Elizabeth Edwards got her revenge on John Edwards before she died

PT Barnum said it,, there’s a sucker born every minute. I call BS on this article.

[Red Dog #1]

Call me cynical, but what do you think the chances are this story is part of some gambit to rehabilitate his image?

BTW, how much would you like to bet he already has another girl friend?

[poindexter]

That’s harsh. I’ve sometimes wondered if I would unleash some harsh truths on my deathbed. I don’t think I would.

He’s a shallow person so he’s already over any guilt.

He outlived her so he won in the revenge game.

[presidio9]

Exactly right. The ambulance chaser was in no hurry to get a divorce from a dying wife. Any money he got in the will was tax free.

[ReverendJames]

It was against her adulterous husband not against God. Hopefully God will visit some karma on Edwards.

[Logic n' Reason]

Well....as long as it's the "examiner" reporting this, than it can be taken as gospel.

The only other rag......er......trusted news source that could be believed to carry such an obviously true news piece would be The National Enquirer.

A source close to the Edwards family reported that when it finally dawned on John that the end was near for Elizabeth, and that she would never forgive him, he collapsed.

Of course he collapsed, just thinking of all the money he'd be out.

It’s too bad she didn’t either forgive him or ignore him. Dying full of anger and hatred hurt only her, not him.

Yep...don't p!ss off the ticket agent when you're trying to get a seat on the plane.

As much as I pray for her redemption, I am afraid she was the angry beatch to the very end.

[Truth is a Weapon]

What a pissy, poorly written article. She is trying to move our sympathy from the dying woman to her scumbag husband. What is with using the word “remorse” in referring to what Elizabeth won’t do? Remorse is not the right word.

It was within Elizabeth’s power to extend grace and forgiveness. As a Christian I believe she would have been obedient to extend forgiveness. It would have helped her reach a better state of peace in this life. But John had no right to expect or demand forgiveness. Grace is not grace if it is owed.

This story moves me to be sad for Elizabeth. John’s pain does not move me in the least.

[Cyman]

I admire her restraint.

[OldNavyVet]

I agree with Elizabeth Edwards ... Infidelity is the greatest of all sins.

[Baynative]

I can't quite swallow this story. John Edwards has no conscience. Him collapsing, or even crying is hard for me to envision.

I could see him excusing himself from her bedside to make sure his hair was perfect in case photographers were in the hallway, though.

[ReneeLynn]

He’d be just the sort of weasel to try to spin his wife’s dying into his own personal pity party. Can he just go away now, please?

[FormerACLUmember]

The Regime Media has always painted this evil pair of lawyers as saints: both horrible, horrible people who deserved each other.

John Edwards is also responsible for destroying the reputations and financially ruining how many doctors? ‘Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord’ but old John Boy's payback has begun.

agreed ... some homosapiens simply don’t have a conscience ...
