ABC News' Sunlen Miller Reports: In an interview in August's edition of The Progressive magazine, Elizabeth Edwards, wife of former Senator John Edwards, D-N.C., takes candid shots at the other candidates battling for the Democratic nomination against her husband.
"The problem for me with the other candidates is I don't know what it is that drives them," she explained, "I should think the president has to be somebody who has that kind of vision outside themselves."
Mrs. Edwards praised her husband for apologizing for his vote in favor of the Iraq War, and questioned Senator Hillary Clinton's, D-N.Y., for not doing the same.
"She even, in the New Hampshire debate said, 'I made a mistake.' People are looking for a mea culpa from her. And when she buried a line like that - I give her credit for saying that - but when she buries that line... we're electing a leader of the free world, and just like the votes on this last funding bill, we're looking for a leader," Edwards contended.

I don't think he'd be that crass ~ maybe a couple of days, but not minutes although he is a lawyer and who knows what's going on in that kind of mind.
She is a nasty, stupid woman. I hope she keeps talking. Remember her neighbor, Mr. Johnson? His Bush/Cheney yard sign proved that he is a gun toting, rabid, rabid Republican. And she knew this without ever meeting or speaking with him.
Tuh-raze-uh Heinz-Kerry meets Roseanne Barr by way of Karen Walker (Megan Mullally) from “Will & Grace.”
Edwards is just in this to take votes from Obama to insure a Hillary victory.
I think Edwards is hoping for the A.G. slot in a Hitlary administration as payback for running interference .
Sound plausible ?
You make a good point. Silky has to know that he's going nowhere. Of course, his asskissing will gain him naught. Hillary uses asskissers, she never rewards them. Silky is done. He just doesn't know it. He's dumb, just like his phony sick wife. Watch for a miraculous remission after the primaries. What a pair of bums.
Apparently, nobody in the Edwards campaign has the stones to tell her to shut up. Her girly-man hubbie certainly doesn’t, and she’s probably above criticism by the peons, especially due to the illness.
Sorry, but I don't buy the illness scam. A normal woman suffering from terminal cancer would not leave her her small children in the charge of some daycare nanny in favor of using her claimed limited time to joust with her Silky Pony against the imagined attacks from the rabid, rabid Republicans while countering the failings and shortcomings of their Democrat rivals.
Phony bums, both of them.
Exactly !!!
And, I'm getting darned sick of the Hillaryism, "I was misled on my vote for the Iraq War." Hogwash !!
Exact title of the Iraq War bill is "A Joint Resolution to Authorize the Use of United States Armed Forces Against Iraq.
Hillary and others are idiots or a liars or both.
One thing is Dems have built up minorities and women as holier then thou. When they speak you are to agree with them, and if you disagree you are nearing bigot status.
Edwards would have a hard time going negative on Hillary or Obama, or even Ann Coulter.. he could be seen as a misogynist neo-colonialist white man.
I’m going to be interested to see how this dynamic plays out over the coming years. The Dems have always put minorites on women on an untouchable pedestal, but always at the end of the day ran connected white men.
Absolutely plausible, and I'm glad I'm not the only one who suspected this....the way those two have been cozying up during the debates/primaries/whatever, it looks like they have been cahoots for a long time....they can't hide their relationship.
