Your spring water is for you and you only,
not to be passed around among strangers.
Bless your fresh-flowing fountain!
Enjoy the wife you married as a young man.
Lovely as an angel, beautiful as a rose--
don't ever quit taking delight in her body.
Never take her love for granted.
Why would you trade enduring intimacies for
cheap thrills with a whore? for dalliance
with a promiscuous stranger?
Proverbs 5:17-20
John Edwards should be breathing a sigh of relief and basking in the comfort of having dodged yet another bullet. The Feds have dropped all charges against him for campaign finance fraud ($1million of campaign contributions used to hide his mistress and love child), his six-week trial on those allegations is over and finished, and the future is bright with promise if he can just rehabilitate his image of a pretty boy scumbag husband who cheated on his dying wife and fathered a kid in the process.
Mr. Edwards, however, will not get the luxury of that peaceful rehabilitation, thanks to his mistress, Reille Hunter, who is publishing a tell-all memoir about their affair - due out from the publishers next week. In the book, Hunter has allegedly told all regarding the affair that started when she became a videographer on his presidential campaign [which coincided with the time his wife, Elizabeth, was fighting her final bout with cancer.] In the book, Ms. Hunter reveals, among other things, that she might be Edwards' last mistress, but she certainly wasn't his first, and that cheating on his wife was well established for Mr. Edwards prior to making her acquaintance. She reveals intimate details of hotel escapades, avoiding the ever-present paparazzi, and rendevoux wherever and whenever she could get them.
Ms. Hunter claims that she wrote the book for the couple's four-year-old daughter, so that the little girl (hopefully when she is older!!) would "understand" her father and mother's relationship. Obviously, Ms. Hunter and I have a completely different view of what information is appropriate to share with your children regarding their parents. I can't even imagine how her mind could sanction such a project - other than $$$. And Mr. Edwards? Well, as my dad would say, "With friends like that, who needs enemies?"
