Has anyone seen my keys? I’m late for a happening.
mylegsareswollen on August 9, 2008 at 10:05 PM
I guess ‘Hunter’ is a good name for her.
BobH on August 9, 2008 at 10:06 PM
I can only assume the little child is named “Moonbat”.
Marcus on August 9, 2008 at 10:09 PM
She seems as insubstantial as Edwards. They make a good pair.
dedalus on August 9, 2008 at 10:14 PM
Um, okay, that was just weird.
And so were the comments at Newsweek. If that is their target audience I’m glad I stopped subscribing during 41’s administration.
cozmo on August 9, 2008 at 10:20 PM
So close yet so far.
pedestrian on August 9, 2008 at 10:29 PM
Rielle is a whole new category of moonbattery.
Buford Gooch on August 9, 2008 at 10:29 PM
Well I can certainly see why they would hire her and then give her tons of cash and million dollar homes to live in. What campaign doesn’t need a New Age Astrologist/Seeker to make documentaries that are not worth releasing?
Guardian on August 9, 2008 at 10:32 PM
She won’t agree to a paternity test!?
I am shocked, shocked I tell you!
BobH on August 9, 2008 at 10:35 PM
Is that the same Jay McInerney who described Rielle as a cocaine-addled, sexually-voracious party girl in the Fox article?
What an idiot this woman is. But keep dissing your married lover’s terminally-ill wife, honey, ‘cuz that’s a strategy that guaranteed to get you a marriage proposal from the father of her devastated children after she’s gone. Yeah, they’re really gonna love you.
AZCoyote on August 9, 2008 at 10:35 PM
This is in Newsweek and not People magazine, right?
I love the two other pieces “They Myth of the Race Card” by Anna Quindlen and this gem by Eleanor Clift, “Is Obama too Cerebral?”
Jon Meacham is running a tight ship over there.
Y’know, we all agree that Bill O’Reilly is a bloviating silly person on occasion (or more than occasionally); but when he says the press in America has never been more corrupt, he’s right.

So Edwards thought he would try to get a edge in politics
through the new agey spiritual stuff,very strange!
Now if Edwards had bothered to listen to late night
talk radio,like coastocoast,Edwards would of got a
little more educated!
I think Silky hooked up whats called an energy vampire,
and it sounds like Reille sucked more than just Silkys
energy out of him!
And Reille has a little moonbat out of the deal as well,
while Silky says he felt “special”,he got done used good
by some nut cake broad who sounds like she playing with
the dark side!
Note to men,if the chick your dating is acting like its
the 1600’s in Salem,don’t walk,run like h#ll!
*(canopfor things this is nutty,and only the Lord knows what
Reille is really up to,the appearance of occult and all!)
canopfor on August 9, 2008 at 10:41 PM
I’ve met women like this, after sitting in stunned silence when I listen to them prattle on about my soul and energy, I excuse myself to go to the can and get the hell out of there. WTF was Edwards thinking?
lowandslow on August 9, 2008 at 10:49 PM
Not in my house it isn’t , even though I was put on some list and getting it free of charge. Called and told them to quit sending it. Customer Service was pleasant enough and said I wasn’t the only one on the feebie list calling with that demand.

Well Riele, your wish has come true. Silky has finaaly reached his full potential.

What was the point of that? Does the guy think it’s cool to have been acquainted with this airhead, and be able to drop her name?
Is he the gossip columnist over there? I never read Newsweek.

He was thinking that he liked having a pretty woman around telling him that she sees him as the next Gandhi.

wise_man on August 10, 2008 at 12:01 AM
Didn’t follow this story closely, maybe someone can fill me in.
Did he ever say why he was visiting her at the hotel if the affair ended long ago and it isn’t his child?
freedomplow on August 10, 2008 at 12:14 AM
This is just a distraction from the fact that Obama is an unqualified person with no relevant accomplishments.
Hunter makes some of the Obamaniacs seem marginally sane.
Right_of_Attila on August 10, 2008 at 12:17 AM
“She didn’t make eye contact with me.”
The dollar signs in her eyes were blocking her view.
viking01 on August 10, 2008 at 12:25 AM
Supposedly, he was visiting Bob McGovern who drove Hunter to the hotel and booked two rooms under his name. There is not explanation as to why he was visiting McGovern who is Hunter’s friend. Nor did that dick Woodruff make Edwards respond to the question have you met with Hunter before, when Woodruff knew that Hunter and Edwards had rendevouzed at the same hotel a few weeks earlier.
Blake on August 10, 2008 at 12:32 AM
I believe how it goes it he received word from his lawyer buddy that he and she wanted to meet with him for some reason. He said he went to see if he “could help”. What people speculate is that the true reason he went is she was threatening to talk to the press and break it open. I don’t believe he’s stupid enough to have “dallied” that night, but I do think the kid is his which calculates to having been dallying after Elizabeth stated her cancer had aggressively returned. Scumbag thinks that particular timeline difference could stand between him and Attorney General.
Marcus on August 10, 2008 at 12:33 AM
I strongly suggest everyone who didn’t see the interview look for the thread here and look at the ABC video – if anything go to the last 10-15 seconds where he is asked “Did you think it would end this way?” “-End? What’s ended?” “Your political career, it’s over”. -”Over? It’s not over.”
The guy is pathologic.
Marcus on August 10, 2008 at 12:38 AM
Blake and Marcus
Thanks for the tip.
freedomplow on August 10, 2008 at 12:45 AM
C’mon..he’s a Democrat. I’ll pay money to watch your jaw hit the floor in 2014 when he’s the Democratic nominee vowing to “continue the ‘O’”. By then, he will have been canonized along with Ted Kennedy.
AUINSC on August 10, 2008 at 12:54 AM
When I read “Story Of My Life” 20 years ago, knowing that McInerney had said the protagonist was based on a real person he had dated (who was a sex and drugs monster), I thought “Holy hell. What is going to happen to this girl?” It appears that truth really is stranger than fiction. Story Of My Life is actually a pretty good novel, you guys.
WasatchMan on August 10, 2008 at 12:55 AM
Yeah but you think even Edwards would wonder if a few minutes of sexual pleasure is worth listening to her drone on about their comic connection or how they union transcended some spiritual plain or some other happy horseshit for the next few hours.
lowandslow on August 10, 2008 at 12:57 AM
Unfortunately, I have met a number of people who share Ms. Hunter’s beliefs in this new age crap. I just try to keep a straight face and be polite.

It’s not over till the flake lady sings.
Dr. Charles G. Waugh on August 10, 2008 at 1:31 AM
Ya know… it’s fairly obvious that Mrs Edwards and Miss Hunter didn’t get along from the get go. I’m sure they both put out those feelers and then both put out those vibes which were perceived by both. I used to think my Mom had radar and a dish antenna in her head. She always knew which of my friends were losers and which weren’t, and which girlfriends were tramps and which weren’t. It was borderline eerie that she always knew what I was up to also. I think it’s a gift most women have. It seems to me Mrs Edwards may be the driving force behind Miss Hunter being fired by Mr Edwards’ campaign, despite their “official” reason(s).
Now, Mr. Edwards is skulking around Beverly Hills hotels holding secret trysts with Hiss Hunter into the wee hours of the morning, more than once, while Mrs Edwards fights cancer at home, and years after their adulterous affair allegedly ended. And for what? Old times sake? A tarot reading? C’mon. He’s visiting his love child, his flesh and blood, and perhaps getting a little more Midnite delight to boot.
SilverStar830 on August 10, 2008 at 1:35 AM
According to Wikipedia (linking to a story in the Raleigh News & Observer), her name is pronounced “Riley”. BTW & FWIW.

There is a certain Rovian aspect to this, no doubt.

OK everybody – how is this person’s name supposed to be pronounced?
“RIELLE”
Ree – elle?
Rye – lee?
Reel?
I think I’ve heard every remote possibility in the last 36 hours…

Do people still ask each other what their astrological signs are? I thought
that went out in the 70’s.
mimi1220 on August 10, 2008 at 8:38 AM
After reading this I conclude Jonathan Darman knew and he sat on it. Even if he was only deeply suspicious he knew what the Enquirer printed was likely true and Newsweek did nothing about it. The American media is corrupt top to bottom. They are an enemy of the American people.
TheBigOldDog on August 10, 2008 at 8:52 AM
Wasn’t it also Newsweek that knew about Monica Lewinsky, but sat on it until Drudge broke the story?
Wethal on August 10, 2008 at 9:09 AM
I thought Rielle’s sister was the possible source of all the tips but now I think it may be Rielle herself. She may have tried to get Darman to break the story for her but he declined and perhaps others in the MSM did as well. That forced her to go to the Enquirer since they don’t seem to let ideology get in the way of business.
I think the biggest hint that it may be her is this:
Marriages end when affairs become known. She needed to make it know.
And this:
I forgot about that. I believe you are correct.
TheBigOldDog on August 10, 2008 at 9:20 AM
We had a name for girls like her in high school.
EJDolbow on August 10, 2008 at 9:21 AM
Sounds like they channeled each other just before they screwed each other!
Me thinks they each deserve other, two fools passing in the night. I actually feel kind of sorry for Hunter for getting taken by such a scumbag, then of course a huge portion of the American media and electorate made the same mistake.
Not I, I can spot a lying scumbag of an ambulance cashing trial lawyer, narcissistic, self absorbed, idiot, leader of the Demonrats a mile away.
Picked her up in a hotel bar, wow, wonder if he was trolling with one of Carvilles hunderd dollar bills. Makes Bill Clinton look like a piker, maybe he should be the rats candidate.
dhunter on August 10, 2008 at 9:40 AM
I read an article yesterday that said Elizabeth Edwards had tried to get Hunter’s phone number while Hunter was still working for the campaign. Sounds like you’re right, and Elizabeth knew (or suspected) what was going on.
According to her friends, this bubblehead woman Rielle actually thinks Edwards and she are going to marry after Elizabeth is gone. Since she doesn’t appear to have a clue, I’m gonna offer her some, gratis:
John-boy likes to think of himself as a good and decent man — a righteous dude, in your parlance Rielle. That’s why he was so ready to suck up your fawning flattery about him being a great world leader like Ghandi and MLK. The problem for you is that you now serve as a testament to the fact that he’s not a good guy — he’s a lying, cheating, scum-bag who betrayed and humiliated his loving, loyal, desperately-ill wife. Nobody’s going to marry a person whose very existence reminds them (and the rest of the world) every day of the fact that they’re a low-life.
Then there’s the little problem of Elizabeth’s children. Have you been imagining that they’re going to welcome you into their lives as their new step-mom? Fat chance of that. The older daughter already knows that you’re the skank who crawled into her father’s bed and tried to break up her parents’ marriage while her mother was fighting cancer; the woman who caused her mother so much unnecessary pain and humiliation at a time in her mother’s life when she was sick and vulnerable. And if the younger children don’t yet know all the details of your sleazy behavior, they soon will. When their mother’s gone, you are the last person in the world her grieving children are going to want to have around.
So Rielle, if you’re keeping quiet now because you think there are going to be wedding bells for you and John-boy in a couple of years, you’d better think again. Probably one of the few truthful things that came out of Edwards’ mouth on Friday was this: I never loved her. Oh yeah, I get that he’s been telling you differently in your phone conversations and late-night hotel assignations, but what’s the one thing we all know for sure about John-boy, Rielle?
We know he’s a liar.

I love this faction of the Dem’s Enviro-Moonbat-Anarchist-Mob coalition – the New Agers. They do as much to discredit the entire coalition as anyone. They are further down the pecking order than the mobsters and the anarchists.
It will ever remain a mystery to me why men like Edwards, when they want to get it wet, find someone like this. Maybe it’s just because it’s so easy; is he that lazy?
Jaibones on August 10, 2008 at 10:27 AM
You do, at first. But if it wasn’t Edwards, it would have been the next successful realtor or bit-part actor who could bring himself to speak New-Age babble long enough for two Sea Breeze’s in the hotel bar.
She victimizes herself.

Count me as a cad but Elizabeth Edwards is more than just a wronged spouse in this.

Yes, they do. For example: John Edwards’ current sign is “Mud.”
She thought Darman was Old King Cole?
Finally, someone please tell Edwards I’ll admit to fathering his child for only $10,000 each month. [And that's a generous offer -- only about four special haircuts.]

If she pens a tell all of any kind, she may make some cash in the short run, but after the novelty disappears, no one will want anything to do with her.
