Things getting sticky on Late-Night Hotel Encounter Between John Edwards and Woman

A Beverly Hills hotel security guard told FOXNews.com he intervened this week between a man he identified as former Sen. John Edwards and tabloid reporters who chased down the former presidential hopeful after what they’re calling a rendezvous with his mistress and love child.

The Beverly Hilton Hotel guard said he encountered a shaken and ashen-faced Edwards — whom he did not immediately recognize — in a hotel men’s room early Tuesday morning in a literal tug-of-war with reporters on the other side of the door.

“What are they saying about me?” the guard said Edwards asked.

“His face just went totally white,” the guard said, when Edwards was told the reporters were shouting out questions about Edwards and Rielle Hunter, a woman the National Enquirer says is the mother of his child.

The guard said he escorted Edwards, who was not a registered guest at the hotel, out of the building after 2 a.m. Edwards did not say anything while he was escorted out, said the guard, adding that at times the reporters on the scene were “rough on him,” sticking a camera in his face and shouting questions.

NATIONAL ENQUIRER reporters Alan Butterfield and Alexander Hitchen filed a criminal complaint with the Beverly Hills Police Department on Thursday, July 24, charging that hotel security acted unlawfully while the reporters were trying to question the former senator.

Edwards now could be contacted by police to give an eyewitness account of what occurred.

Hotel security tried to stop the reporters from questioning Edwards in the basement of the hotel at approximately 2:40 a.m. Tuesday, July 22 after Edwards came off an elevator and appeared to be attempting to leave the hotel unseen.

Tautologists for Obama

In propositional logic, a tautology (from the Greek word ??????????) is a propositional formula that is true under any possible valuation (also called a truth assignment or an interpretation) of its propositional variables.

CO Senate debate: careful who you start hating on for supporting the war in Iraq

The uncomfortable looking man to the viewers right is Mark Udall. This scene played out in Colorado’s U.S. Senate debate when Republican candidate Bob Schaffer illustrated what his campaign is calling “a key ‘Udall U-turn'” in dramatic style.

The moderator asks the tired (and what should be considered an extremely obnoxious question by all at this stage of the national debate) “why are we in Iraq” question to Schaffer and his reply of reading a resolution word for word not only reminds people of what a canard the “reasons keep changing” line has always been, but the surprise twist to it points out the guilt that the overwhelming majority of House Democrats share on the issue. Ouch.

Schaffer faces an uphill battle however, in a state that is increasingly trending Democrat.
