UPDATE: Hunter's Sister Urges Edwards Test

ABC News reported on its Web site yesterday that Rielle Hunter's younger sister Melissa said that Edwards should immediately follow through on his pledge to take a paternity test. "I would challenge him to do so," the sister said. The network did not use a last name for Melissa.

"Somebody must stand up and defend my sister," she said. "I wish that those involved would refrain from bad-mouthing my sister."

Hunter's sister said Rielle was being falsely portrayed as a "promiscuous person" and was not involved in "setting up" Edwards last month at a Beverly Hills hotel, where he was confronted by reporters from the National Enquirer.

"She is a good and honest person, the sweetest and most caring woman one could ever hope to meet," Melissa said. "Do you think it's easy for us to just sit back and let everyone rip her to shreds and not defend her honor?"

How can someone be a "good and honest person, the sweetest and most caring woman one could ever hope to meet" when they are sleeping with a married man when his wife has cancer.

IMHO, she is as much a piece of trash as John Edwards is.

Meanwhile, the editor of the Enquirer, which broke the story of the affair and Hunter's pregnancy, took issue with Edwards's statement distancing himself from photos purporting to be him holding Hunter's baby. Edwards admitted to ABC that he met secretly with Hunter at the Beverly Hilton to try to "keep this from becoming public."

Last week, the Enquirer published a blurry photo of a man who looks like Edwards holding a baby. The tabloid said the photo was taken at the hotel.

Edwards denies the photo is genuine.

Yeah...right!!! As I have said before, they both are a couple of MOOKS!!!

"I don't know if that picture is me. It could well be. It looks like me. I don't know who that baby is. I have no idea what the picture is." - John Edwards
