    I don't know...Fox News did independantly confirm that reports and Edwards had a confrontation and now the two NE reporters have filed a criminal complaint against the hotel security guards for their actions on that night.

     

    Stretches my credulity close to the snapping point.

    The guard said he escorted Edwards, who was not a registered guest at the hotel, out of the building after 2 a.m. Edwards did not say anything while he was escorted out, said the guard, adding that at times the reporters on the scene were "rough on him," sticking a camera in his face and shouting questions.

    OK, so if the "reporters" had a camera, where are the pictures?

    The fish-o-meter is running VERY high on this one.

    I see you choose to believe one side of the story and base your fish-o-meter on that.  Isn't it equally possible that Edwards stretched the truth a little (or a lot) when he realized he was caught with another woman while his wife is fighting cancer?

    If you are waiting for ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN or MSN to report it before you even consider believing it you are in for a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooong wait.

    I also have a hard time believing that the National Enquirer wouldn't have someone with a camera, or at least a camera of some kind that works. If the have the photos, where are they? I am equally (actually, more) incredulous that they wouldn't publish the pictures if they had them.

    I see you're jumping to conclusions about what believe.

    Let me know when there's something credible to believe that the story is true. Until then, I remain skeptical

    If it is true, then my opinion would be the same of any man who cheats on his wife no matter what her health.

    If it's not true, then my opinion Edwards remains unchanged... I would not have vote for him because I don't like his policies. As a person, I don't know anymore about him than anybody else and cannot formulate an opinion as to his likability.

    Apparently the LA Times thinks if they ignore it the whole thing will go away;

    http://www.slate.com/id/2195914/#latedict

    This from FOXNews...

    A Beverly Hills hotel security guard told FOXNews.com he intervened this week between a man he identified as former Sen. John Edwards and tabloid reporters who chased down the former presidential hopeful after what they're calling a rendezvous with his mistress and love child.

    The Beverly Hilton Hotel guard said he encountered a shaken and ashen-faced Edwards — whom he did not immediately recognize — in a hotel men's room early Tuesday morning in a literal tug-of-war with reporters on the other side of the door.

    "What are they saying about me?" the guard said Edwards asked.

    "His face just went totally white," the guard said, when Edwards was told the reporters were shouting out questions about Edwards and Rielle Hunter, a woman the National Enquirer says is the mother of his child.

    ---From later in the article---

    A former campaign staffer, speaking on condition of anonymity, told FOXNews.com he wishes he were "more surprised" to hear reports Edwards was visiting Hunter. "I'm definitely upset by it. I wish I was more surprised, though."

    ---link to complete article---

    FWIW, I have no trouble believing that someone who is so in love with his hair that he pays someone $400 to cut it (while children are starving in blah-blah-blah) would do something like this. Just show me a little more proof.

     

    If it were Clinton, I would believe it. It might not be true, but it would at least start to even out all the times he didn't get caught.

    UPDATE: John Edwards' secret meeting with his mistress at the Beverly Hilton hotel has now become part of a criminal complaint.

        NATIONAL ENQUIRER reporters Alan Butterfield and Alexander Hitchen filed a criminal complaint with the Beverly Hills Police Department on Thursday, July 24, charging that hotel security acted unlawfully while the reporters were trying to question the former senator.

    Edwards now could be contacted by police to give an eyewitness account of what occurred.

    Hotel security tried to stop the reporters from questioning Edwards in the basement of the hotel at approximately 2:40 a.m. Tuesday, July 22 after Edwards came off an elevator and appeared to be attempting to leave the hotel unseen.

    His secret mistress Rielle Hunter and her baby were upstairs, and Edwards had just spent hours with them in a secret rendezvous.

    As Butterfield and Hitchen tried to question Edwards, he ran down a hallway and ducked into a men's public bathroom. The reporters attempted to follow him in and Edwards pushed the door shut from inside.

    Hotel security showed up and intervened. The reporters charge that not only did one security guard threaten to break their camera but that security also violated several statutes of the California Penal Code, including false imprisonment and preventing a guest from entering land.

    The ENQUIRER reporters were registered guests at the hotel, while Edwards was not.

    Police recorded the criminal complaint and will turn it over to detectives.

    It's real. The Enquirer has been tailing him for months about this..just waiting for him to slip up with his meetings with her.

    The loser hid out in the bathroom while they yelled questions at him..and he called security to have the reporters removed.

    The reporters aren't very sharp, then. I would have said, "We're guests here, and we want to use the restroom; he isn't, and he's keeping us from using the facilities."

    I remember when the National Enquirer broke the story of Frank Gifford having

    an affair.  All the news media picked up on that right away because his wife

    Kathy was an outspoken Conservative Christian.  Frank did  do a press conference admitting to his "mistake" . But, the press was relentless with him and his wife.

    Won't be the same with Edwards . These rumors have been floating around his

    so called hometown of Chapel Hill for a year.  They are probably very true.
