A Hole in the Boat

It looks like the prosecutors put a pretty big hole in Edwards’ boat last Thursday: For months Edwards has been arguing the million dollars he took from ‘Bunny’ Mellon and Fred Baron wasn’t a campaign donation because he spent the money to hide his affair from his wife and not voters.
 
But Thursday two Edwards aides testified a furious Elizabeth Edwards confronted her husband about his affair with Rielle Hunter on October 7th, 2007. The problem: After that, Edwards took hundreds of thousands of dollars from Mellon and Baron – and he clearly wasn’t hiding his affair from Elizabeth.
