I'll say this about Mrs. E - it's probably pretty darn hard to lose that weight after you give birth at 50!!!

...their Jeep veered and rolled over, apparently shoved by a gust of wind...

I wonder if Edwards was more upset about his son or that he couldn't sue the wind.

That's not fair. Have you ever lost a child?

In my opinion, too.

People how have lost a child can see this for what it is.

I noticed Edwards didn't sue himself for being negligent and enabling the crash. That's, because Mr Edwards is a leach and parasites can't feed very well off themselves.

You're showing your ignorance.

apparently shoved by a gust of wind for which Wade overcorrected.

It seems like the over-correction is agreed by all. That is negligent. Allowing a 16 year old boy to drive out of town without an adult in the car could be construed by some clever lawyer to be negligent.

I am pretty sure that if my son is driving in a single car accident and another boy is injured or killed, my insurance company will be offering a settlement.

My point is that accidents happen. John Edwards became a millionaire by cashing in on other people's accidents. None of those doctors meant for a baby to be born with problems. It happens sometimes. It is very sad. But John Edwards is part of a large and powerful group who want to make people pay damages, even when it was an accident.

"When the jury came back with the $23 million verdict"

How much did Edwards get?

Yes, but with their money she could go to a clinic in Zurich and fix her problem. She just looks sloppy and not-ready-for-primetime, IMHO.

"What about a REALLY important issue, such as the tubbiness of Mrs. Edwards? Makeover!"

An Englishman on the John Batchelor radio show mentioned that she was very matronly looking for such a young looking husband. (I believe she is older than he is).

Are there any available pictures of her?

Maybe Elizabeth Edwards is going to hide behind her pretty husband and cute little children during the campaign (she's the one in the yellow jacket):

You know I am a court reporter; and you know that I work personal injury cases; and you know I, too, have lost my son.

When I read this article about him reading that newspaper article, I almost puked. Certainly I speak out about carbon monoxide detectors but in my wildest dreams I could NEVER imagine this type of crashness.

He is beyond despicable.

Well, speaking as a tubby person myself, we shouldn't go there......LOL.

But I will tell you this: she has had a makeover.

Oh, yeah! I've been there.

You get up outta' the Tidewater and they use MOUNTAIN SOUTHERN, and it's not all that different than what's spoken in Eastern Kentucky and West Virginia.

Hey, thinking of things past (which has that "t" suffix that upset you so), we took a trip through Tobacco Road when I was a kid before they jacked the area up and moved some modern stuff onto site in what has to be one of the major rehabilitation efforts of the Twentieth Century.

I am not good with linking, but go to today's thread KERRYTRACK and see Elizabeth Edwards on the left in the picture in post #41. Yikes, she's bursting at the seams!

30 percent, at a minimum. Plus expenses.

And, no, he did NOT give it to the family. He took it and bought himself a big old beach house on a private island.

At some point, Edwards would be tap-dancing on his son's grave. I agree with you: initially, it's fine to mention, but as soon as he turns it into a standard campaign prop, he's crossed the line into creepy.
