SALEM - Less than a month after a sex scandal sent former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards in to political exile, the ex-North Carolina senator and his wife, Elizabeth, have pulled out of a speaking engagement at Salem State College.
The couple had been scheduled to appear as part of the colleges popular Speaker Series on Sept. 23 to discuss the upcoming presidential election and Elizabeth Edwards battle with cancer.

Snort. He’ll have to find an ambulance to chase soon. His two worlds [Figure Eight Island and 100 acres in Chapel Hill] have got to be hurting the cashflow. I don’t think even UNC-CH could dare put him on the payroll. [That would put NC in the Pub column in November.]
10-1...Elizabeth said she wouldn’t go with him. He’s a hypocrit...she’s not.
Elizabeth is hurt, like a normal wife would be. Hillary, on the other hand, was not...
I suspect that Elizabeth did not know about that series of one-night stands in 2006 when she started campaigning with him. I think she probably would have chosen to spare us that guy. His ambition and narcissism is beyond belief. I also think she has to be tired of pretending and play-acting.
Don’t worry. The replacement speakers are Bill and Hillary Clinton speaking on traditional family values.
That should sell a lot of tickets.
Nothing like a sideshow of freaks from the Democratic Party.
At least they have the decency to spare people from their hypocrisy and lies.
Yes, she is. She campaigned on the same platforms knowing full well he was a lying cheat. Shameful.
The dopes who would pay to listen to the both of them would lap up the drivel that they would spew forth.
Side note: Salem State College is in Mass. Plenty of dopes available
John Edwards was involved in a sex scandal? That’s news to the MSM.
Too bad he didn't think about doing so earlier ;-)
(But a pregnant 17 year old gets more MSM time)
Elizabeth is scheduled to speak in Pittsburgh at some women’s conference sponsored by Fast Eddie Rendell’s wife, Midge.
Not sure how that’s going to play out.....
Edwards doesn’t want attention drawn from the smear of Bristol ... IMO.
That sucks! I wanted to hear his “2 America’s” speech.
The guy’s ego and ambition knows no bounds - he feeds off of it. He will find a way to spin his whole affair into a profitable venue for himself (and find enough sheeple to support him on it).
