While National Enquirer has not released numbers for its issue last week featuring Rielle Hunter and her baby, it looks like it didn’t go through the roof on the newsstand.
(If this is not true, please let me know.)
But I’d be hard-pressed to believe otherwise.
Now we’re talking.
While the National Enquirer made this huge story an inset, People goes for it.
Larry Hackett makes the smartest move of the week and picks Elizabeth Edwards as his main cover topic.
She’s the sympathetic character in the John Edwards’ scandal and readers feel really bad for her.
Plus, inside the magazine you’ll get to hear from those closest to her. Here’s a sample:
For the second week in a row, the National Enquirer decides to make its huge story on John Edwards simply an inset on the cover promising new details.
I don’t get that strategy at all.
Rush has really placed himself in the spotlight this time as the big a-hole in the John Edwards scandal. The talking head recently put forth his opinion saying (I’ve bolded the more offensive parts):
“I’ve got a theory about the motivations. Well, I don’t know that I could — I don’t know that I can put this one on the air…We know — we’ve been told that Elizabeth Edwards is smarter than John Edwards. That’s part of the puff pieces on them that we’ve seen. Ergo, if Elizabeth Edwards is smarter than John Edwards, is it likely that she thinks she knows better than he does what his speeches ought to contain and what kind of things he ought to be doing strategy-wise in the campaign?
Jennifer Love Hewitt became a bigger celebrity (no pun intended) when she was photographed in a bikini on a beach and called fat.
She replied that a size 2 is not fat and became a symbol for curvy women everywhere.
So what does she do?
The National Enquirer’s Editor-in-Chief David Perel promised more details and he’s delivering.
Here’s the latest from the National Enquirer regarding the John Edwards’ affair with Rielle Hunter:
Jay McInerney, the ex-boyfriend of John Edwards’ mistress Rielle Hunter, thinks that John Edwards has more explaining to do about his affair, according to reports.
“I think it was unchivalrous of him to basically say that he wasn’t in love with her,” said McInerney.
Let the vilification of John Edwards’ mistress begin.
Reille Hunter reportedly did worse than just disrespect the sanctity of the Edwards’ marraige. According to Newsweek, she also made fun of poor cancer stricken Elizabeth Edwards.
In 2006, I made a serious error in judgment and conducted myself in a way that was disloyal to my family and to my core beliefs. I recognized my mistake and I told my wife that I had a liaison with another woman, and I asked for her forgiveness. Although I was honest in every painful detail with my family, I did not tell the public. When a supermarket tabloid told a version of the story, I used the fact that the story contained many falsities to deny it. But being 99% honest is no longer enough.
I was and am ashamed of my conduct and choices, and I had hoped that it would never become public. With my family, I took responsibility for my actions in 2006 and today I take full responsibility publicly. But that misconduct took place for a short period in 2006. It ended then. I am and have been willing to take any test necessary to establish the fact that I am not the father of any baby, and I am truly hopeful that a test will be done so this fact can be definitively established. I only know that the apparent father has said publicly that he is the father of the baby. I also have not been engaged in any activity of any description that requested, agreed to or supported payments of any kind to the woman or to the apparent father of the baby.
It is inadequate to say to the people who believed in me that I am sorry, as it is inadequate to say to the people who love me that I am sorry. In the course of several campaigns, I started to believe that I was special and became increasingly egocentric and narcissistic. If you want to beat me up – feel free. You cannot beat me up more than I have already beaten up myself. I have been stripped bare and will now work with everything I have to help my family and others who need my help.
I have given a complete interview on this matter and having done so, will have nothing more to say.
If John Edwards thinks his interview tonight is the end of this story, he’s WRONG.
David Perel, The National Enquirer’s Editor in Chief, says, “The NATIONAL ENQUIRER has published a series of important exclusive article on John Edwards’ affair.
Unfortunately, the former senator lied to the America public, while running for president, dismissing the truth as “tabloid lies.”
After the ENQUIRER caught him visiting Rielle Hunter and the baby at the Beverly Hilton on July 21 Edwards was forced to admit to the affair but we believe he still has not told the entire truth, particularly regarding his recent secret meetings with Rielle and the baby and the financial support she is receiving.
The ENQUIRER’s investigation continues and we will be publishing another important exclusive this week.”
