What Was Edwards’ Ex-Ladyfriend Doing At Courthouse?

In this same shiny, shiny blouse, no lessOoh hot tawdry news regarding the dippy videographer who had sex with John Edwards and then, some months later, had a baby, which is maybe just coincidence! This woman, Rielle Hunter, was spotted entering a courthouse in Raleigh earlier this morning.

Maybe she had some unpaid parking tickets to take care of, or maybe she was testifying to a grand jury about whether or not Edwards improperly used campaign funds when he paid Hunter’s production company a buttload of cash while he was sleeping with her.

Either way, this is the most exciting thing to happen at the Raleigh courthouse in the history of the state of North Carolina.

    Q: What Was Edwards’ Ex-Ladyfriend Doing At Courthouse?

    A: The judge?

  2. Lascauxcaveman says at 10:28 am, August 6th, 2009

    Shit! That reminds me. (Unpaid parking tickets)

  3. ManchuCandidate says at 10:31 am, August 6th, 2009

    Maybe she dropped off the alleged *vomit* sex tape to the attorney general?

  4. I still am pissed at J E.

  5. WadISay says at 10:35 am, August 6th, 2009

    If she wants to put birth announcements in the Honolulu newspapers, now would be the time to do it.

  6. AngryBlakGuy says at 10:39 am, August 6th, 2009

    …she is probably getting one of those court ordered abortions(12th trimester?), that I hear the Obama socialist health plan is going to make us all get. Frankly, I cant wait for mine!!!

  7. chascates says at 10:43 am, August 6th, 2009

    The Carolinas are ground zero for marital mischief.

  8. No offense, but only a true southern gentleman would do that. You know, what with the hair. To say nothing about paying for it. Which he did. And Al Gore selected him as a running mate, and Al was in turn selected by Clinton as a running mate and therefore this implies something unsavory about the “release” of “American” “journalists” that Clinton so thoughtfully “arranged”.

    Also?

    Maybe I should take a nap or something….

  9. Maxine of Arc says at 10:47 am, August 6th, 2009

    jbd: [i]Al Gore selected him as a running mate[/i]

    Was this during one of my blackouts?

  10. jetjaguar says at 10:49 am, August 6th, 2009

    I missed it! Damn me and my tendency to never, ever be on time for work.

  11. Maxine of Arc says at 10:49 am, August 6th, 2009

    Maxine of Arc: you fucking failure.

  12. shadowMark says at 10:50 am, August 6th, 2009

    John Edwards said, “I am confident that no funds from my campaign were improperly distributed to Real Cunter. I mean Rielle Hunter.”

  13. hobospacejunkie says at 10:50 am, August 6th, 2009

    Relax, people. She is just changing her name, again. Some people change hairstyles when they want a new “me.” She changes names, although the judge vetoed her first choice, Elizabeth Edwards.

  14. InsidiousTuna says at 10:53 am, August 6th, 2009

    jbd: Gore-Edwards 2000? You sure about that?

  15. Mahousu says at 10:53 am, August 6th, 2009

    Rielle Hunter shows up at a courthouse, and next thing you know, Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme is being released from prison. Coincidence?

  16. norbizness says at 10:58 am, August 6th, 2009

    Has the fact that she is 6′11″ not clued anyone into the indisputable fact that this is BILL WALTON IN DRAG?!

  17. WIld Turkey says at 10:59 am, August 6th, 2009

    I heard she had been charged with boiling Elizabeth Edwards’ rabbit.

  18. Come here a minute says at 11:00 am, August 6th, 2009

    She went to the courthouse to begin her hike on the Appalachian Trail.

  19. Manos: Hands of Fate says at 11:01 am, August 6th, 2009

    Every time the termms Edwards and Hunter shows up in the news and poor kid in New Orleans and a laid off steelworker in Indiana gets laughed at by the media elites.

  20. eastcoastliberal says at 11:02 am, August 6th, 2009

    I don’t wanna know anything about that butt load.

  21. I don’t know about y’all, but I hope she fucks his life up but good. (sorry about collateral damage to Elizabeth, who I heart)

  22. marioninnyc says at 11:07 am, August 6th, 2009

    InsidiousTuna: Still, all things considered, I’d prefer to remember it that way.

  23. Better American Than You says at 11:10 am, August 6th, 2009

    Note to self: never have affair with wacko woman, no matter the legendary power of their libido and their skill at wild, monkey sex.

    I mean, “think logically before having affair with wacko woman….”

  24. stink, but says at 11:16 am, August 6th, 2009

    At least you can be assured the sex tape has incredible production values.

  25. Maxine of Arc: InsidiousTuna: I told you all I should take a damn nap.

  26. Gopherit says at 11:24 am, August 6th, 2009

    I know Opie, Andy, and Aunt Bea are takin’ a drive to Rayleigh right now. This kind of news will make Mayberry explode, and it’s really all about beating that bitch Floyd to the gossip.

  27. Anita Cocktail says at 11:26 am, August 6th, 2009

    InsidiousTuna: actually, I can kind of understand the desire to completely block out all memory of Alf’s father, I mean Joe Lieberman, in 2000. It still makes me retch a little when I see Smokin’ Joe on teevee acting all smug and republican-like.

  28. jodyleek says at 11:28 am, August 6th, 2009

    Making a court appearance after her arrest by the fashion police. That disco blouse is criminal!

  29. MzNicky says at 11:29 am, August 6th, 2009

    “the most exciting thing to happen at the Raleigh courthouse in the history of the state of North Carolina”? Really, Wonkette? You seem to be forgetting the “Fun Girls from Mount Pilot” episodes on “The Andy Griffith Show.”

  30. snideinplainsight says at 11:31 am, August 6th, 2009

    You are a bedraggled muskrat. You are passionate, toothsome, and credulous. Your scent is earthy tending to funky. You are loyal to your friends and lovers, but vicious to your enemies. Your natural matches are the wombat, the ibis, and the political animal.

  31. MzNicky says at 11:32 am, August 6th, 2009

    DAMN!! I’d have beaten Gopherit to the Andy Griffith reference if it weren’t for this STUPID slow Internets reloading device.

  32. Maybe Edwards’ should start waving the kid’s Kenyan birth certificate.

    “See, the ‘father’ blank says ‘Clinton Gore’ not ‘Kerry Edwards!’ I’m innocent! Did I mention my father worked in a mill?”

  33. Better American Than You says at 11:54 am, August 6th, 2009
  34. DoctorCulturae says at 11:55 am, August 6th, 2009

    Self-obsessed cougar gold-digger. Please for daimons to make her a fail.

  35. Mr_Deadite says at 11:57 am, August 6th, 2009

    ManchuCandidate: Look, if someone told me they had a video of John Edwards cold fuckin’ the shit out of Rielle Hunter, I’d be like, ‘Why the fuck aren’t we watching that *right* now?!”

  36. Lascauxcaveman says at 11:58 am, August 6th, 2009

    jodyleek: That disco blouse is criminal!

    Actually, I think it’s really working for her. She looks great in that picture.

    (Geez, there I go again, lusting after the androgynous types. And, NO! I don’t want to talk to a Freudian psychologist about it!)

  37. Mr Blifil says at 12:02 pm, August 6th, 2009

    Lascauxcaveman: She’s all woman where it counts (the slippery parts).

  38. pdiddycornchips says at 12:03 pm, August 6th, 2009

    I’m not sure I buy this. Usually when the exposed mistress of a celeb or politician is seen in public, there is a detailed description of what they’re wearing. We have no idea if Ms. Hunter was wearing jeans and a low cut tee or a short skirt with heals. Do they expect us to guess?

  39. Extemporanus says at 12:06 pm, August 6th, 2009

    chascates: Divorce lawyers refer to them as “North & South Vagina.”

  40. Lascauxcaveman:

    The question we have to ask is why did J.E. cheat on the mother from “That 70s Show” with Rod Stewart?

  41. You know, if you take that “Obama as Joker” picture and put a ratty blond wig on it…

  42. jodyleek says at 12:11 pm, August 6th, 2009

    I-man: Obviously, he wanted her body and he thought it was sexy. Hot legs!

  43. thetalltexan says at 12:19 pm, August 6th, 2009

    Was she looking for a new boyfriend?

  44. FlamingSooner says at 12:23 pm, August 6th, 2009

    Rielle?

    In Raleigh?

    REALLY????!!!!

  45. queeraselvis v 2.0 says at 12:25 pm, August 6th, 2009

    norbizness: Bill Walton would look a damn sight better in drag than this hot mess. Just sayin’.

  46. Elm Hugger says at 12:46 pm, August 6th, 2009

    Better American Than You: Well, if you don’t want them, put ‘em on a plane to OHare, I will do my best to help them achieve.

  47. Extemporanus says at 1:14 pm, August 6th, 2009

    FlamingSooner: ORALEE? YARALEE!

  48. norbizness says at 1:16 pm, August 6th, 2009
  49. Mapmonger says at 2:06 pm, August 6th, 2009

    Maxine of Arc: Now, now. There’s hardly a soul here that hasn’t publicly posted bad code in front of the snarkiest audience on teh intarwebz. Hardly. I think.

  50. thegunner says at 2:11 pm, August 6th, 2009

    I’ll hit it.

  51. bustydilettante says at 2:29 pm, August 6th, 2009

    Could be she had jury duty. Just sayin’.

  52. rocktonsammy says at 2:49 pm, August 6th, 2009

    her chin is longer than Leno’s.

  53. Nerdalicious says at 4:17 pm, August 6th, 2009

    orange:
    “I’m still am pissed at J E.”
    Me too.

  54. Nerdalicious says at 4:19 pm, August 6th, 2009

    hobospacejunkie:
    Did you know that Elizabeth Edwards is naming her new furniture store “The Red Window”. The Mrs. is still majorly pissed!

  55. Jukesgrrl says at 7:22 pm, August 6th, 2009

    pdiddycornchips: I saw it on the TV machine and she was toting the baby as her fashion accessory, just like your basic Hollywood skank. Seriously, who takes their baby to court? Next, she’ll be using Elizabeth’s money to build a $300,000 dog house in her backyard.

  56. IslandGirlFL says at 11:05 am, August 7th, 2009

    Watch the CNN Video. Hat on baby= hiding daddy hair. Sure giveaway of paternity. ALSO. WONKETEERS - BEST.COMMENTS..EVER. I heart you guys!!!
