Elizabeth Edwards Learned Of John's Affair 'Slowly,' Stayed For The Kids
NY Daily News ^ | 08/13/08 | Michael Saul

John Edwards did not confess his adulterous affair to his cancer-stricken wife, Elizabeth, until after he officially launched his presidential campaign in December 2006, a new report in People magazine revealed.

"He told the truth slowly," one source close to the couple told the magazine.

The National Enquirer reported last night that Edwards lied when he told the nation -- and Elizabeth -- that he ended the affair in 2006. The Enquirer reported that Edwards and Hunter were sexually involved when Hunter's daughter was conceived.

Pigeon O'Brien, 42, a friend of Hunter's, told People magazine that the affair didn't end when John Edwards said it did.

"They broke up a bunch of times, especially when Elizabeth was rediagnosed," she said. "But they got back together."

I'll bet Elizabeth insisted this be on the record so that she was not complicite in allowing him to run for president wile he was having an affair.

Can't wait til someone follows the money trail.

And if he'd gotten the nomination she would've stayed for the sake of the nation. And she apparently stayed for Edwards to be eligible to receive the Father of the Year award in 2007.

I think that is her nickname. Her website is registered under the name “Virginia O’Brien”.

She’s the friend who said that Rielle is pronounced “Ree-ELLE”.

“Slowly” = tried to lie his way through it.

In fairness to John, he was being 99 percent honest.

>>>How does one “slowly learn”?<<<

My only thought is it takes a slow mind!

Or maybe being in denial that she married such a TwoFaced ["TwoAmericas"} slimeball.

You tell them 25% of the truth ... then 28% of the truth ... then 40% of the truth. Until you get up to 99%.

I remember Mike McCurrey, white house spokesman for clinton, using that same phrase in conjouring Bill's lies....day after day...telling the truth slowly..my rear end.

Don’t believe this for a minute. She knew before he decided to run but went along with the big lie.

The old “just a good friend” line? And she buys into that?

Guess I don’t get the “slowly” thing-Does he start the story and just give her bits per day? Or does he tell one perverted thing they did one day and then another thing they did another day.....What a stupid thing to say he told her slowly!
