Obsessive John Edwards Aide Allegedly Watches His Boss’s Sex Tapes, Steals Baseball Cards
Author: Dylan Ris | Category: Democrats, Election 2008
To hear Elizabeth Edwards tell it, her husband’s former campaign aide, Andrew Young, abetted more bad behavior than anyone this side of Rush Limbaugh’s pharmacist.
Although she opts to not identify Young by name in her bestselling book Reslience, Edwards still considers the ex-staffer guilty of everything from enabling husband John’s affair with a hack filmmaker to stealing her dead son’s baseball card collection.
Further stirring the pot is the fact that Young himself has a book coming out, and in it he claims to have viewed a sex tape made by his former boss and the aforementioned hack Hunter. (Well, we’re just glad she successfully completed at least one film in her directing career.) Comedy Central’s Mary Phillips-Sandy suspects the onscreen pillow-talk contained a lot of sultry references to regional health care markets. But we won’t cite specifics because this is a family website.
What Young doesn’t mention is whether or not he personally was in those sex videos, as he has previously claimed to have knocked up Hunter himself. Perhaps the two of them acted out a stolen baseball card fetish. Or maybe they engaged in auto-erotic asphyxiation with one of those LiveStrong bracelets the campaign seemed to stock by the gross.
Either way, that baby has a lot of awkward family reunions awaiting her.

I think LiveStrong makes neck-width bracelets for this exact fetish.

Sounds like someone needs a restraining order.

Edwards is a liar and a thief!!
Asking Mr Young to pose as the father, Mr Edwards purportedly told him, “You know how much I love you. You know I’d walk off a cliff for you, and I know you’d walk off a cliff for me.” The candidate, who was once the Democratic Party’s golden boy and was John Kerry’s running mate in 2004, went on: “I will never forget this. And I will always be there for you.”
The book will apparently assert that the father of the child is indeed Mr Edwards. The one-time rival of Mr Obama in the 2008 primaries has so far not submitted to a DNA test to determine the truth of this. However, he is still at the heart of a federal investigation into whether campaign money was used in connection with the affair or to help with the efforts to cover it up. Mr Young says that the FBI has already interviewed him in this regard.
The startling new details contained in the proposal – and the prospect of the book coming out – make the chances of a political rehabilitation for Mr Edwards seem more remote than ever. “In a culture in which it is almost impossible to sin yourself into permanent banishment… Edwards may have pulled the feat off,” Jay Bookman, a commentator for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution noted yesterday. “It is impossible to feel sympathy for the man.”
