It's a really slow day for local news, so over on the DCist staff email list, all we're talking about is John Edwards. He's admitted to ABC News that he did have an affair with Rielle Hunter, and defends himself by saying that he didn't love her and that his wife, Elizabeth, was in remission at the time. Because, apparently, it would have been totally inexcusable of him to cheat while his wife was undergoing cancer treatment, but she was totally healthy then, so it's OK! What I can't figure out is why he had to confess to this right now unless there's some proof that he is the father of Hunter's child, even though he claims there's no way he can be.
