Because Truth is Always Stranger than Fiction

John Edwards  proposes to Rielle Hunter.  Nevermind that the headline comes from the National Enquirer since they were the only ones in the media willing to report the ugly truth about Edwards to begin with.  This latest revelation is nothing less than what you'd expect from a man who lives in a fantasy world where he is fairest one of all:

"John dropped the proposal bomb on Rielle shortly before he issued his statement" that he was indeed Frances' father, a close source divulged.

"John knew Rielle had been waiting for a proposal for two long years. Since they've gotten involved, she's followed every order he gave her, going on a cross-country cover-up, hiding away during her pregnancy and after giving birth for the sake of his presidential aspirations.

"Rielle never uttered a peep about their affair publicly, and remained loyal to John. John felt she deserved to know that he wanted to raise their child together, and wanted Rielle in his life as his partner.

"John has said that when his divorce is final, he'll buy her a diamond ring. But in the meantime, he's getting them a house."

May they live happily ever after, they certainly deserve each other.
