A new tell-all book written by a former campaign aide alleges that John Edwards and Reille Hunter captured their illicit romance on video. Gawker’s Ravi Somaiya:
Sources have told us that, in the throes of their affair, John Edwards and Rielle Hunter made a sex tape that contains “several sex acts.” And that his aide, Andrew Young found it on an unmarked DVD.
The tape, say both our sources, is explicit and reveals that Edwards “is physically very striking, in a certain area. Everyone who sees it says ‘whoa’. She’s behind the camera at first.”
When rumors of the affair first broke Young was so loyal to Edwards that he pretended that he was the father of Hunter’s daughter Frances Quinn, now 2. But part of Young’s disillusionment with the 2004 vice presidential candidate and 2008 candidate came one day as he went through a stack of DVDs at Rielle Hunter’s house.
Ravi’s soliciting copies of the tape. I’ll pass, thanks.
Thus far, David Corn has the best line on this:Â “John Edwards’ mission in life: to make Tiger Woods look good.“

John Edwards and his former mistress Rielle Hunter made a sex tape according to his former aide Andrew Young.
Edwards has remained pretty silent and out of the spotlight since he confirmed his affair with Rielle last year, but it seems Andrew isn’t so eager to remain silent as he is releasing a tell all book.
Andrew has reportedly signed a book deal with St.Martin’s Press, in this book he not only confirms that there is a sex tape but also says Edward’s is indeed the father of Rielle’s daughter (Edwards has denied this).
Andrew said he found the sex tape while unpacking at his home in California, he and his wife let Rielle stay in their home for eight months for an undisclosed amount of money.
Rielle apparently confided in Andrew during a talk they had, she said Edwards had discussed getting married with her if his wife Elizabeth died of the cancer she suffered from. They even discussed what muse they would be playing at the wedding.
Andrew’s character has been questioned in the past though, Elizabeth Edwards has said she partly blames Andrew for the affair since he knew about it and would help them talk on his cell phone, she also accuses him of stealing her late sons baseball card collection.
No word on when Andrew Young’s book will be released, but an editor has said the book’s proposal “was impossible to put down.”
Do we really need to see a sex tape between John Edwards and Rielle Hunter?
