The Parent Trap

By now, North Carolinians can be forgiven for denying paternity of everybody involved in the John Edwards affair.
 
Edwards surprised no one by finally admitting he’s the father. At least he beat ex-gofer Andrew Young’s book to the punch.
 
Edwards had the good sense to fess up in a written statement – and not go on camera himself. That didn’t work out so well last time.
 
He delegated the heavy on-air lifting to my old friend Harrison Hickman, who acquitted himself well in a tough situation.
 
(Viewer Alert: The Today show will have another segment on Edwards tomorrow. NBC interviewed me for that.)
 
Edwards’ admission and the book Game Change will take a lot of steam – and maybe sales – out of Young’s book.
 
Young could end up looking like a bitter ex-toady out for revenge and money.
 
It’s amazing that with everything going on in the world – the tragic Haiti earthquake and now the Massachusetts political earthquake – Edwards manages to stay in the news.
 
He’ll probably show up in Haiti next. But that’s better than hitting on women in bars, which is where the National Enquirer claims he was New Year’s.
