On today's Good Morning America, a seemingly high-as-a-kite Rielle Hunter revealed that as of last week, she and John Edwards are "still a family, but no longer a couple."
And the world weeps.
Color me shocked on this bombshell since so many relationships that begin under a cloud of infidelity tend to go the distance. Who wouldn't want to be with such a stand up guy who cheats on his dying wife with a hooker from his campaign?
But Rielle took this morning's moment in the spotlight to hawk the idea that she and John are both "real humans" with real emotions, who were swept up in a sea of love.
And by sea of love, she meant a box of Viagra and too much time on their hands.
She then added insult to injury by advocating for Edwards, stating that he's not a demon and his deceased wife wasn't all that innocent. According to Hunter, Elizabeth Edwards used her kids as pawns in a play for John's attention.
Hey Rielle, remember your 2010 interview with Oprah about your baby daddy drama?
Pot. Kettle. Black.
This latest string of TV appearances comes on the heels of Hunter's book tour, where she's attempting to sell her story to the public so everyone can get to know the "real Rielle".
She could have saved herself the time of writing an actual book and just posed for Playboy. That would have communicated the same, deep message that no one wants to read or see to begin with.
The real victim in all this is the 4-year-old girl that was spawned from Hunter and Edwards' dirty loins. That poor child was born into a flying shit storm that will never reach its calm as long as the National Enquirer stays in business.
Hunter should take a page from Michael Jackson's parenting book and put a paper bag on that little girl's face to maintain her anonymity. And while Rielle is at it, she should do the same for herself.
Edwards has been eerily quiet throughout this entire ordeal. Most likely because he has zero credibility left with the American public and his own children take swings at John Edwards-themed pinatas during every holiday celebration.
I hope these two find their way back to one another, since I can't imagine who else would date either of them. Although, even Chris Brown was able to find himself a girlfriend in his post-Rihanna world, so maybe people really are that desperate.
I pity the fool who decides to take on John Edwards as a rebound. With no political clout to back him up, he's really just the glorified Gary Coleman of the Democratic party. And that's definitely not saying much.
Maybe he'll channel Stella and get his groove back one day. But with Rielle as a constant in his life, he's guaranteed a life of mediocrity and STDs.
To the Good Morning America team: Apologies you had to sit through that interview. And please sterilize everything in your studio lest you accidentally catch syphilis of the arm after shaking hands with Ms. Hunter.
