More juicy details about John Edwards affair!

Allegedly, of course…
John Edwards assured his mistress that they’d be together after his cancer-stricken wife died, according to a new bombshell report.
Just before the former presidential contender confessed his adultery to ABC News on Aug. 8, he secretly flew Rielle Hunter and her 6-month-old child, Frances Quinn, from California to the US Virgin Islands, according to the National Enquirer, which first exposed their affair.
And after the interview, in which he denied loving Hunter or fathering the baby, he called her to say, “We’ll be together when Elizabeth is gone,” the tabloid reported.
For her part, Hunter bragged that Edwards is “a real good lover,” the Enquirer said.
And after she joined him in New Orleans in 2006 for the official launch of his candidacy - which Elizabeth skipped - Hunter told a pal that “it was one of the happiest nights of her life,” according to the Enquirer.
“She felt like she was his first lady,” the tabloid reported, quoting a source.
The Enquirer, citing sources, also reported that 55-year-old Edwards:
* Slept with Hunter the night they met in a New York City bar in 2006.
* First told Hunter, 44, he loved her during a trip to Africa. “I broke down in tears,” she told a friend.
* Flew to Boston on the same plane with 59-year-old Elizabeth and Hunter, who was the campaign videographer, right before his wife learned of the affair.
* Said he “wouldn’t hear of” an abortion after he impregnated Hunter in 2007.
Damn, Edwards! You truly are a bastard!
Why did you not let Rielle get an abortion, John? You do have a 100% NARAL approval rating.
Embarrassed much?
UPDATE 1: Gateway Pundit has more!
The day prior to Edwards bombshell admission to an affair on ABC’s Nightline, Rielle Hunter and her 6 month old daughter, Frances Quinn Hunter, were flown out of the US onboard a chartered Learjet.
The private flight cost $50,000 and was paid for by Edwards’ pals. The Hunters were the solo passengers aboard the eight-hour flight.
Destination: St. Croix in the Virgin Islands!
THE ENQUIRER tracked Rielle to St. Croix where our reporters discovered Rielle and the baby stayed in a luxurious oceanfront home owned by controversial trial lawyer Lee Rohn, another close friend of Edwards.
When visited by an ENQUIRER reporter on August 15, Rohn snapped a terse “No comment!” when questioned about Hunter.
Former Virgin Island Senator Anne Golden confirmed to THE ENQUIRER that “within 24 hours of their arrival that they were here and staying with Lee Rohn.”
After the ENQUIRER discovered Rielle’s hideaway with Rohn, she was moved to a motel on the island before returning to Santa Barbara on August 17 according to another source.
An ENQUIRER reporter then saw Rielle back in her California home, which is being paid for by Edwards’ former finance chairman Fred Baron.
And Rielle now has an off-duty police officer guarding her house.
Edwards is not only aware of the hush money payoffs but orchestrated it with his team of former campaign advisers and now The ENQUIRER has discovered that a team of six more lawyers have been involved in the cover-up and are funneling payments to Hunter, who has no money and no means of support.
The ENQUIRER has also learned that Hunter’s own lawyer advised her to allow Edwards to take a paternity test but she refused out of misguided belief that Edwards will marry her after the death of his cancer-stricken wife Elizabeth.
DAMN!
I want the IRS to take down Edwards!
The IRS should arrest Edwards and Hunter for tax evasion because they need to claim the hush money and the $15,000 monthly child support money!
UPDATE 2: AllahPundit at Hot Air is wondering who tipped off The Enquirer to Rielle Hunter’s “vacation”.
I’m guessing Rielle herself! Rielle wants to marry John, she wants money, and she wants the notoriety and lifestyle that comes with John Edwards.
