John Edwards Confirms 2nd Tabloid Report

Former Democrat presidential candidate and former leading vice-presidential candidate John Edwards, just days after confirming a National Enquirer story about an adulterous affair with amateur filmmaker Rielle Hunter, today acknowledged the truth of another supermarket tabloid report.

In an exclusive interview with ABC News, Mr. Edwards confessed that stories and photos in the Weekly World News were accurate, despite his previous denials.

“I have, in fact, met on more than one occasion with a large-headed alien from another planet,” said Mr. Edwards. “The pictures in the Weekly World News are real.”

Mr. Edwards, who had harbored hopes of being Barack Obama’s running mate, denied allegations that he has “fathered an alien love child,” but said the extraterrestrial emissary was “quite supportive of my White House bid.”

“I’m willing to undergo a paternity test if we can secure a DNA sample from the alien…if, indeed, they have DNA,” he added.

Although the former North Carolina senator took responsibility for his secret encounters, he also indicated that there was little he could do to prevent what happened.

“As anyone who has ever walked through a supermarket checkout knows,” he said, “This is all playing out just as Nostradamus predicted it would. I could no more resist fulfilling the prophesy than I could rebuff the advances of that woman, Ms. Hunter.”
