Reportedly, John Edwards is being investigated for using campaign money to cover up the Rielle Hunter affair. Rielle Hunter was a videographer who worked for the Edwards campaign. She later had a child that some say belongs to John Edwards. Edwards eventually admitted to the affair, but denies paternity. The Daily News reports:
The feds are investigating whether former Sen. John Edwards broke any laws - besides those of decency - when he cheated on his dying wife with a campaign staffer.
The US attorney apparently wants to know if the 2008 Democratic presidential candidate paid off mistress Rielle Hunter by siphoning cash from his campaign war chest or programs he set up to help the poor.
Hunter gave birth to a daughter in February 2008, just as the affair was hitting the headlines. Her sister claimed the child is Edwards' and that he paid to keep the unemployed videographer away from reporters.

I am surprised he had any money left over after buying hair care products.
All of the Edwards supporters got real quiet after the news of that affair broke. He always seemed more like a used car salesman than a presidential contender to me, but about his hair: "I am surprised he had any money left over after buying hair care products."

ReplyDeleteWell...she was beautiful.
Hah! Well, there is that.
ReplyDeleteWe see from both of these candidates that at some point spending money on your appearance can actually hurt your image.
I don't begrudge them some hair and makeup money, as long as they spend within their means. That was one place where the men certainly upstaged the women in this cycle.
