Edwards finally admitted last night on ABC’s Nightline that he had an affair with campaign employee Rielle Hunter in 2006, but denies that he is the father of her baby because he says that the timing just doesn’t match up. The National Enquirer recently published photos of Edwards holding a baby that could be the kid in question. Edwards says he doesn’t know if the man in the picture is him because he holds a lot of babies.

The man hasn’t taken a paternity test yet, so we still think the kid is his.

Edwards says,

Two years ago I made a very serious mistake, a mistake that I am responsible for and no one else. In 2006, I told Elizabeth about the mistake, asked her for her forgiveness, asked God for his forgiveness. And we have kept this within our family since that time.

Edwards says his wife Elizabeth (who has an incurable form of cancer, btw) was angry, but is standing by him. He says that he had the affair while his wife’s cancer was in remission, which makes it so much better, and that he never loved Hunter, which I believe cause that woman is fugly and looks like a horse.
