We watched most of the 20/20 episode last night - the Youngs really are trying to be victims of the "slick politician" Edwards - after he was fired (?) from the campaign, he was "employed" by a private company, with a 30% raise. They lived better during the time this was going on than they ever had. Smart of him to keep voice mail, etc., though - or it very well would be a case of he said/he said now. Apparently, the sex tape is "real"- hence, the restraining order the baby mama filed against Young.
The National Enquirer was on top of this story for a very long time - you know the mainstream media - especially considering the reporters traveling with Edwards during the campaing - had to be aware of it, and they just ignored it, until the NE had photographic evidence. I never saw the paparazzi pics of pregnant Rielle until 20/20.
I remember listening to the press conference where it was announce that Elizabeth's cancer was terminal/non-curable. It's quite disheartening to learn of the behind the scenes shenagins going on during those days!
Yikes... what was Edwards, one of the top 4-6 presidential candidates? Imagine if he had somehow made it? Or been tapped as VP? This would all still be swept under the rug now.
