Elizabeth Edwards reportedly decided to stay with former U.S. Sen. John Edwards because she has terminal cancer.

With more news like this pouring out each day, Silky will be as welcome as Jeffrey Dahmer at any political or speaking function

[Soliton]

He won’t be there anyway now. He’ll be doing the international Clinton thing. He will find out she passed away by email.

This story is just beginning to percolate. I think Johnny’s twist in the wind is in the very early stages right now.

[poobear]

Does this sick innuendo BS need to be posted on FR?

[hershey]

She should have taken the kids and left, then sued the pants off him. But she probably didn’t have the mental/emotional strength to do that and fight terminal cancer at the same time. From by his campaign staff, he’s yelled at her abusively in front of others, etc.. Total loser.

Absolutely!

Blame Edwards not the me.

[inkling]

Bullcrap. Elizabeth was in on the cover-up.

I feel sorry for his wife. Having terminal cancer and your significant other is sleeping around is too much to bear. Talking about kicking someone when they are down. Only a lowlife scumbag would do such a thing.

[Orange1998]

I don't think she had any options giving the situation. One has to give her benefit of the doubt on this one.

[inkling]

Reading her deranged leftist screeds on DailyKos in 2004 changed my opinion of her permanently. Elizabeth wears the pants in that family -- and I believe she wants the White House far more than Silky.

I feel horrible about her medical condition, honestly I do. Nevertheless I believe she's not above milking it for cheap political advantage.

If she were to sue for divorce her slimeball, cheating, lying, arrogant POS husband, and I cringe when I say husband, would tie it up in the courts until she died.

[Berlin_Freeper]

And then after she died he could speak for her in court...

“I wasn’t going to talk about this but she is speaking to me, and is saying forgive and forget...”

Would that be before or after he climbs on the morgue slab and holds her?

[Recovering Hermit]

...she considered a separation. But learning that her breast cancer had recurred "forced her to move forward."

How, exactly, is that moving forward?

[BerryDingle]

IIRC, before the cancer was announced, you couldn't criticize Edwards because his son was killed in a car accident.

[poobear]

I just don’t like to be associated with gossip rags and horrible posts you’ll see at DU and KOS.

We already knew by his BS, smile and rhetoric that he was a complete @ss!

I think she was too. She was his attack dog if I remember correctly and this after she knew he was messing around on her.

[BlueMondaySkipper]

Not to sound crass or anything, but is there any verifiable proof she actually HAS terminal cancer? I would not put it past these low-lifes to make up the story for political gain...
