John Edwards caught hiding the Gherkin!!!


Senator $400 dollar haircut from Mt. Olive NC (home of Mt. Olive Pickles) has been


caught hiding the gherkin.


Apparently he as a little love pickle with the lady pictured at his right.


She apparently prefers dill pickles.


On a totally unrelated topic.


I always thought if I was going to take a chance at serving time for armed robbery, I would rob something where there was an awful lot of money.



Here is the National Enquirer story.


Vice Presidential candidate Sen. John Edwards was caught visiting his mistress and secret love child at 2:40 this morning in a Los Angeles hotel by the NATIONAL ENQUIRER.


The married ex-senator from North Carolina - whose wife Elizabeth continues to battle cancer -- met with his mistress, blond divorcee Rielle Hunter, at the Beverly Hilton on Monday night, July 21 - and the NATIONAL ENQUIRER was there!


He didn't leave until early the next morning. Rielle had driven to Los Angeles from Santa Barbara with a male friend for the rendezvous with Edwards.


The former senator attended a press event Monday afternoon with L.A. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa on the topic of how to combat homelessness. But a months-long NATIONAL ENQUIRER investigation had yielded information that Rielle and Edwards, 54, had arranged to secretly meet afterward and for the ex-senator to spend some time with both his mistress and the love child who he refuses to publicly acknowledge as his own.


The NATIONAL ENQUIRER broke the story of Edwards' love child scandal last year, when Rielle was still pregnant and Edwards was still considered a strong candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination.


Both parties denied the NATIONAL ENQUIRER report and a close friend of Edwards' came forward and said he was the father of Rielle's baby.


But sources told the NATIONAL ENQUIRER a far different story - they revealed that Edwards was engineering a massive cover up of his shocking infidelity.


Sources came forward after that story appeared and told The NATIONAL ENQUIRER that Edwards and Rielle had met secretly several times, so that he could see his baby and continue his relationship with Rielle.


The NATIONAL ENQUIRER learned ahead of time that one such meeting was set for yesterday.At 9:45 p.m. (PST) Monday, Edwards appeared at the hotel, and was dropped off at a side entrance.


NATIONAL ENQUIRER reporter Alan Butterfield witnessed the ex-senator get out of a BMW driven by a male companion and stroll into the hotel.


Said Butterfield: "Edwards was not carrying anything. He walked in alone. He was wearing a blue dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up.


He was looking around nervously before he entered the hotel."Once inside, he interestingly bypassed the lobby and ducked down a side stairs to go to the bottom floor to catch the elevator up - rather than taking the elevator in the main lobby.


He went out of his way not to be seen."


Meanwhile, Rielle had reserved rooms 246 and 252 under the name of the friend who had accompanied her from Santa Barbara, Bob McGovern.


Rielle was in one room and McGovern was in another with her baby.


This allowed her and Edwards to spend time alone, a source revealed.


Edwards went out of the hotel briefly with Rielle, they were observed by the NATIONAL ENQUIRER and then went back to her room, where he stayed until attempting to sneak out of the hotel unseen at 2:40 a.m. (PST).


But when he emerged alone from an elevator into the hotel basement he was greeted by several reporters from the NATIONAL ENQUIRER.


Senior NATIONAL ENQUIRER Reporter Alexander Hitchen asked Edwards why he was visiting Rielle and whether he was ready to confirm that he was the father of her baby.


Shocked to see a reporter, and without saying anything, Edwards ran up the stairs leading from the hotel basement to the lobby.


But, spotting a photographer, he doubled back into the basement. As he emerged from the stairwell, reporter Butterfield questioned him about his hookup with Rielle.


Edwards did not answer and then ran into a nearby restroom. He stayed inside for about 15 minutes, refusing to answer questions from the NATIONAL ENQUIRER about what he was doing in the hotel.


A group of hotel security men eventually escorted him from the men's room, while preventing the NATIONAL ENQUIRER reporters from following him out of the hotel.


Said reporter Hitchen: "After we confronted him about seeing Rielle, Edwards looked like a deer caught in headlights!


"He was clearly surprised that we had caught him at this very late hour inside the hotel.


"Some guests up at this late hour watched the spectacle in amusement from a staircase nearby.


"Meanwhile, Rielle's friend McGovern also refused to answer any questions from the NATIONAL ENQUIRER or offer any explanation for her meeting with Edwards.


The Edwards "love child" scandal drew international press attention after the NATIONAL ENQUIRER published a blockbuster investigation about the politician in our Dec. 31, 2007 print edition.


We reported that Rielle, a woman linked to Edwards in a cheating scandal earlier last year, was more than six months pregnant - and we reported that she told a close confidante that Edwards was the father of her baby!


Edwards denied the affair and that he was the father, and in a bizarre twist, a close friend of his, Andrew Young, said he was the father.


Young, 41, was married at the time with three children.


The NATIONAL ENQUIRER has learned he still is married.


Sources told the NATIONAL ENQUIRER exclusively that Edwards had engineered a massive cover up of the affair and love child scandal and that Young was taking the blame for his good friend.


At the time Rielle had been relocated from the New York area to Chapel Hill in Edwards' home state of North Carolina, where she was living in an upscale gated community down the street from Young.


Strangely, Young even had Rielle to his house for dinner with his wife and kids, the NATIONAL ENQUIRER has learned.


Young has been extremely close to Edwards for years and was a key official in his presidential campaign.


Rielle is a self-described filmmaker whose company was hired by a pro-Edwards group called One America Committee.


She was paid $114,000 to produce videos for Edwards' campaign and worked with him on those videos.


After our story last December, reporters from other media outlets asked Edwards about the report during a campaign stop in Columbia, S.C.


Edwards responded: "The story is false. It's completely untrue, ridiculous," adding: "Anyone who knows me knows that I have been in love with the same woman for 30-plus years."


Rielle issued her own statement, saying in part: "The innuendos and lies that have appeared on the Internet and in the NATIONAL ENQUIRER concerning John Edwards are not true, completely unfounded and ridiculous."


But a source told the NATIONAL ENQUIRER: "Now that it seems to have blown wide open, Rielle may get her wish - all she wants is for John to marry her and for them to live happily ever after with their baby.


She's tired of running and living a lie."A representative for Rielle had no comment on last night's meeting with Edwards.

We've known all along that something makes John Edwards smile like he does. I'm surprised this hasn't been reported on a lot. He tries to project squeaky clean but we know he's sleazy. Narcissism is John's middle name.

His choice of uh...women projects that the only taste he has is in his mouth.
