The ickiest detail in The New York Times story on John Edwards? Well, according to the paper, a book proposal by former Edwards aide Andrew Young says the one-time senator, one-time Democratic vice presidential candidate once promised Rielle Hunter they would marry on a New York City rooftop with the Dave Matthews Band making a special guest appearance. (While bands love publicity, I can imagine the DMB cringing at this particular association.)
If I knew my husband was making plans with a girlfriend for wedding No. 2 after my death he could cancel any festivities because he would surely be the first one to die; I would kill him!
I've criticized Elizabeth Edwards in the past for writing and touring and telling almost all in a book and on Oprah. But hey, whatever it takes to get you through another day married to John Edwards. You want to open a furniture store in Chapel Hill? Why not? You're a wife, a mother and you're battling cancer with the albatross named John hanging around your neck.
I talked with John Edwards in a Charlotte, N.C., appearance shortly after the Kerry-Edwards ticket came up short in the 2004 presidential election. Elizabeth was undergoing treatment for cancer and he was worried and concerned. Yet even when a recurrence of her illness gave him an out and who knew how much he really needed it in his quest to win the 2008 presidential nomination, he still didn't take it.
A successful politician has to believe he or she is the best person for the job. But John Edwards actually thought he could with the help of complicit friends -- hide a truckload of secrets while pursuing the most public job in the world.
(Was he really trying to rig a paternity test?) Maybe now that everyone knows what pure ambition looks like, a minor-league hypocrite like S.C. Gov. Mark Sanford will stop insisting that God wants him to remain in office.
When adults act like idiots, it's the children who suffer. So, to Edwards' three surviving children with Elizabeth, add a 19-month-old girl who doesn't yet realize what the story is. Right now, she's the lucky one.
Didn't Clinton do (or supposedly do) the same thing?!
Oh Lord!
parsy, who says the best thing is if you wind up single, get a guitar and leave the women alone
Well, it worked for Obama...
Sadly, it did, didn’t it? :(
This little tidbit was reported in the NY Post during the campaign long before it became common knowledge.
Why are we even bringing up Edwards anymore? His credibility is shot, he’s old news. We have bigger fish to fry than this guy. I don’t give a cat’s yack about him anymore!
And yet, you took the bandwidth to post, LOL!
I plan on posting a story about him wherever I find one. He is scum.
And yes, there IS bigger scum and bigger fish to fry, but I want this guy remembered for what he is. An ambulance chasing Democrat LOSER.
But, that’s just me. Carry on! :)
Pray for the little girl.
Perhaps she can overcome the deficient gene pools of her parents and become a fine contributor to society.
Ambulance-chaser and skirt-chaser.
Add failed liberal politician.
Thanks for the reminder of the methods of a POS like Edwards, especially when he is considered v.p. and p. stock for the Democrat Crime Syndicate.
We need constant reminders of him, Spitzer, Blago, etc., etc.,...all the way down to lowlife mayors like Kwame Kilpatrick...as these 'rat members/enablers/crickets-chirping, co-conspirators are not fit to be dog catchers.
Agreed. WHO elects these people? Even the LibTards I know think they’re all scum.

Another Democrat narcissist.
I knew the kid was his when I saw the video of her first steps...chasing an ambulance down the street.
Even though Edwards has reduced himself to complete irrelevancy, I still enjoy any story that kicks him. He’s a scum and deserves all the scorn that can be heaped upon him.
Caligula must be a hero in Washington D.C...
“...he could cancel any festivities because he would surely be the first one to die; I would kill him!”
LOL!
