Not Serving Wine

It’s hard to tell who’s crazier: Andrew Young or John Edwards.
 
Back in 1998 in Myrtle Beach Young hears Edwards make a speech and, as Young told it himself in court last week, fell in love. A few years later Rielle Hunter met Edwards in a New York bar and fell in love too. Then Rielle got pregnant. And John told Andrew, She’s a crazy slut, and got Andrew a big stack of cash (from two friendly millionaires) to keep Rielle out of sight while Edwards ran for President.
 
Young got one millionaire to give him $28,000 to buy Rielle a BMW then got the other millionaire to send him another $28,000 (to pay for the same car) to spend on himself.
 
Rielle started feeling ignored by John so she threatened to tell reporters about their affair – two National Enquirer reporters showed up in Chapel Hill, chasing Rielle, and Young talked his wife into letting him tell the press he was Rielle’s child’s father.
 
Rielle and Young went on the lamb over the next year and Young took $1.2 million from the two millionaires to hide Rielle and spent a cool million of it building himself a hilltop home in Chapel Hill.
 
After his Presidential campaign’s kaput John betrays Andrew and Rielle and the knives come out. Andrew finds a sex tape of John and Rielle. Makes a book deal. And a movie deal. And John ends up in federal court facing 30 years in prison with Andrew testifying against him and Rielle set to testify next.
 
And imagine this: Once upon a time, not too long ago, out of old-fashioned probity Democratic Governor Jim Hunt wouldn’t serve wine in the Governor’s Mansion.
