From the Montgomery Advertiser:

[John Edwards] is one of the headliners for the Business Council of Alabama’s annual Chairman’s Dinner in Birming­ham, and a BCA spokeswoman said he is still expected to attend the event.

“At this time we assume the event will go forward as planned,” said Marty Sullivan, senior vice president for public affairs and communications for the BCA.

Edwards was scheduled to ap­pear with Republican and for­mer U.S. Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich. No stranger to scandal, Gingrich admitted just last year that he cheated on both his first and second wives.

Is it really that hard to find a politician who hasn’t cheated on his wife?  Don’t answer that.

FWIW, the National Enquirer, the tabloid that broke the Edwards story, is claiming that Edwards was in fact having sexual relations with that woman, Ms. Hunter, after telling his wife of the tryst.

The ENQUIRER has uncovered that Edwards’ political operatives are still paying his mistress Rielle Hunter - and she was whisked away on a private jet two days before he confessed their extramarital affair on national TV!

After Edwards confessed the affair to his wife, he restarted it, and was sexually involved with Rielle when she became pregnant.

Despite his denials, Edwards WAS aware that his former finance committee chairman, Fred Baron, was funneling money to Rielle.
