I think Gawker hit the nail on the head with their recent article concerning John Edwards, his tryst with Rielle Hunter and their subsequent love child.

Gawker:

Prediction: Edwards admits to having made a terrible mistake in a moment of weakness last year, but assures everyone he was only visiting Hunter again because of the child, and out of a sense of duty and obligation. His name isn’t mentioned in a political context for another eight years, when he launches a third-party presidential campaign with running mate Gary Hart, on the strength of their joint reality show.

Joint reality show? Nice work. My question: How come Democratic Presidential hopefuls are so terrible at keeping their affairs secret?
