It has come down to this. John Edwards, once a viable candidate for president has fallen very far from grace. Now he’s got his former mistress going before a grand jury investigating his campaign finances. Maybe it’s just bad karma to get a $400 haircut during a campaign where you voice concern about poverty.

RALEIGH, N.C. — The former mistress of John Edwards arrived at a federal courthouse in Raleigh where a grand jury was meeting Thursday – an appearance that comes as federal investigators examine the two-time presidential candidate’s finances.
Rielle Hunter walked into the building through a back entrance and holding a young child.
Edwards adamantly denied during his confessional interview with ABC News last summer that he had fathered a child with Hunter, and he welcomed a paternity test. His wife, Elizabeth, has said while promoting her book that she doesn’t know if her husband is the father.
