John Edwards' daughter left the courtroom in tears Wednesday as a former aide testified about an argument Edwards had with his now-deceased wife, Elizabeth, on the day a tabloid published a story on his affair.
Edwards turned to his daughter, Cate, as witness Christina Reynolds was beginning the account of the argument at the Raleigh airport. As Edwards asked if his daughter wanted to leave, Cate walked out of the room wiping her tears. She later returned to court after a recess.

The only folks more trashy then the Edwards’ are the lying covering up MSM. As we used to say where I grew up, the only thing more despicable then a SOB was a lying SOB!
>The sainted wife was apparently a real piece of work - based on other anecdotal stories.
A special place in hell awaits that soulless bastard.
Hope you’re happy with that trail of anguish you’ve left, John.
You left out “Slimy” ;-)
Yeesh. You're right. Hard to have sympathy for anyone in this power-mad, back-stabbing, arrogant family. Elizabeth became sympathetic as the wife dying of cancer because she was cheated on, but before she took on that role, she was a real nasty piece of work -- a typical power-hungry politician's wife.
I suspect (from anecdotal readings) that Elizabeth would have been better served by exhibiting less bark and more wag. If she knew that Mr. Breck Girl was a real scumbag and didn't like it, she should'a left rather than trying to help him get control of the levers of power.
Cold as it sounds, she's probably right - one does not have to put friends on the payroll to keep them around.
It’s been reported that she wasn’t easy to live with. Even so, she was an asset to her husband’s campaign. Then, to top that off with cancer. The lady, mother, and wife, was dying of cancer, and her husband ignored her in favor of a romp in the hay with Hunter. A real man would put his **** in his pocket, and allow his wife’s last days be in peace, particularly since she put her illness in the background to help him. Whatever temperament she had, she loved the sob, and he sullied her, knowing she was dying. Even if she were healthy, the pain of betrayal is everlasting.
John Edwards is an absolute slimeball, but I do feel sorry for his daughter. She had nothing to do with any of this.
“Friends” has some not so subtle nuances of meaning, especially when spoken in public by a slick politician. Pointing out that they are in fact Staff doesn’t help with team morale and is not a real bright way to do a private negotiation.
>> A special place in hell awaits that soulless bastard.
Yeah; it’s called the “plaintiff’s bar firepit”. Place is HUGE.
“They’re not our friends. They’re our staff.”

I know a fundraiser for the real estate industry that knew Edward’s senatorial staff. His senate staff said Elizabeth Edwards was down right nuts and extremely mean to the little people.
Not trying to pile on a woman who died of cancer...but that was the story way before he ran for president.
He would have made a better president than Obama.
He would have been more dangerous than Obama, Obama is mostly incompetent.
A pointy stick would have made a better president than Obama.
If I were his daughter and witnessed what he did to my mother and his denial of my half sister, I would have no other choice but to say, “You are on your own, Pop” and then go to pay my respects to my mother’s grave, knowing that his mere breathing hastened her tortured death. I am certainly no fan of Elizabeth Edwards but every daughter needs her mother.
He is the face of the democrat party. ‘Nuff said.
