Milk, Diet Coke and obsequiousness


For those who haven't gotten enough of the John Edwards/Rielle Hunter/Andrew Young saga -- and that's likely a microscopic demographic -- Politico has a nicely written, four-jump post on Young.

The best deets:

* The supposed sex tape of Edwards and mistress Hunter is Young's "hole card" as he struggles for income, Politico writes, attributing information to two sources who have seen the tape.

* It was Young who tried to secure the high-demand-short-supply Playstation 3 from Wal Mart before Christmas 2006 on behalf of Edwards, a Wal Mart critic. The incident that drew howls of hypocrisy.

* A recap of some of the nastier comments Elizabeth Edwards has made about Young, including that he was "pathetic" and that she and John were Young's "victims" -- "guilty only of 'being vulnerable to obsequiousness.'"

The story recounts how Young took care of all things Edwards: dry cleaning, milk in the fridge and the then-required Diet Coke supply.
