In 2006, the frontrunner for the Democratic presidential nominee was... John Edwards? He'd unsuccessfully campaigned as VP for John Kerry in 2003, so he was a known quantity (unlike that Barack Obama guy). But in an arena that is rife with unforced errors, Edwards made perhaps the biggest, most outrageous string of them — all while his wife, Elizabeth, was dying of terminal cancer. Not a great look, even as Edwards vied for relevancy by getting in on that new website YouTube, with the help of one Rielle Hunter (née Lisa Jo Druck). A few National Enquirer headlines, one incredibly loyal, lying aide and many memoirs later, we finally have the full story of John, Rielle, and the ways in which affairs can go so sloppy so fast. Kasey escorts Mark through the years-long drip-drip-drip of revelations, all of them way more tawdry than you probably remember.
