John and Elizabeth Edwards $53 Million Dollar Divorce
nationalenquirer.com ^ | Oct. 2, 2009

Posted on 10/02/2009 9:59:58 AM PDT by Free ThinkerNY

Elizabeth Edwards has finally had enough - she's threatened to divorce her cheating husband John and claim her share of their $53 million fortune!

The ENQUIRER has learned Elizabeth dropped the divorce bombshell after learning a former campaign aide is claiming Rielle Hunter, the mother of Edwards' love child, isn't the only woman he seduced on the campaign trail!

Furious at his betrayals, Elizabeth - still battling Stage 4 breast cancer - has vowed to destroy her husband of 32 years by disclosing everything she knows about his political career in divorce court, insiders say.

"Elizabeth had always sworn she wouldn't divorce John. But every person has a breaking point, and Elizabeth's friends believe she's reached hers," an insider told The ENQUIRER.

Oh man...now THAT is poetic.

Elizabeth, while I have great empthy for her in her disease struggle, is way more around the bend Left than her husband. And Hell hath no fury...and he will have Hell to pay on this one.

“...isn’t the only woman he seduced on the campaign trail!”

#####

I’ll never understand women.

Why would y’all want to sleep with a wimpy, adulterous, conniving metrosexual, with girl hair.

Yeah, I know about the tons of money he stole from ALL of us, but what would a real woman find attractive about a creature like that.

There are two things that would make it impossible for John Edwards to make any kind of political comeback. One would be marrying the mistress with whom he cheated on his dying wife. The other would be Elizabeth dishing all his dirt. If she does that, she opens the door for him to marry Rielle, either as a divorced man or as a widowed one. I don't think Mrs. Edwards wants Rielle Hunter to be her children's stepmother.

Would serve him right to soon reside in a small room at the local “Y” with a box of Corn Flakes under the bed. Karma, anyone?

Problem is she wants him near the children and since their house is so big, he would have to move an hour away to be out of it.

"Elizabeth knows every dirty little secret in her husband's political past. She's been his confidant for years, and she's always kept quiet. But now she's prepared to reveal all his secrets in open court."

Uh-oh !!

She better be careful that she does not suddenly become "severely depressed" and commit "Arkancide". Either that, or her cancer might take a "sudden and agressive turn", and she might die unexpectedly (but peacefully) in her sleep within the next few weeks. John Edwards being a liberal democrat, I am sure that she realizes that she puts her life in danger by saying such things. I am guessing that she has some sort of a backup plan in place to lower the odds of her having an "unexpected accident".

I’d take his sorry ass to the cleaners and break him financially so his Mistress won’t want what’s left.

She needs to hurry up and write it all down just incase. Stage 4 could take her in months or years and if she wants the story out?

Financially, that’s the best thing she could do. She gets the money is able to put it away for the children before he goes and marries someone else....

I swear this is turning into something similar to Jon & Kate plus 8! I wish people would just get tired of all publicity on this!

First we had Elizabeth Edward’s martyrdom book and now the campaign guy’s? TMI, totally TMI

(Sniff) P - p - POOR John.

He apparently slept through that English lit class when they discussed Congreve and “Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.”

Bet he stays awake in court during the divorce trial.

Couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy.

I wouldn’t wish that monstrosity on my worst enemy. Can you imagine the cost to maintain that thing is? Cleaning it? What about the “carbon footprint?” Remember how Elizabeth Edwards said she would do her part to combat Global Warming by not eating (shipped from Florida) tangerines?

There is nothing he can do that would make it possible for a political comeback, especially if he is found guilty on the charges of misusing taxpayer/campaign funds, the money given to Reille and the aide who claimed the child was his under orders of Edwards.
