Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

Report: DNA Test Proves Edwards Fathered Videographer's Daughter

A secret DNA test proves former presidential candidate John Edwards is the father of his former lover Rielle Hunter's baby, the National Enquirer reported Wednesday

(Fox News) - A secret DNA test proves former presidential candidate John Edwards is the father of his former campaign aide's baby, the National Enquirer reported Wednesday.

The Enquirer, which last year broke the story of Edwards' affair with campaign videographer Rielle Hunter, said the test was taken after Hunter tried to get financial help from Edwards for her 18-month-old daughter, Frances.

Hunter apparently agreed to testify to a federal grand jury investigating whether Edwards broke campaign finance law by paying "hush" money to Hunter and another aide who claimed paternity of the child. Hunter was spotted last week in Raleigh, N.C., entering a federal courthouse, where she spent nine hours.
