Edwards' mistress speaks out

After almost two years of silence, John Edwards mistress, Rielle Hunter, has finally spoken to the media, specifically GQ Magazine. Rielle is really different, as the Washington Post points out:

Hunter goes on to dispute many things that have been written about her: The business card she handed to Edwards when first meeting didn't say "Truth Seeker," it said "Rielle Hunter. Being Is Free." She wasn't dressed for a Grateful Dead concert, as one staffer told journalists, but in "a black Tse cashmere sweater, a Kenneth Cole suede jacket, and jeans." John never promised her a rooftop wedding featuring Dave Matthews.

There's a lot of New Agey talk -- John hasn't "fallen from grace... he's fallen to grace," and astrology told her he shouldn't run for president anyway. There's a lot of rationalizing -- John lied about her because "he was traumatized." There's some "Men are from Mars, women are from Venus" -- she couldn't go public sooner because she didn't want to "emasculate" her ex-lover.

Thank God Edwards' political career is over.
