A former Aide to former U.S. Sen. John Edwards has made a tell-all book deal in which he says Edwards promised to financially take care of him if he falsely claimed to be the father of Edwards' mistress' baby.
Andrew Young, a former campaign finance director for Edwards, issued a statement last year claiming to be the father of the baby born to Rielle Hunter, the campaign videographer with whom Edwards had an affair. Edwards denied paternity in a television interview when he confessed to the affair.
The book, though, quotes Edwards as begging Young to confess to being the child's father and promising to take care of him for life, the New York Times reports.
As if that weren't enough, the book also alleges that Edwards, his party's 2004 nominee for vice president and twice a presidential candidate, participated in making a sex tape.

Re: Who's your daddy?
Can you imagine the ratings that the Maury Povich show would have if paternity could be announced on his show?
Maury deals with this type thing just about every day. There is a youtube video out of a guy who "is not the father." The guy is so happy he dances around the studio. He really has some talent as a dancer and hopefully pursued a dance career rather than further out-of-wedlock dalliances.
At any rate the audience for this show would top the ratings and probably be bigger than the show which identified "who shot J. R." Or even the O.J. verdict. There is quite a bit of interest in this in that it seems one of our senators or governors is fessin' up each new day. Shameful.
We probably need to start electing real ugly men to office and maybe that would help. Really heinous men. But probably not. Women are attracted to powerful men. LOL It's the woman's fault.
