Say it ain’t so!  Presidential candidate John Edwards allegedly had an affair with one of his campaign workers.  A source close to the alleged mistress claims that she confessed the affair with Edwards to her in emails and telephone calls.

“The affair started about 18 months ago.  When they met at a bar, sparks flew immediately.   She never expected it would turn sexual since John is married and is running for President. But it soon did — and she fell for him.”

“They got together whenever they could, mostly at hotels where Edwards and his campaign staff stayed.”

The friend says the woman told her that she “had a crush on John. One thing led to another, and they soon ended up in bed together. But she knew there was no way he was going to leave Elizabeth, a wife battling cancer.”

Edwards and the woman decided to end the affair because they both felt guilty about what they were doing, says the friend.

Edwards’ spokesman denies the former senator ever had an affair and denies the allegations.

This is all according to The National Enquirer, so it could be utter horse poop, but sometimes, i.e. the Owen Wilson suicide attempt, they are right on the ball.  So is this story coming from the “good” National Enquirer, or the “bad” National Enquirer?  Hopefully it’s coming from the “bad” because it’s pretty despicable if it’s true.  I mean politicians cheating on their spouses seems to be pretty par for the course, but cheating on a wife battling cancer?  That’s harsh.  And voters don’t like that shit.
