Aaron Sorkin appears to be bold enough to take on the life of John Edwards, the philanderer with a $500 haircut. Sorkin has optioned The Politician, the tell-all written by aide Andrew Young, and plans to adapt it for the screen, producing and directing. The film will chronicle the former North Carolina senator's fall from grace, which began when that very real and legitimate pillar of journalistic ethics the National Inquirer first started reporting on his affair with Jay McInerney muse Rielle Hunter in October 2007.

Gender Essentialist Rielle Hunter Speaks To Tabloid

Choire Sicha | March 15, 2010

The preface to the Rielle Hunter Tells All About Her Love Life with John Edwards story in GQ goes like this: "While everyone else in the Edwards drama has said their piece, in books and/or television interviews, the mistress and campaign videographer and mother of his child has, in her own words, 'kept my mouth shut.' Until now (as they say in the tabloids)." As they say in the what now? Heh. But the interview itself is a funny thing, and if the commenters at the Post are to be believed, she's a horribly human being and a trashy whore and all kinds of things. But actually she's an old-fashioned gal who's not that different from most of us, except with some very rigid ideas of who women are and who men are. READ MORE

Aide: Edwards Asked Me To Steal A Diaper

Alex Balk | January 21, 2010

I have extremely limited interest in the entire John Edwards paternity saga, but if the phrase "steal a diaper" does not immediately enter the political lexicon there is something very, very wrong with this country.

Every Last One of John Edwards' Choices Is Bad

Choire Sicha | September 21, 2009

I can't believe it's already 3 p.m. and we haven't even discussed the John Edwards craziness of the weekend! Can you believe that shit? He was going to grieve briefly for poor cancer-wife and marry his baby-momma mistress while the Dave Matthews Band played? What a disgusting creep. Listen I'm sure some of you love Dave Matthews but Jesus Christmas, when a man says this to you, what do you even say? (ALSO was this before or after Dave Matthews was going all-out for Obama fundraising?) I should not be mean to Dave, he is against the racism and for the Tibet, and no doubt a great dude, but you know, he's not really that romantic as a musical entity, not really how you want your wedding to be when you finally marry the millionaire you slept with and got knocked up by and took away from his critically ill wife and stuff. What about, I don't know, Tindersticks, or maybe what are Katrina and the Waves up to?
