The man known as John Edward's former aide and scapegoat is now looking to turn his story into a movie. "The Politican" author Andrew Young has enlisted the help of Hollywood agent Ari Emanuel to secure a deal for the film rights to his book, WRAL news is reporting. The North Carolina news station said that Emanuel is the younger brother of Rahm Emanuel, the White House Chief of Staff who also represents some big names in the film industry. His clients include actor Mark Wahlberg and director Martin Scorsese. (WRAL news)
There's no word on whether or not this idea will really come to fruition, although judging from Andrew Young's appearances we are guessing he's all for it. The story would make for a really good movie. For anyone who is not aware, Young was an aide to Edwards during his presidential campaigns in 2004 and 2008. During this time he and his wife were co-erced into covering up Edwards' affair and love child with Rielle Hunter by having Andrew pose as the father. The couple were also asked to allow a pregnant Hunter to live with them, a request that they obliged so Young could keep his job. The whole story, according to Andrew Young and his wife, is detailed in his book "The Politician."
Edwards is a low down dirty sleaze!! Anything else that would further reveal how awful he was/is couldn't be a shock at this point!
... but thumbs up to the movie!
