Babydaddy John Edwards Self-Obsessed, Liar and Creep? Former Aide Tells All in Book

John Edwards

Former aide, sometimes flunky, all-around fall guy Andrew Young has busted loose a tell-all book about John Edwards, the politico who fell from grace and is now disgraced.

Young, sharpened his teeth and revealed juicy tidbits about his former boss that even gossip rag National Enquirer had not gotten hold of. According to the book ("The Politician"), "Love Lips"--the nickname that campaign videographer Rielle Hunter (Edward's babymomma, pictured below with baby Quinn) gave him--slept with his mistress in the ex-Senator's marital bed while his wife Elizabeth was away.

He even made a sex tape with Young.

After Edwards got Hunter pregnant, it is said that he wanted his young mistress to abort the unborn child. Edwards could "barely keep it under control," when he confided to Young that he thought, Hunter was a "crazy slut" and questioned the paternity of her baby. Edwards even enlisted Young to confront Hunter about having an abortion. Young claims that she refused to end the pregnancy, because the baby is the reincarnated spirit of a Buddhist monk who would rescue the world.

Eventually Edwards asked Young to publicly claim that he was the father of Hunter's baby. Instilled with a kind of cultish loyalty, Young did as he was told. After Hunter had the baby, Edwards pleaded with Young and his wife, Cherie, to steal one of the child's soiled diapers and get a DNA test. Young drew the line and refused.

The book also tells about an Atkins-obsessed Edwards who abhorred making state fairs appearances. Young alleges that Edwards looked down upon the folks at these kinds of gatherings and viewed them as "fat rednecks who try to shove food down my face. I know I'm the people's senator, but do I have to hang out with them?"

Young also refers to the dapper ex-presidential candidate as self-obsessed. Young tells of a time when Edwards had to speak before a SEIU candidate forum in Las Vegas. According to Young, Edwards made him cut out a "made in the USA" label from Young's own suit to sew in place of Edwards's "made in Italy" label.

Edwards was also way too much in to his hair. He would prefer to pay out of his own pocket for exorbitantly priced haircuts that cost $400 a pop, rather than list them as campaign expenses.

Recently, Edwards finally came clean and admitted to being the father of Hunter's 22-month-old love child.

After all of the cheap shenanigans, lies and cover-ups, Young thought that Edwards would always have his back. The conniving duo clashed back in 2007, when Edwards turned on his long-time confidant. Young sums up the twisted relationship that he shared with Edwards by merely stating, "I was fu_ _ed!"
