Rielle Baby Daddy : Edwards' Little Girl Frances

(photo source: my.gritto.com)

You've got to hand it to Billy Clinton -- he somehow managed to avoid impregnating someone (at least as far as we know).

John Edwards, on the other hand, has obviously impregnated Rielle Hunter (aka Lisa Druck, aka Alison Poole).

This week, he claimed that his affair with Miss Hunter/Druck/Poole ended in 2006. But photographic evidence makes it plain that he is still very much in touch with his lover.

Further, he has claimed that according to the "timing" of the birth, there's no way he is the baby daddy -- since, as he claims, his affair with said woman ended in 2006. But we here at the Saccharinist cannot think of any reasonable situation where a married man of his political stature would be cuddling his ex-lover's newborn baby -- UNLESS the little newborn's got some Edwards blood in her.

So, let the record show that Miss Hunter/Druck/Poole is refusing a paternity test and Mr Edwards/Beauty Queen has shown a clear interest in late night trysts to visit this baby from a woman who he says he "did not love".

Translation:

John Edwards is the father of Frances Quinn Hunter.

Perhaps someday he'll take it upon himself to admit that, too. In the meantime, let us all step back and watch him rebuild a political career as a moral, decent and honest leader. It's not like it would be the first time a politician did that...
