The John Edwards and Rielle Hunter affair — you know, the one where The Silk Pony cheated on his wife who is struggling with cancer — just got more interesting, as the National Enquirer is now claiming that Edwards has been paying “hush” money to Hunter to the tune of $15K/month.
I’m not sure if that’s so much “hush” money as it is “child support” for their rumored love child, Frances Quinn Hunter.
How much longer can the MSM ignore this story? How all-over-it would the MSM be if it were a prominent Republican (rehtorical question, as we all know the answer is “like flies on a pile of shit”)?

Come on, Robbie, we all know the media is always good about not fanning the flames of scandal. Just look how courteous they were toward Larry Craig.
Oh, wait…
Well, how about Mark Foley?
Eh, never mind…
Fine. Yeah, you’re right. The only two Dems I can remember getting the media treatment usually reserved for Republicans were Hart and Condit. I almost added Clinton, but most of the media was doing its best to shield him from his well-deserved scandal.

The way that CNN has covered this story non-stop?
$15K a month, eh?
That will buy a lot of pampers…and silence.
