"Breck Girl" John Edwards Hated "Fat Rednecks Try(ing) To Shove Food Down My Face"--Separation From Wife Announced

I guess what the ambulance chaser John Edwards, really meant about "Two Americas" were the liberal elites in Washington he liked to hang out with vs. small town rednecks at town fairs he tried to sucker into voting for him.

That's according to a former aide of Edwards, Andrew Young, who has written a new book titled, The Politician (USAToday).

Washington Wire writers Louise Radnofsky and Susan Davis obtained a copy of The Politician, by former close aide Andrew Young, that details Edwards' attempts to hide his affair with Rielle Hunter, a videographer who worked for the campaign.

...Young , the WSJ reports, writes about discovering a compromising video of Edwards and a naked, pregnant lover identified by him as Hunter: "It was like watching a traffic pileup occur in slow motion — it was repelling but also transfixing."

Young also writes that Edwards, who billed himself as the modest son of a mill worker, hated making appearances at state fairs where "fat rednecks try to shove food down my face. I know I'm the people's senator, but do I have to hang out with them?"

That's right up there with "clinging to guns and religion." It looks like the Breck Girl hung out too much with John Kerry.

And when it rains, it pours for Johnny Boy. He and wife Elizabeth have legally separated today.
