Say what you will about The National Enquirer but they do seem to be locked in on the whole John Edwards baby daddy drama. In their latest issue they are reporting that a secret DNA test was done and that it shows that John Edwards is the father of Frances who is the 18 month old daughter of Rielle Hunter. She is the woman Edwards has had an ongoing affair with while his wife deals with cancer.

Being the stand up guy he is John Edwards has always denied being the dad of the baby and Elizabeth Edwards has said she didn’t know who the father of the baby is. I always found that hard to believe. I mean if you are going to take your husband back aren’t you going to at least want to know if he fathered a child with his mistress? Are you going to close your eyes to everything and just pretend it never happened. The Enquirer kind of makes it seem like they are the ones who performed the secret DNA test. Well, they are The Enquirer after all, but it looks like the only secret is that it wasn’t released to the public. The test was actually part of a child support process because Rielle wants some money to help pay for the care of the child. Also, is there anyone out there who really didn’t think he was the father? This story would have gone away 18 months ago if he had just admitted it. The thing is a politician’s instinct is to deny, deny, deny until they are left no way out of the corner and then admit they were wrong. Kind of.
