Rielle Hunter in GQ: Shaun Hautly

I had always liked John Edwards. I was supportive of him in the days where it was him, Obama, and Hillary. He's a UNC fan, and seemed like a family man. His marriage may have been terrible, and his timing even worse, but he still has to own up to breaking the vows of marriage. Not a smooth move for someone trying to win the trust of the American public. While I do understand that maybe getting a divorce during a presidential campaign is a lot more difficult than sneakily sleeping with a videographer, he should have at least used protection. There are a lot of "at leasts..." in his story. However, this article isn't about him, it's about the woman he chose to take him out of his political career forever.

So she's okay with being covered up from the media during the campaign, but now that it's all out of the bag, she decides to spill the beans to GQ (and their hard-hitting journalism) and while she's at it, strip down and pose. I'm with GQ on this one: get pissed at the photographer for making you wear something revealing or making you arch your back in the photo suggestively, but don't DO it, and then get pissed later. This is on par with someone suing Playboy for defamation of character. Besides, if she's becoming America's most talked about mom, shouldn't she have avoided suggestive photo shoots for a historically suggestive magazine?
