The baddy bloggers are saying you might have had an affair with John Edwards, and we want you to clear that up for us. So far we know this about you:
The way I remember it, I first met Rielle Hunter in a nightclub called Nells in early 1987, although the circumstances of our first meeting seem to be in dispute. In my defense I can only say that events of that decade are not always as clearly etched in memory as we might wish, and neither of us was living a very sober or reflective life back then. At that time Rielle’s name was Lisa Druck, and when she wasn’t out at nightclubs she was taking acting classes. We dated for only a few months, but in that period I spent a lot of time with Lisa and her friends, whose behavior intrigued and appalled me to such an extent that I ended up basing a novel on the experience. The novel was called Story of My Life, and it was narrated in the first person from the point of view of an ostensibly jaded, cocaine- addled, sexually voracious 20-year-old who was, shall we say, inspired by Lisa. I certainly thought of Alison Poole as a sympathetic and ultimately endearing character. One of her most striking traits was her obsession with truth-telling and her horror of being lied to, something that I certainly took directly from Lisa. When Lisa moved to Calfornia and got married I lost track of her, though I was reminded of her whenever someone would ask me, at book signings and lectures, what I imagined happened to Alison Poole after the book ended — whether I saw her as turning her life around or not. Through the grapevine I picked up occasional reports from the West Coast. I heard that Lisa had changed her name to Rielle, that she’d gotten divorced, and that she was increasingly engaged in various spiritual quests which she attempted to explain to me when I finally ran into her; all I could tell for certain was that she was a far happier person than I remembered. Recently she returned to Manhattan and one sunny afternoon in Washington Square Park, attempted to enlighten me on the subject of her own enlightenment.

I have to say this. I am not a sock puppet of Rob’s, nor am I a huge supporter of his. I have in fact been critical of some of his work in the past. That being said, I opened my copy of the Washington Post yesterday and saw a reliable source item concerning Harold Ford’s engagement to Emily Threlkeld. This was at least one full day after Big Head DC reported it, possibly two. I may not agree with everything Rob does or writes, but I can’t deny that he’s on point and routinely scoops everyone on these stories. Well done sir, and might I add that Ms. Threlkeld is easy on the eyes.
Big Head DC first reported the Threlkeld story in June, almost four months before the Reliable Source:

Well looks like the daggers from Shrillary’s arsenal (her pals run the Enquirer) have in timely fashion lit the proverbial fire under this story just as Edwards is polled to be in first place in the Iowa caucus.
Girlfriend apparently has relocated from NYC to North Carolina under the tutelage of Andrew Young who is rumored to be already claiming said baby as his. And meanwhile Lisa, Lisa keeps mum and in hiding.
Too late. One hair from that kid will be tied to John Edwards in a flash. DNA technology is now just too easily available for the lie to continue too long.
You have to hand it to Hillary and her secret police. They are on their game.
wow. you make obtaining DNA so easy.
Please remove this story. I was hired by the Edward’s campaign to assist in cleansing the internet of Negative John Edwards stories. DO NOT PUT IN COMMENTS SECTION. Thank you for your kind assistance.

I am offended by the rumor of John, I know him personally as a friend, and he serves on my Advisory board. I don’t think for one minute he would such a thing, as down and low admiring as this.
Wow, turns out your right!!! Otherwise, why would Mr. Edwards be running from reporters after midnight down side stairwells?
What’s worse? Cheating on your cancer ridden wife or forcing a married father of 3 to take the public blame for your love child?
[…] Seems like the upstanding holier-than-thou Senator from North Carolina picked a real LucyGoosey to play hide the salami with…..Lisa Druck. […]
I don’t know why men who have such beautiful and brilliant wives like Elizabeth Edwards would cheat and risk everything for some ugly horse-faced SKAG…If he wanted to cheat , couldn’t he at LEAST do it with someone that was attractive ?
:Hopefully he has been to his doctor to be tested for all possible sexually transmitted diseases.
Betsey, only ugly desperate skag faced women would act such a way.
Betsy, could you be a little more shallow?
It isn’t a matter of shallowness … My God ,if a man is going to cheat on his wife and throw his life away in the process, he should at least cheat with a woman that doesn’t require a bag over her head ….
My donations to the Edward’s campaign went to an ugly horse-faced whore … That’s just GREAT !!!
i worked for the druck family at their horse farm just before the poop hit the fan with mr. druck in the kiling horses for hire scandal. there is an article in the sports illstrated issue nov 16, 1992 detailing how mr druck taught tommy burns to electrocute horses and leave o trace of foul play. lisa and her older sister roxanne were both hard drugging, over sexed young ladies.
as to lisa’s appearance, she is actually a very attractive woman. the photo the media is using is just awful. watch the video of the interviews she gave, the one where she has on a little leopard headband? . that is a real image of her. she could charm or rip the pants of any guy she wanted to when i knew her………
The headband video doesn’t help her at all…She still has the face of a horse with Jay Leno’s chin and a mouthful of buckteeth… Yeah…Rip a man’s pants off with those TEETH !…Maybe some of our campaign contributions should have gone to buy her some braces instead of million dollar homes …
Her last name is very telling… HUNTER…Ugly predatory SKANK…!
Edwards has one ugly ho to deal with. No doubt, a pro with a face longer than a horse. This skank has been roving for a big score for a long time. Too bad the dumb fucker edwards had a case of blue balls and lost it. Should have turned the lights on. Phony bastard.
Lightbulb got it right.. this horsey girl HAS been looking for a big score for a long time. What a disgrace this whole thing is…poor poor poor Elizabeth and family. This Druck woman is a narcissist herself….actress, screenwriter, filmographer, spiritual adviser…yeah, right. Sounds more like a self-indulgent overgrown rich brat from a dysfunctional horse-killing family who needed a sugar **daddy***, quick, before the eggs expired. I cannot believe this woman was so deluded to think that she was going to help Edwards become the next Ghandi….and he was dumb enough to fall for it. Yeah, excuse me, Mrs. Dying-of-Cancer-Wife- and-Mother- of- John- Edward’s-Three- Children, you don’t mind if I fuck your husband in between our Eckhardt Tolle readings and chakra clearing sessions do you? I mean this will really help him when you’re dead, we’re married, and he leads the world into the Aquarian Age, like, yeah!
Lisa Druck ? Ugly Duck.
This chic is homely looking.
Rielle is holding all the cards. It’s worth it to Edwards to pay her forever NOT to have a paternity test. So long as parentage is not confirmed, he can continue to deny and pay through the nose. If they do the paternity test and the kid IS his, the truth will be out, he will be exposed for lying–AGAIN–AND baby stands to inherit whatever his other children do. Or, if paternity test proves that Edwards is NOT the father, there goes Rielle’s meal ticket. And I have a hunch that SHE doesn’t even know who pop is. What if it turns out that Young’s not the father?!? Might have to line up the entire campaign staff for paternity testing.
[…] Update: After writing the above I came across a curious instance of what seems to have been an attempt to censor discussion of the Edwards/Hunter relationship early this year. In the last months of 2007, three separate bloggers posted regarding the initial Enquirer report (and Sam Stein’s related articles in The Huffington Post at the time). […]
Cum Dumpster
There are countless other suckers involved here including myself.I was supporting the Edwards campaign while he was using MY MONEY AND THAT OF MANY OTHERS TO MAKE SURE HE GOT THIS MIDDLE AGED SLUT, LISA DRUCK PREGNANT! I have stopped paying but John Edwards will NEVER STOP PAYING.(har-de-har-har.) This voraciously sexual, drug taking, credit card abusing SLUT NOW HAS A $3,000,000 HOME IN A CALIFORNIA GATED COMMUNITY, A BRAND NEW VEHICLE AND $15000 A MONTH SPENDING MONEY THAT SHE MILKS FROM THE “GENIOUS LAWYER” AND HE WILL PAY AND PAY AND PAY!
You know … She can’t be that spiritual because she’s not thinking about her ” karma ” catching up with her…
