Andrew Young’s Mother Knows Best

Filed under: Politics — DRJ @ 2:29 pm

[Guest post by DRJ]

It looks like the host and guest-hosts abandoned ship this morning, so let’s get things started with a brief tour of the John Edwards-Rielle Hunter-Andrew Young story.

Young is the reported father of Rielle’s daughter but not everyone believes it – including Young’s mother:

“Jacquelyn Aldridge made clear she deeply doubts her married son – Edwards campaign official Andrew Young – cheated on his beautiful wife and impregnated Edwards’ paramour, Rielle Hunter, last year.

“I wish, very deeply, that both of them – John Edwards and Rielle Hunter – would have the DNA test,” Aldridge, 73, told The Post.”

  1. I’m beginning to think Mickey is the father of Rielle’s baby. Fess up, Mickey — you’re the Babydaddy!

  4. I highly recommend that readers follow Dana R Pico’s link and read the dueling limericks in his comment section.

  6. John Edwards is a jerk! Not because of his infidelity but because of having the stupidity and arrogance of thinking he can fool all the people all the time. Makes me sick.

    I’m going to try to brush up before visitng your site …

    There once was a pol named John
    who left the hotel light ON

    Both camera and girl
    Got a pretty good twirl

    And poor John found his career was all gone.

  8. VN: Not bad. My personal favorite at the moment is:

    She said, “John a problem has cropped up;
    I’m afraid that I’ve gotten knocked up.”
    “Oh, Hell, this is bad,
    And now I’m a dad,
    Should have had my vas deferens blocked up!

  9. Do most of them go something like this?

    The Senator from North Carolina,
    Put his wiener in Rielle’s … [well, you see where that's going]
    Whilst Elizabeth stayed sick,
    The prick dipped his wick;
    Now his bastard son’s here to remind her.

  10. Whoops! Meant to write “child’s”, not “son’s”. I know that the child is a girl. Damn low-grade crack!

  11. Oh, we have some winners! Feel free to add more!

  12. Dana, very nice touch to an already-crazy story!

    Icy, you can take North Carolina and do something that brilliant?? Best laugh of the morning. Fantastic.

    Hard to top that one.

  13. Followup to #6…
    JE is a:
    Liberal;
    Ambulance-chasing shyster;
    Dem pol;
    Philanderer;

    Isn’t being “a jerk” a given?

  14. I firmly deny that I am the father of Hunter’s child. She needs a dna test to resolve any doubts.
