It's much better to avoid put-downs over physical appearance, that is just too juvenile in a serious debate. If they want to talk about their hair and use gutter language and the media lets them get away with it...well, there isn't much we can do about it. But we sure don't need to join in! I have so many over-weight relatives and friends, it often is quite beyond them to lose it too. It is nice he loves her and apparently is faithful all these many years. That one aspect of Edwards I do respect. Not much else!
Listen Bonnie, this board has lambasted Hilary concerning her appearance, including her weight for a long time.
Why the kid gloves standard for Elizabutt? This woman defended nasty Whoopi Goldberg when she compared the President to a pubic area. Do you really think these people are any different than Hilary? The Edwards' have attached themselves to one of the biggest liars around. If it was acceptable to pillory Hilary about her looks, which she has no control over, than I fail to see why we should tiptoe around traitor Elizabeth and her weight.
