Young's Revenge

Tina Brown reviews The Politician for the Daily Beast.

"Andrew Young's account of his decade as John Edwards's body man, beard, and shit-eating courtier is a mesmerizing insight not only into the rotten nature of his hero but the corruption of the culture that allowed a man as devoid of authenticity as John Edwards to flourish for so long, even to the point of getting a decent shot at the White House... This is not a political memoir. It's a morality tale with the chill of Hitchcock. It'll make a hell of a movie, but I'm not sure I can bear to see it."

Meanwhile, Young told ABC News that he's been offered a "gigantic" amount of money to sell the alleged Edwards sex tape that he now holds in a safe deposit box.
