John Edwards released a statement today regarding his admission that he cheated on his wife Elizabeth in 2006 and lied to his family and the public.
In the statement, he also says he will take a paternity test to prove he is not the father of Rielle Hunter's baby, Frances Quinn.
An excerpt (from The Atlantic's Marc Ambinder blog):
... I
only know that the apparent father has said publicly that he is the
father of the baby. I also have not been engaged in any activity of
any description that requested, agreed to or supported payments of any
kind to the woman or to the apparent father of the baby.
It is inadequate to say to the people who believed in me that I am
sorry, as it is inadequate to say to the people who love me that I am
sorry. In the course of several campaigns, I started to believe that I
was special and became increasingly egocentric and narcissistic. If
you want to beat me up - feel free. You cannot beat me up more than I
have already beaten up myself. I have been stripped bare and will now
work with everything I have to help my family and others who need my
help.
I have given a complete interview on this matter and having done so, will have nothing more to say.
