Readers, you probably want to sit down before you read this news.
John Edwards will admit he is the father of his former mistress’s 18-month-old daughter.
You may recall John Edwards insisting that he could not be the father when he admitted the affair last year:
WOODRUFF: I need to ask about probably the most controversial allegation. Which is that a report has been published that the baby of Ms. Hunter is your baby. True?
EDWARDS: Not true. Published in a supermarket tabloid. That is absolutely not true.
WOODRUFF: Have you taken a paternity test?
EDWARDS: I have not, I would welcome participating in a paternity test. Be happy to participate in one. I know that it’s not possible that this child could be mine because of the timing of events, so I know it’s not possible. Happy to take a paternity test, and would love to see it happen.
This is because he is a big fat shameless liar who thinks you’re stupid.
