'Get a Doctor to Fake the DNA Results'

Good grief, the depravity of this man is just off the charts. To think the media enabled this behavior for years, proving they have as much credibility as he does.

A flunky for philandering former Sen. John Edwards says the failed presidential candidate ordered him to arrange a fake paternity test.

Andrew Young's claim came as Edwards, who has repeatedly denied fathering a daughter with his mistress, finally admitted he lied.

Edwards' lie was exposed as NBC News reported that he and his cancer-stricken wife, Elizabeth, had separated.

Seems the Edwards admission is nothing more than a pre-emptive strike of sorts.

Edward's admission came a week before ABC News' "20/20" was to air an exclusive interview with Young, who at one point in the scandal tried to take the fall for his boss by claiming he was Quinn's daddy. He later admitted that too was a lie.

Young told ABC News' Bob Woodruff that Edwards was desperate to distance himself from Quinn.

"Get a doctor to fake the DNA results," Young said Edwards told him. "And he asked me ... to steal a diaper from the baby so he could secretly do a DNA test to find out if this indeed his child."

You know what would be nice? For Edwards to spend a little time behind bars.

A former senator from North Carolina and fallen Democratic Party star, Edwards still faces a federal grand jury investigation into whether he used campaign money to buy Hunter's silence. He has denied raiding campaign coffers to shut his honey up.
