Former Senator John Edwards ('member him? The hair guy?) was THISCLOSE to nabbing the VP slot on the Barack Obama ticket, it was literally his to have and to hold, until his political career imploded over BabyGate in August.
Edwards was rumored to have been having an affair for years but the press gave him a pass. But give it to the snopes at the National Enquirer to break the news that he had fathered a baby by his mistress. His career is in the toilet and now the Enquirer has a dirty diaper with DNA to smear this douche!
According to the New York Daily News, a National Enquirer reporter somehow snatched a discarded soiled diaper at the Beverly Hilton believed to be loaded with the poop of the baby of mistress and campaign staffer Rielle Hunter.
Could it be the DNA evidence that proves Edwards is the father? Next, the tabloid will be following Edwards around trying to collect a spit cup so a test can be run to see if the two DNA samples are a match.
"All they need is a cup he drank from," says a source.
Edwards has denied he is the baby daddy, yet last month, Edwards' former finance chairman said that the former Senator was paying Hunter $15K a month in support to keep quiet.
Meanwhile, Edwards' cancer-stricken wife Elizabeth has apparently decided not to file for divorce, although she has been seen no longer wearing her wedding ring,
