Talk about running for the tall grass… now it’s time to follow the money.

Dallas lawyer Fred Baron told The Dallas Morning News today that he paid relocation and housing expenses for the woman that former presidential candidate John Edwards has confessed to having an affair with.

Mr. Baron, who was chairman of Mr. Edwards’ presidential campaign finance committee, said he paid money for Rielle Hunter to move from North Carolina to another location.

Okay, a chairman of a presidential campaign finance committee claims he paid to make the other woman go away. The million dollar question is who’s money did he use?

And we’re going to get no answers tonight. Remember, we’re dealing with a bunch of lawyers here.

He said she and another campaign aide, Andrew Young, who claimed paternity of Ms. Hunter’s child, were being dogged by tabloid reporters who believed she had an affair with Mr. Edwards and fathered the child.

Mr. Baron would not say how much money he provided for the couple’s move. He said Mr. Edwards did not know about the arrangement.

So, we’re to believe (considering one of the parties is a known liar) that Edwards can have an affair resulting in a child he says isn’t his, and a higher up in his presidential campaign would take it upon himself to relocate the woman and child at his own expense without John’s knowledge.

And we’re to believe that John Edwards would visit a woman and child (that wasn’t his) in a hotel room in Beverly Hills; a woman that he told his wife he was no longer seeing. None of this makes sense.

Sorry but if I ever did something like that, no friend of mine would use his own money to ship the woman and (someone else’s child) out of town to protect my political ass. IF… my friend helped, he’d be disgusted and would make me pay for it, especially if I was a multi-millionaire.

This whole thing stinks.
