Rielle Hunter's Love-Bastard's Birth Certificate Lists No Father

A small MSM outlet actually bothers to do a little journalism, and hits a jackpot.

As the Charlotte Observer points out, the child was born two months after Andrew Young (an Edwards confidante) claimed paternity, so why isn't ol' Andrew's name listed there?

Asked Thursday why no father was listed on the birth certificate, Hunter's attorney, Robert Gordon of New York, said, “A lot of women do that.”

Reminded that he and Hunter had publicly revealed the father's identity two months earlier to the National Enquirer, Gordon said, “That's a personal matter between them.”

Gordon declined to comment further.

That's okay. You don't have to comment, Gordo. I think we can all fill in the blanks on our own.

Thanks to CJ.

PS: If the MSM continues its embargo in the face of even this, well, I'll be impressed.

PPS: I just intercepted this secret coded communique from the NYT to the LAT. Can anyone make heads or tails of it?

PPPPS: Here's why, it seems, Reille Hunter did not just write in "Andrew Young:"

With unmarried couples, California State law requires both parents to sign a “Declaration of Paternity” form prior to the father's name being put on the birth certificate. If the father is not present, his name may be added to the birth certificate at a later date after proper forms are obtained from the Department of Vital Records.

Young may have been unwilling to carry the ruse that far (though I'm not sure why he balked here), and Reille wasn't permitted to sign in his stead.
