You know, if you’re the kind of girl that Bret Easton Ellis is using as a character model for “American Psycho”, it’s probably a good idea if you’re a presidential candidate to steer clear of that person (though the author does herself no help by admitting in the wake of Sept. 11 she immediately bugged out of New York for that island of sanity in Los Angeles).

Yikes, that’s extra-creepy. Where have all the normal people gone?
timmo on August 10, 2008 at 10:12 PM
Vapid.
coldwarrior on August 10, 2008 at 10:13 PM
Probably true…a Jerry Springer/Oprah superstar is born…again!
AUINSC on August 10, 2008 at 10:15 PM
Where have all the normal people gone?
Tuning out and having sex.

The LA Times wouldn’t say one word before Friday afternoon and they’re printing this today? And the la-de-dahs of newsprint were raising their noses to The Enquirer. At least their editor gave interviews where he stated seriously that they’re doing further investigation and Edwards would regret his Nightline lies. I guess the Times is waiting to follow the million dollar money trail once it’s exposed for them.

Whoa, here she comes
Watch out boy, she’ll fill you up
Whoa, here she comes
She’s a man eater
mram on August 10, 2008 at 10:23 PM
And the floodgates are open!
WisCon on August 10, 2008 at 10:24 PM
Yeah, that’s what I thought.
I bet what she made dashing this off paid for more than a month’s car insurance.

This is why, among other reasons (ahem), Eliot Spitzer went to a prostitute.
As they (yeah, not me, they) say: the money isn’t really for the sex; the money is for them to go away after the sex.
SteveMG on August 10, 2008 at 10:34 PM
Reille would have fit in perfectly with the Manson Family.
fogw on August 10, 2008 at 10:36 PM
Silky mating with Ms. skull-full-ah-mush? God help that poor child.
RMR on August 10, 2008 at 10:38 PM
The more I hear about this Hunter chick, the more I think she fits Edwards.
Spirit of 1776 on August 10, 2008 at 10:39 PM
Agree. The pillow talk between them must have been astonishingly vapid.
dedalus on August 10, 2008 at 10:46 PM
Rielle, Prince John’s press is Lewinskying you, dear. You do sound like quite the obsessive neurotic psycho stalker bimbo.
Marcus on August 10, 2008 at 10:46 PM
She had to get that article out quick before her 15 minutes were up.
pedestrian on August 10, 2008 at 10:50 PM
Wack job minds think alike
Musta been Edward’s pronunciation of Guantanamoo, sorta like Forest Gump in a way.
Or at least a Chris Matthews leg thrill kinda energy
Kini on August 10, 2008 at 10:51 PM
Uhhh…
The author sounds like a loon herself. But whatever I guess.
Dash on August 10, 2008 at 10:53 PM
Poor girl is even helping them out. Definitely fits the “bimbo” mold.
funky chicken on August 10, 2008 at 10:58 PM
Do you seriously think that LA is an “island of sanity”. You’re joking, right?
Guardian on August 10, 2008 at 10:58 PM
Dude. I thought the piece was funny bordering on hilarious and well written the post-ValleyGirl-ditz style. Fun.
Jaibones on August 10, 2008 at 11:04 PM
OMG. Duh…
Jaibones on August 10, 2008 at 11:04 PM
Yes, it’s fun to read in the MSM what a kook she is. Makes you feel sorry for the other guy, forgot his name. I think some tabloid had it, though.
Marcus on August 10, 2008 at 11:06 PM
Q: Why has Rielle Hunter been chased so hard by John Edwards?
A: He thinks she is an ambulance.
Dr. Charles G. Waugh on August 10, 2008 at 11:07 PM
Rielle Hunter was that hard-to-find perfect OJ juror. What better way to get a sleazy plaintiff’s lawyer hot for you?
RBMN on August 10, 2008 at 11:19 PM
True dat!
Keepin’ it Rielle: You’re the greatest.
Phony Pony: No, I’m the greatest.
Keepin’ it Rielle: That’s right, you ARE the greatest.
Phony Pony: NO! I am the greatest.
Keepin’ it Rielle: Your energy is is oozing all over me, I feel it, I feel it.
Phony Pony: Yes, I am the greatest…mmmmmmmmm

So… the “narrative” for explaining this whole thing is that he was not a rat bastard running around on his dying wife, but that a New Age, mantra-chanting, crystal clutching sorceress entranced Edwards to drop trow…
elgeneralisimo on August 10, 2008 at 11:27 PM
And I looked, and beheld a bar stool: and her name that sat on it was Death, and Hell followed with her.
- John Edwards
MB4 on August 10, 2008 at 11:35 PM
Please. That ain’t nothing. You want the full wackiness was Rielle Hunter?
Check this out.
Rightwingsparkle on August 10, 2008 at 11:41 PM
Hey wait. Don’t all women like to be called “sweetie”?
Rhinoboy on August 10, 2008 at 11:41 PM
According to the LA Times, BINGO! The Enquirer seems more interested in the money trail and him and evidence he’s lying, while the Times covers what’s important here: this evil woman and the mystical kitchen I guess Harrison Ford built. No doubt their reporters are furiously investigating if the Harrison Ford part is true.
Marcus on August 10, 2008 at 11:43 PM
It depends on which team you play for
Kini on August 10, 2008 at 11:44 PM
Wow….anybody else get the feeling that the twinkle in her eye is just the sun shining through the back of her head?
Patrick S on August 10, 2008 at 11:44 PM
ENERGY IS ALL AROUND ME
I feel it in my fingers
I feel it in my toes
Energy is all around me
And so my power grows
It’s written on the wind
It’s everywhere I go
MB4 on August 10, 2008 at 11:45 PM
Oh my, this just keeps getting better.
silenced majority on August 10, 2008 at 11:54 PM
Edwards claims trauma from his stalking. Nows suffers from post departing depression.
Dr. Charles G. Waugh on August 11, 2008 at 12:06 AM
All of John Edwards problems were caused by his lack of faith in Islam. If he had been a Muslim he could have just taken another wife. Maybe someone more mental mature than Rielle like six year old Aisha. He should have followed the example of the Prophet, may peace be upon Him.
Aleph on August 11, 2008 at 12:08 AM
Late night..yeah what they said
Tim Zank on August 11, 2008 at 12:19 AM
Exactly. I thought the same, reading the article – how befitting the pretty that he is. If he wouldn’t have the 3 kids, with Elizabeth, I’d say “marry her, Johnny, you look like each other, you fully deserve each other”. This book is weird…wait, it’s not a soap-novel, it’s reality.
Entelechy on August 11, 2008 at 12:54 AM
Interesting how many of these newsies now have these little personal perspectives of Hunter….how they knew her intimately, how their paths crossed, how they knew specifically who she was.
…yet none of them could find it in themselves to write about her when the NE was first floating stories.
And this dreck from Sarah Miller? How does this square with the memo from the big man about not writing about this?
If she had this information, and passed it up the chain to Mr. Big Man, why the clear order not to write about it?
…other than to cover for Edwards.
What chumps!
91Veteran on August 11, 2008 at 1:11 AM
Good one Doc!
91Veteran on August 11, 2008 at 1:27 AM
How many more hit pieces on Hunter are waiting around to be printed by the same mainstream press who said that they would not be sucked in by “baseless, slanderous allegations” with no proof? Apparently not printing mudslinging only applies to Him Who Hath the Hair…and Sleeps Around on His Dying Wife.
Spc Steve on August 11, 2008 at 1:31 AM
Don’t forget about the Mormons.
Forest Gump sums it up well for Edwards. Stupid is as stupid does.
Mojave Mark on August 11, 2008 at 1:43 AM
Oh hot damn! That is devastating. I hope that you don’t mind if I comment that over on DKos if and when they have an active thread, they don’t now, dissing Hunter going, particularly if it’s one where most commenters are defending him and going after her. I will be banned under that ID, of course, but it would be worth it.
MB4 on August 11, 2008 at 1:46 AM
Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know when you pick one if it’s going to end up eating you. [updated]

MB4 on August 11, 2008 at 1:50 AM
By all means. I gave up on my couple of IDs over there. Not worth the effort attempting to inject common sense, logic, or anything else that might disturb the buzzing echo of the hive.
Spc Steve on August 11, 2008 at 1:59 AM
I’ll keep a periodic eye out over there and if there is a good venue I will do it and report back if the Hive explodes.
MB4 on August 11, 2008 at 2:05 AM
Is there something in the water in LA?
Unrelated:
Was bored and watching the simpson’s tonight, and the Primary episode from last fall was on. Sadly, it seems that BHO is the ralph wiggum of candidates… Their platforms seem to match up pretty well.
Canadian Imperialist Running Dog on August 11, 2008 at 2:17 AM
Step one of the John Edwards rehabilitation process. As mentioned, it should be good for a couple insurance payments.
I think she left out the part about the girl boiling the pet rabbit in a pot on the stove. Oh wait, that was the movie with Michael Douglas.
Let’s see. This was the L.A, Times, Aug 10
Now the NYT, Aug 10, seeks the mystery man, Bob Helpful Dude McGovern (see HotAir Headlines above). Helpful Dude deviously tricked the hapless Edwards into the hotel meeting. Bob dabbles in the occult when he is not doing yard work or caring for the sick.
I like the part where Edwards reluctantly agreed to visit Rabbit Lady at the hotel, but only if Helpful Dude agreed to be there too.
As what – a channel for Demons???
Woe is me. Edwards foolishly thought Helpful Dude would protect him, or at least be a witness to his innocence
Instead H.D. thrust a baby into Edward’s arms knowing the born politician could not resist kissing the baby if there were cameras around.
This is where the NYT
Edwards rehabilitation strategyarticle misses the point. The real question is how Helpful Dude was able to use Mind Power to mesmerize one of the most successful Slip and Fall lawyers of our time into believing that only H.D. could protect Slippery from Rabbit Lady.entagor on August 11, 2008 at 2:18 AM
Well, you know those reporters were doing something for the last year.
funky chicken on August 11, 2008 at 3:07 AM
I really like Sarah Miller’s writing. It’s not her fault that a wackjob who’s eyes spin in her head moved into her former room.
Buy Danish on August 11, 2008 at 4:38 AM
That’s as far as I got before I decided the author was a gutless, self-absorbed tool not worthy of the time it would take to read whatever BS she had to say about Sleazy Pony.
SuperCool on August 11, 2008 at 6:01 AM
Sounds like someone should of shut the bedroom
door on the this so called energy nut!
And this reminds me of the movie Poltergeist
with the so-called energy in the bedroom!
Or,the bedroom is the source of the Leftys
koolaid!
canopfor on August 11, 2008 at 6:53 AM
Wow, what a burn out. This encounter sounds like a perfect primer for another lousy Hollywood movie… calling George Loony, calling George Loony, please report to the casting couch…
Zorro on August 11, 2008 at 6:55 AM
Can you imagine how mentally deranged and narcissistic that love-child is destined to be?
I can see why her and Johnny boy hit it off.
TheSitRep on August 11, 2008 at 7:04 AM
Tap into his heart more and use his head less? How is that possible?

Marilyn Monroe: Wouldn’t it be great if you and I had a baby together. My looks and your brains.
