Edwards Comes Clean: Roseanne Frangione

Poor John Edwards. In (finally) admitting that the daughter of his ex-mistress is his own flesh and blood, he has gone on record in saying that he hopes “when she understands, she will forgive me.” Sadly for little baby Quinn, there is a lot to understand about her daddy before any forgiving can take place.

For starters, Quinn will have to understand that her father was a married man who cheated on his wife. Then she's going to have to understand that when her mother became pregnant, daddy-to-be John Edwards lied and said he wasn't involved with Rielle Hunter, Quinn's mother. Let's not forget that many have speculated that Edwards paid off campaign aide Andrew Young to claim to be the father of little Quinn, even though Young himself was a married man. Probably the hardest thing Quinn will have to understand is that during all of these shenanigans, Daddy was running for President of the United States. That's a whopper to deal with.

John Edwards is a poor example of a man. I firmly believe the only reason he came forward to admit what most of us have suspected for quite some time is because Andrew Young's book will most likely spill the beans on all of Edwards' dirty little secrets. My heart goes out to Edwards' wife, Elizabeth, and I sincerely hope she can move forward with her life and find happiness after the mess her husband has made.
