Heya, I am SO NOT Page Six’s tipster, but thank your commenter for making fifty million people call to tell me I am!!! I have a bead on who that was, but am as in the dark as you.

Yesterday the Newark Star-Ledger tried to talk to Rielle Hunter’s old business partner Mimi Hockman (pictured), as I recommended somebody do almost two weeks ago. They approached Hockman at her home in New Jersey, but she wasn’t too cooperative. Which isn’t surprising at this point.

I’m pretty burnt at the moment, having written over 11,000 13,000 heavily researched, meticulously hyperlinked words about the John Edwards/Rielle Hunter story in the last 2 weeks. (No, it ain’t diggin’ ditches. Anybody can dig ditches!) But the story’s still developing, and our traffic is way up.

If you’re curious about Bob McGovern, the Santa Barbara professional “intuitive” who’s in the middle of the John Edwards/Rielle Hunter scandal, please humor me and take this two-step test: Read this. Pay particular attention to the date on it. Read this. Try to find a link, or any reference whatsoever, to step 1.

If John Edwards thought nobody would be paying attention because he sorta-somewhat-partially confessed on a Friday? Oooof.

Kind of a Major Update to the Following Post: Edwards Admits Sexual Affair; Lied as Presidential Candidate The word about John & Rielle’s Excellent Adventure keeps trickling into what some people insist on calling “the news.” Go get ‘em, well-paid media professionals! According to the New York Observer, Brian Ross at ABC News is looking into the John Edwards/Rielle Hunter story.

In the two weeks since the National Enquirer allegedly caught John Edwards red-handed, most of the press has treated the Rielle Hunter story like it’s coated with anthrax. The newspapers haven’t touched it, except in opinion columns about why the newspapers haven’t touched it.
