John Edwards We Hardly Knew You

Well, well, ABC News says that John Edwards did, in fact, admit to an extramarital affair (update: He continues to deny the baby's paternity) This story has been kicking around for quite a while. I posted here that this was percolating again.

There are more questions than answers: The timing? Who is Reille Hunter (aka Lisa Druck)? How did a son of a mill worker from a small town in North Carolina hook up with a big-time party-girl-gone-wild? What does Elizabeth say? We'll see how this develops.

In the meantime, learn some fun extra credit scandal factoids here:

From FishbowlLA: Edwards' Videographer Reille Hunter, aka Lisa Druck, Dated Jay McInerney
Some of the about posts are not new, but I'll bet the teevee still won't mention them.

UPDATE: Why admit the affair, but deny the paternity of the baby? Check out Andrew Sullivan's theory.
