Least-Shocking John Edwards Story Ever?

The usual grain-of-salt warning: This is from the National Enquirer. Say what you want about them, but they’ve been right about this story so far…

John Edwards has secretly undergone a DNA test – and it proves he’s the father of his mistress’ love child, The ENQUIRER has learned exclusively.

Multiple sources confirm the bombshell development, and reveal lawyers for the disgraced presidential candidate are privately hammering out child support payments with his former lover Rielle Hunter.

Edwards – who hotly denied he was the child’s father when he publicly confessed his affair with Rielle on ABC’s Nightline a year ago – has broken the news to his cancer-stricken wife Elizabeth, sources say.

I don’t want to speak out of turn, but I think maybe Elizabeth suspected something was up.

Recall that previously Edwards said he was eager to do the DNA test, but Rielle refused. Which sure was convenient. That’s the problem with hush money: When the money stops, so does the hushing.

So, we’ve got Elizabeth’s book, Andrew Young writing his own tell-all book, Rielle testifying in front of a federal grand jury last week about the source of the big piles of cash Edwards was throwing at her… How is it this guy doesn’t have a spot in the Obama administration?

(Okay, okay, this is the second-least shocking John Edwards story. #1 is: That’s not his natural color.)

    Judging by the two FBI officers who traveled with the beautiful Rielle to her 9 hour Grand Jury testimony, she is testifying as a “hostile witness” against John Edwards.

    Why bring the baby to court with her? Some might speculate that if Frances Quinn Hunter (“Quinn” means John in ancient Irish-ese) is the Goose that laid the Golden Egg, Ms. Hunter is doing everything she can to protect the Goose (Don’t forget John Edwards is a desperate man to whom money is no object).

    I certainly hope the beautiful Rielle did not and will not sign any paperwork agreeing to keep the baby’s parental heritage confidential…afterall, Frances Quinn’s story alone should be worth a $3.5M advance.

    You know, I just noticed how much JE looks like a grinning possum.

    He had to want that nookie very, very badly. And so did she. Because either of them alone gives me the wig, but the thought of them together…

    Urp. BRB.

    You know, I just noticed how much JE looks like a grinning possum.

    Really? I see Bugs Bunny every time Deceiver uses that shot.

    But not the real Bugs Bunny, more like the dark haired version of Bugs. You know, like how Samantha on Bewitched had the brunette cousin Serena and Jeannie (I Dream Of…) had that mean sister who always wore blue?

    Why is it that evil doppelgangers always have dark hair?

    Which makes me wonder if there’s a blond John Edwards wearing clerical vestments over in that Other America he’s always yappin about.

    Think we can get the Others to swap?

    Fortunate son is wrong on all accounts. Rielle Huntress is far from beautiful by anyone’s standards. Quinn is not ancient Irish for “John”. The baby’s “story”, such as it is, is worth nothing. John Edwards has not admitted paternity.

    And in other news, contrary to previous reports, the earth is in fact flat.
