Former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards doesn't have long to wait for the book he isn't waiting for."The Politician" will be published by Thomas Dunne Books on Feb. 2, according to Amazon.com. The author is Andrew Young, the one-time aide who claimed to have fathered the daughter of Edwards' ex-mistress, Rielle Hunter. Published accounts of Young's book proposal have said Young admits taking the fall for his former boss.
Here's how Amazon describes the book: "The underside of modern American politics -- raw ambition, manipulation, and deception -- are revealed in detail by Andrew Young’s riveting account of a presidential hopeful’s meteoric rise and scandalous fall. Like a non-fiction version of All the King’s Men, The Politician offers a truly disturbing, even shocking perspective on the risks taken and tactics employed by a man determined to rule the most powerful nation on earth ...
"Young had been the senator’s closest aide and most trusted friend. He believed that John Edwards could be a great president, and was assured throughout the cover-up that his boss and friend would ultimately step forward to both tell the truth and protect his aide’s career. Neither promise was kept. Not only a moving personal account of Andrew Young’s political education, THE POLITICIAN offers a look at the trajectory which made John Edwards the ideal Democratic candidate for president, and the hubris which brought him down, leaving his career, his marriage and his dreams in ashes."
UPDATED: What goes around comes around: Young is scheduled to talk about the book Jan. 29 on ABC's 20-20 with Bob Woodruff. Last August on ABC's "Nightline," Edwards categorically denied to Woodruff that he fathered Rielle Hunter's baby. "Absolutely not true," he said.
Young will also appear on ABC's Good Morning America on Feb. 2.

I hope people realize that this is not an isolated incidence. It happens all the time and no one is immune. 90% of people have a price...
There are two Americas, the one John Edwards and his type who seem to rule today and the one the rest of us live in.
Happens all the time??? A sanctimonious blow hard runs for president 2x, almost vp 3x, uses his dying wife as a prop and then pays a friend to cover it up so he can be veep? I dont see it happen in my neighborhood.
I heard Tiger Woods wrote the forward for him.
The difference is wives leaves their husbands when they cheat except for political wives. Politicians wives seldom do and resign theirself to a life of idiocy walking behind the man. They set a bad example and that behavior teaches male children cheating is ok and female children should tolerate this. They are the worse examples. The most Edwards wife could say was to imply the women chased him and it was her fault. Trying to find fault with the "other womens" behavior was ghastly and real turn off.
Put the blame where it belongs--square on the cheating spouse and stop looking to deceive further.
Edwards was far too in love with himself to be a serious political candidate.

Let me help you Sparky, I can't name one Presidential/VP candidate that marched out his cancerous wife for sympathy votes and fund raising while fathering a child with another woman. But since you are "the smart" liberal, please enlighten us.
Lets get real here. His fat ugly wife who refused to lose weight and wear makeup is why he lost in 2004 and had to join forces with Herman Munster the idiot after barely losing to him in the primary.
Not only that this pig made it a habit to keep telling the media how she ate at Wendys all the time and was free advertisement for them.
Who could blame Edwards? He was mad at her for refusing to lose weight and shaping up espec to be a 1st Lady.
Edwards single affair with the ex-movie star from Fl was justified and it is sickening to hear his pig whine on all the talk shows with the cancer as a scapegoat excuse.
Edwards may marry her and Sanford the same with his mistress.
Woods on the other hand spit in the face of the historic game of golf and abused his right as a human acting more like an animal with his all white ho sluts. He threw it all away and will give it all back and end up on welfare.
Look at OJ. What goes around ...
Hey Einstein that wrote about Woods and his "WHITE HO SLUTS".
How does it feel to be a bitter racist bigot? Are you upset that the 1/3 Black in Tiger wanted nothing to do with Black Women? I wonder why that is? I wonder why he married a WHITE woman? Have anything to do with behavior, moral values, integrity? Nah, Tiger must be racist against Black Women. LMFAO you sill ass clown.
Why would anyone even care about John Edwards any more?
I just wish someone, anyone, would just piss on little johnny edwards.
First, my name is Sparky.
Second, it happens all the time... I am referring to cheating spouses for any reason. If you don't see it in your neighborhood, then either you aren't looking hard enough or you are a hermit.
Hey sparkee, u are as dumb as your name. Cheating happens all the time but this story is one for the ages. Come on over to my hood and see!
The real victims are the Public who followed him and the families that loved and supported him. John Edwards had all the fun. By the way, at least Tigers Women are cute. Rielle Hunter is anything but cute!!
This is not a story for the ages. It is cheap trash. Get a life.
Sparky is dumb as rocks. If she doesn't care about the story, stop blogging about it. Cast the movie - Pee Wee Herman as Edwards? Tina Fey as Elizabeth? Devito as Young? Blonde porn star tbd as Rielle?
The new mayor is going to have the same problem, If don’t start checking people out before he endorse them. Unless, he likes taking photos with parents that have been investigated for child abuse. Smile
Woods only 1/3 black? Yea OK. Whatever. Real funny. Blacks sure claim him as "their" king of golf. Cant be selective when you want someone to be black or not. Hes obv a weird racist bigot like his supporters who discriminate against his own black females.
Gee whiz, out of 12 known all white female Woods sluts and who knows how many more, couldnt we at least have 1/3 or 4 of them been black females in this pc age?
