John Edwards' Low Profile

The Daily Beast reports on John Edwards. Here's an interesting story about the clash between Rielle Hunter and Andrew Young:
Edwards has been bankrolling Hunter’s suit, given that she is an unemployed, stay-at-home mom with some of North Carolina’s most prestigious and expensive lawyers on her legal team.

Among Hunter’s demands: That Young give up all profits from both his bestselling book, The Politician, and the movie adaptation—a deal represented by hotshot Hollywood agent Ari Emanuel and in partnership with acclaimed screenwriter Aaron Sorkin and producer Scott Rudin of No Country for Old Men fame. According to a source close to the movie project, Sorkin is writing the script, in anticipation of production deal in the near future.
