If there is any truth to a JRE sex tape: How do we know that Rielle didn't make it?

[ddeclue]

Everyone is assuming that Edwards made the tape.

I'm sure he's not THAT dumb.

Cui Bono?

Rielle Hunter much more than JRE - after all sounds like the perfect tool to blackmail John to me.

Moreover who had the means?

Rielle Hunter - she was Edwards videographer after all. She had the equipment and know how to make the tape.

Before we turn DU into a bash Edwards fest again, let's be sure that Rielle didn't make the tape (assuming it actually turns out to exist at all.)

Thanks.

We know return you to your regularly scheduled prurient interest distraction threads.

1. oh why not just bash him anyway

he's earned it. pathetic creep.

[Hepburn]

2. Since she had the equipment and the profession...

...I would assume she made the tape.

Oh, I am referring to videotography of course...:hi:

[Happyhippychick]

3. I assumed that she did make it and he didn't know. Isn't that the buzz or did I just make a wild

assumption?

[Hepburn]

5. He may be a cheating M/F asshole...

...but the guy is NOT that dumb to only think with his dick 100% of the time. I would side on the conclusion that she made it without his knowledge.

[spiritual_gunfighter]

19. That is crap

So if a Edwards sex tape pops up, it was made without his knowledge??? John Edwards was an idiot for what he did, to do that to his wife, to do that to his career and to do that to the Democratic party had he gotten the nomination. I wouldnt doubt for a second that if a tape pops up he was the one making it with her. Please...

[Hepburn]

27. Thank you for the personal attack...

...welcome to my IGNORE list. If you cannot discuss like an adult, I am not interested in your comments.

Click....

6. Some here are assuming the opposite.

[redqueen]

17. Edit your OP then.

But thanks very much for yet another purient interest thread. *roffle*

[ddeclue]

21. Yeah but at least I admit it was a prurient interest thread..

:rofl:

[monmouth]

25. So did I. If there is a tape, that's her "leverage."....n/t

[MNDemNY]

4. How the fuck cares, he is dead.

(to me)

[joeybee12]

7. And he just happened to NOT see the video camera pointed at him...

...that makes him even dumber than making the tape himself.

[ddeclue]

9. and if it were a woman who was the victim of surreptitious taping would you be calling her "stupid"?

[joeybee12]

16. I didn't call it surrpeitious...I think even if she had the equipment, he

had to know she was making the tape...you can't just not see the thing...I doubt it was a hidden camera, but go ahead, knee-jerk all you want.

[EmeraldCityGrl]

8. It was reported yesterday Elizabeth is posting on message boards

in John's defense. Is that you Elizabeth? :evilgrin:

[ddeclue]

10. I wish... I just worked on JRE's campaign here in FL and met him a few times

when he came to town.

I was very disappointed but a lot of JRE threads here are just ridiculuous pile ons.

[Chulanowa]

11. And?

He still slept with her. She knew he was married. They're both douchebags in this situation. What's your point?

[ddeclue]

14. Just trying to get the who douchebagged who how part right.

[Chulanowa]

23. Ah, making a flowchart?

Well... Sounds fun, I guess?

[ddeclue]

24. :D

That would be fun..

:D

[LeftyMom]

12. Let's stop trying to find ways to paint him as the victim of his own stupid, self-centered behavior.

I don't give a flying fuck who recorded his having sex with a woman other than his cancer stricken wife.

The fact that he was having sex with a woman other than his cancer stricken wife, while running for president no less, is really quite enough to condemn him as a completely contemptible douchebag worthy only of scorn.

[redqueen]

13. Er... not everyone. I don't assume that he made it, or even that it exists.

One thing's for sure though... Edwards sure must have pissed that guy off.

[lumberjack_jeff]

15. HOW DARE YOU!!!11!

That POOOR woman was forced, no COERCED into participating in a videotape so that he could blackmail her... or sell it or something.

Yeah, I know she is a videographer hoping to marry her millionaire boyfriend when his wife died, but implying that she is a grownup capable of volition is a big no-no.

:sarcasm: cuz it's the law.

[Bobbie Jo]

18. Apparently he was dumb enough to put himself in a compromising position...

with a blackmailing "videographer." C'mon :wtf:

[ddeclue]

20. That much is true.

[rubberducky]

22. Makes no difference to me who made the tape or if there ever was a tape.

He KNEW better than to do what he was doing. He did not just owe fidelity to Elizabeth, but to the people who supported him. What the hell did he think would happen once this came out? What the hell kind of blackmail would this have opened him up to? Was he stupid enough to believe this would not ever come out? Shame, shame, shame on him AND Elizabeth, if she knew this.

[EmeraldCityGrl]

26. Thank you for stating the obvious.Elizabeth.

As far as candidate spouses are concerned she was the most driven I have seen. Young claims Edwards had as many as thirteen affairs on the trail.
Wives know when there's that degree of infidelity. The press has stated they were apprehensive about reporting the rumors early on out of respect
for Elizabeth and her health. I don't think Edwards wanted the nomination. I think he was pressured by her drive and ambition.

What a mess and legacy they've created for ALL the kids involved.

[TexasObserver]

28. It's just one more reminder of why he should be kicked in the balls once a day.
