Rielle Hunter: John Edwards could be the next Gandhi
Wizbang — Or maybe Martin Luther King. Take your pick. Rielle says John was her "project", and she could make him great : I struck up a conversation with the woman at the next event, as we waited outside. She told me her name and asked me what my astrological sign was, which I thought was a little unusual. I told her. She smiled, and began telling me her life story: how she was working as a documentary-film maker, living with a friend in South Orange, N.J., but how she'd previously had "many lives." She'd worked, she said, as an actress and as a spiritual adviser. She was fiercely ...

Strange Days

In a sane organization, that would be a firing offense (with possible exceptions for, say, horrifically intemperate letters the interceptor herself had written while intoxicated, slanderous letters from people blackmailing the interceptor, etc. But no exceptions for letters from the managing editors of major newspapers.) While I'm on the subject of things that make me cringe, here's another: "I would soon learn that there was no such thing as small talk with Rielle ...

Your John & Rielle Infodump for Aug. 10, 2008
Deceiver.com — ... , here’s another link to Newsweek’s Jonathan Darman looking back on his friendship with Rielle Hunter. Darman wrote the Dec. 2006 “John Edwards, Untucked” story about those weird campaign web videos that were at the root (so to speak) of all this.

Althouse — Jonathan Darman has his claws out: The first time I laid eyes on , I could tell she was a story. She had frizzy blond hair with DARK roots, wore bright nail polish and moved like someone who knew how to work a room.Huh? This made me a little suspicious of Darman. So what if her hair was frizzy and she wore bright nail polish? Lots of boring people do. And there's nothing amazing about dark roots. Why do you appear to be FREAKING OUT about it? She was on a cramped commuter flight and she was flirting with a candidate for president of the ...
