer made his first public appearance since being driven underground by that unfortunate business with the illegitimate child and the shadowy coverup and whatnot. He was at Indiana University, picking up sorority chicks giving a speech that…
…covered politics, poverty and his hopes for America and the world and he later discussed President-elect Obama and other topics from the audience.
But the half-hour question-and-answer period featured only written queries that had been submitted before his speech — and the affair he has acknowledged with filmmaker Rielle Hunter didn’t surface.
After his public statements in August, Edwards said he did not plan to speak about the affair again.
Sophomore Mariela Colindres told the Indiana Daily Student she thought Edwards was right not to address the affair during the speech.
“Nothing he could have said to make it better, plus it’s a personal issue,” she said.
Graduate student Kortnee Warner agreed.
“I heard about some of those issues,” Warner told the student newspaper. “It happens more than you realize it. I didn’t make any character judgments.”
Did you get that, John? Somebody named Kortnee was all like, “Adultery? Whatever.” No word yet from other luminaries like Cynndee, Stayceee, and AshleeEee.
But here’s the capper:
In response to questions from the audience, Edwards praised Hillary Rodham Clinton’s leadership and said his favorite superhero is Superman.
Well, the “justice and the American way” part, maybe. Hold the “truth.”
I’ve kind of lost track of Rielle these days. She’s still got her meal ticket, presumably, or we would have heard from her by now.

Can’t wait for an entire auditorium of college kids to start chanting “Claim your baby! Claim your baby!”. Because it’s going to happen very soon. Bring your video camera.
I’m guessing Edwards has ponied up the “hush money” as he’s going to have to keep her happy until they can be together.
Too bad for Elizabeth and her children. I don’t see the truth ever coming to the light of day – probably just hurt the Edwards children more if it does – being a mother I would want to protect my kids too.
It makes me happy to know that when brilliant graduate students like Kortnee get the chance, their hard hitting questions are all about which super hero someone wants to be. I wonder if Kortnee’s mom, and dad know what their 30 g’s a year are paying for. I hope she graduates and becomes my brain surgeon.
He must of gone there trolling for his next baby mama.
Hey there, Judgey Judgerson! She can’t help what her parents named her. I mean, that’s kind of a jerk move to assume someone is not intelligent simply because their name contains two e’s, don’t you think?
Single parent families are a leading source of poverty in America. Who better to speak on it than a “babydaddy?”
Can you imagine how f’ed up this baby girl is going to be? Hush money can’t substitute for your daddy’s love.
She’s not intelligent because she “didn’t make any character judgments” about a guy who cheated on his cancer-stricken wife while endangering the Democratic nomination with a yoga-loving cocaine addict.
In return, I will not make any charactre judgements on her, but others may feel free to.

I assume she’s not intelligent because of what she said. The dopey spelling is just a bonus.
“She’s still got her meal ticket….or we would have heard from her by now.”
She’s busy dictating her rediculous life story to some out-of-work, made-4-tv screenwriter.
We’ll hear from her soon enough.
Snoop-Diggity-Dang-Dawg – Isn’t Edwards paying visits to Rielle and child? Is he separated from Elizabeth, meaning more than just not living in the house with them in Chapel Hill? You always seem to know the juicy gossip.
What the student paper didn’t publish was Kortnee’s closing sentence: “I didn’t make any character judgments. And besides, he’s just so *dreamee*.”
