John Edwards has issued a statement confirming our suspicions for the last two years: He da baby daddy!

The National Enquirer put John Edwards on blast for having an extramarital affair with his employee Rielle Hunter. The shocking “scandal” has been political career suicide for Johnny. Still, the former Presidential candidate took as long as possible to admit the truth, even after a paternity test had confirmed that he’s the father of Francis Quinn Hunter.

Today Johnny said: “I am Quinn’s father. I will do everything in my power to provide her with the love and support she deserves. I have been able to spend time with her and trust that future efforts to show her the love and affection she deserves can be done privately.”

“It was wrong for me ever to deny she was my daughter and hopefully one day, when she understands, she will forgive me.. .I understand that to all those I have disappointed and hurt, these words will never be enough, but I am truly sorry.”

John can’t say much about his baby mama drama because of an ongoing federal investigation into whether he used campaign money to cover up his affair. John’s attorneys say that he’s been visiting Quinn and providing financial support for about a year. He also just signed a new child support agreement with Rielle.

These horny dudes like Tiger Woods just don’t believe in wearing condoms and women like Rielle are smart b*tches who know they can get knocked up and cash in. Good for her and baby Quinn!

Sorry, Elizabeth Edwards. You deserve much better.
