Hell has no fury like a woman scorned.
John Edwards can now look forward to a living hell until he dies. While his wife of 30+ years supported his two failed presidential runs, birthed his 4 children, went on his endless campaign trails, grieved their beloved sons death; John had an affair with a skank who gave birth to his daughter and then lied about it to everybody. While his wife was fighting cancer.
Yuck.
She had no choice but to divorce his ass while dying of cancer and raising their two youngest children. It sucks to be her. Though she's not totally off the hook. She married and partnered with this narcissist and either was blinded by love or enabled his self-absorption. John went so far as to have his best friend lie and say HE was the father of the skanks little girl. For a year. Despite all the evidence to the contrary. And of course the mainstream media, who is just a transcription agency, dutifully recorded that: "John Edwards is not the father of Rielle Hunters baby," while the National Enquirer actually researched and proved that he indeed was the lying, adulter, cowardly presidential candidate who many, many Americans wanted as President. Yay for actual journalism.
God bless him.
And while there are always those who bleet that "your private life has nothing to do with the rest of your life" that is just...bizare. We are our private life. If he became president, it would be Clinton redux. If he so brazenly lies to his wife with whom he has the most intimate of relationships, he'd have no compunction about lying to the American people. Heh. He doesn't even know us. What's the big deal?
Elizabeth even put off her mammogram and her breast lump because Gosh! she was so busy campaigning for her husband. That might be a little bit of a regret just about now.
So Elizabeth. I'm sorry it had to end this way. I'm sure you never planned your life to end up divorced, watching your husband's lovers child grow up in the media, trying to figure out who would raise your children when you die. Godspeed.

I imagine that Elizabeth Edwards will pass away before the end of the year. I am so sorry for her children.
But all she deserves , really, is compassion.~r
Calling anyone a skank is really in poor taste, in my humble opinion. There is enough hate to go around without feeding it. What this woman needs now is some *peace*.
I usually refrain from commenting on most of your posts as it’s just best all around. This one puzzles me.
Elizabeth Edwards is still alive and so the title is tasteless. The post itself seems to be about how much you do not approve of John Edwards. Elizabeth is not John.
How about a little compassion in a final and very emotional time for this family? And you’ll probably not believe this; but, John has moved back into the home for now and is taking care of Elizabeth and the kids as best he can. He has his issues for sure, and he too is only human – whatever that means to you.
I trust that people will be more forgiving and compassionate when it’s your time.
