'He Was Very Real and Authentic'

In addition to being the mother of John Edwards' love child, this bimbo Rielle Hunter (real name Lisa Druck) is apparently quite stupid.

John Edwards' mistress, Rielle Hunter, called the former Democratic presidential hopeful an "inspiration" in a 2007 interview.

"He was very real and authentic," Hunter, a filmmaker, told Extra. "He was an inspiration to me.

"One of the great things about John Edwards is that he's so open and willing to try new things and do things in new ways," she added.

I bet.

Meanwhile, the hapless Elizabeth Edwards went on one of America's premier hate sites to apologize to the morons who believed in her sleazebag husband.
