Subject: John Edwards Sex Tape Court Injunction
Written By: LyricBoy on 01/29/10 at 1:17 pm
You know, the other day when I started hearing about an alleged sex tape that depicted former Senator John Edwards with his mistress, Rielle Hunter (who in a twist of fate was also his campaign videographer), I thought it was just trash talk by his former aide, a Mr. Young, who has written a "tell all" book.
However, Rielle Hunter has obtained a court injunction which "speaks to video recordings and photographs that depict matters of a private and personal nature.". Apparently the order prohibits Young from disseminating the tape until a more complete hearing may be conducted.

My thought... if there really was no sex tape then she would not need an injunction.
When I read her legal filing, it sounds eerily familiar to Monocle Lewinsky and the stained dress that was stored in a safe deposit box. If Ms. Hunter were REALLY worried about the tape getting into the wrong hands, she simply coulda burned it. I think she kept it for future leverage.
I wonder if maybe she and Mr. Young are really running a scam here? They've done it (scam-run) before... ???

Amongst others, TMZ, The Smoking Gun, The Insider, Entertainment Tonight, 20/20, CBS News, MFNBC, ABC News, and a raft of tabloids. (Oh wait that was redundant)
Last night, Niecy Nash (panelist on The Insider) named Mr. Edwards the "Worst Celebrity of the Day". ???
I expect tonight that Lara Spencer :-* will moderate yet another vigorous panel discussion about the Edwards sex tapes on The Insider. :P

I've believed in Rule 34 since I heard about dragons having sex with cars, but I never thought I'd see it tested in a court of law.

The funny thing is, Newt Gingrich did the same thing and he's a right-wing media commentator with a bunch of best sellers under his belt (among other thing). If MSNBC offered Edwards the kind of accommodations FOX gives Newt, the right-wingers would be all over them like ugly on an ape.
The main difference is there are no tapes of Newt's extramaritals and if Newt had any offspring, they're living in some basement prison like that Austrian family!

Once again, we see the basic principle that "the coverup is always worse than the crime".
If Edwards had manned up back when this whole thing started, and simply said "Oh, Rielle Hunter? Yeah, I hit it. She's a havin' my babay", the public ultimately would have not condemned him forever. Sure, his presidential hopes woulda been toast, but after some cooling-off period, he coulda been considered for maybe a cabinet post or something.
But given his continual, incremental, lying on this subject, he has zero credibility and is considered to be toxic waste in the political world.
If you think about it, his coverup and prevarications on this incident rival the coverup done for Watergate, although obviously his coverup is infinitely less consequential.
Hosed around with a campaign worker...
While his politically popular wife had cancer...
Paid his trusty political flunky to claim paternity...
Secured $1MM+ in coverup money from rich donors, including a 99-year-old widow...
Spirited his jumpoff, the flunky, and the flunky's wife to various luxury hideouts...
Went on national TV and denied the affair...
Made a sex tape with the jumpoff...
Went on national TV and admitted the affair but denied the paternity...
Suggested to his trusted flunky to fake a DNA test...
Left an innocent infant girl "fatherless" for two years...
The jumpoff so much as admits that the sex tape exists, in a legal filing no less...
After last night's 20/20 interview with Andrew Young, it appears that Edwards' BIGGEST F-up was that at some point he cut Young loose and left him hanging. Big fail there. http://www.inthe00s.com/smile/07/nono.gif Young is now extracting his revenge/payback. http://www.inthe00s.com/smile/05/flipa.gif
The Feds are now all over Edwards, looking to see if any campaign money made its way to the coverup. And given how toxic Edwards is now, NOBODY is gonna stand up in his defense except for anybody who might be accused of being part of the coverup.
Edwards managed this crisis with all the finesse of a monkey making love to a football.

Sad to say, I think that Lara has lost her way. And I say that being a fellow Penn State grad. I am not sure that she will ever be able to reclaim the credibility that she once had.
She's now at the helm of that 100% trash gossip show. The last straw for me was the cartoonish boob job that she got, which I think was actually an "upgrade" of a prior boob job. She now looks completely out of proportion. Why she did it I'll never know, as she looked hot without those falsies... :-\\
--------------
Note: My comments regarding a "boob job(s)" are my speculation. However look at her these days and it is hard to believe that she did NOT pay a visit or two to Dr. 90210. Sad. :\'(

Oh, Mister Mojo, you can have this pile of money if you do a guest spot on MTV, what say?
Okay, let's go! Now I can afford to get the 'vette fixed!

I dunno about that, all I know is I wanted to stuff Martha's muffin when I was 15. I'm not 15 anymore. Mojo still is.
If the best thing a corporation like Viacom can do to an anti-corporate artist is co-opt him. Jello Biafra gets that. Negativland gets that. Mojo did not.
Don't get me wrong, Mojo is a funny guy, but he was the worst kind of naivete -- the naivete that confuses scorn with sophistication.
