This is why you don't piss off the guy you're paying to pretend to be your mistress's babydaddy.

The New York Daily News is reporting that former John Edwards aide Andrew Young is shopping a book proposal, and sources who've seen it say that Edwards may soon join Paris Hilton and Tommy Lee in the ranks of accidental porn stars:

"Former Edwards aide Andrew Young says the ex-senator and his former mistress, Rielle Hunter, once made a sex tape, according to someone who has seen Young's book proposal.

... Young discovered a videocassette, according to the book pitch. Hunter had been hired by the Edwards campaign to videotape the candidate's movements, but this one is said to have shown him taking positions that weren't on his official platform."

Normally, I wouldn't pay any attention to a gossip item like this, but since every rumor about Edwards seems to turn out to be true, I'm listening. Maybe these were the videography services that Edwards' campaign was paying Hunter for.

Still, there's another part of the Daily News report that threatens to push Young past Edwards in the villainy department, if it's true. According to the report, Elizabeth Edwards suspects Young of stealing her late son's baseball card collection. That violates so many principles of manhood, I can't even count them.

As for Edwards, I only hope that his girlfriend was at least a better videographer than Rick Salomon, and that they remembered to turn the TV down.
