John Edwards? Love child? Say it ain't so!

Apparently, according to the all knowing and all trusting National Enquirer, John Edwards has a love child! Now, if you read the entire story, you'll see that there is no proof of this, but...The cat is out of the bag, and perception is reality. I feel badly for John Edwards, but not if it's true.

Update: KATIE QUERIES CANDIDATES ON INFIDELITY Tue Dec 19 2007 14:49:22 ET

KATIE COURIC:

Harry Truman said, "A man not honorable in his marital relations is not usually honorable in any other." Some people don't feel comfortable supporting a candidate who has not remained faithful to his or her spouse. Can you understand their position?

SEN. JOHN EDWARDS:

Of course. I mean, for a lot of Americans-- including the family that I grew up with, I mean, it's-- it's fundamental to-- how you judge people and human character-- whether you keep your word, whether you keep what is your ultimate word, which is that-- you love-- your spouse, and you'll stay with them.

KATIE COURIC:

Do you think-- what-- what about people who use that as a way to evaluate a candidate? In other words, there have been a number of fine presidents according to some analysts-

SEN. JOHN EDWARDS:

Right.

KATIE COURIC:

--who have certainly not been sort of exhibited the greatest moral character--

SEN. JOHN EDWARDS:

Right.

KATIE COURIC:

--when it comes to infidelity--

SEN. JOHN EDWARDS:

Right.

KATIE COURIC:

--I guess is what I'm getting at.

SEN. JOHN EDWARDS:

Yes.

KATIE COURIC:

So how important do you think it is in the grand scheme of things?

SEN. JOHN EDWARDS:

I think the most important qualities in a president in today's world are trustworthiness-- sincerity, honesty, strength of leadership. And-- and certainly that goes to a part of that. It's not the whole thing. But it goes to a part of it.

KATIE COURIC:

So you think it's-- an appropriate way to judge a candidate?

SEN. JOHN EDWARDS:

Yeah. But I don't think it's controlling. I mean, I think that, as you point out, there have been American presidents that at least according to the-- to the stories we've all heard-- that were not faithful, that were in fact good presidents. So I don't think it controls the issue. But I think it's certain-- something reasonable for people to consider.
