John and Elizabeth Edwards Getting Divorced?
Politics Daily ^ | October 1, 2009 | Emily Miller

Elizabeth Edwards is threatening to divorce her husband, John, after learning of allegations he had committed adultery with more than one woman, the National Enquirer is reporting.

According to the Enquirer, the allegations are in a book proposal by former Edwards aide Andrew Young in which he says he falsely claimed to have fathered Rielle Hunter's 19-month-old daughter, Frances.

Edwards had an affair with Hunter during the 2008 presidential campaign. According to The New York Times and other reports quoting sources, Edwards is considering declaring he's the little girl's father, which he has previously denied.

"Elizabeth was read portions of Young's book proposal, and she flipped out," a source told the Enquirer. "What really pushed her over the edge is Young's allegation that John had other affairs with women on the campaign trail. Elizabeth basically told John that if she found out that was true, she'd have to divorce him because then he'd be a 'serial cheater.'"

The Enquirer has another source that says John Edwards is denying the allegations, telling his wife, "Young's book is a pack of lies."

The paper reports that Elizabeth Edwards' divorce threats include taking half of their joint $53 million worth and going public with political secrets in open divorce court.

"Elizabeth knows every dirty little secret in her husband's political past. She's been his confidant for years, and she's always kept quiet. But now she's prepared to reveal all his secrets in open court," a source told the Enquirer.

Elizabeth Edwards has stage four metastatic cancer, which her husband said was in remission when he had an affair with Hunter.

LOL at Rielle who probably thought she was the only one John was fooling around with.

This one goes in my circular file.

I could care less what the ambulance chasing Breck Girl does or who he does it with. I don't care whether he gets divorced or not. He is a major league scum bag and not on my GIVEADAMN list.

Nothing he’s done until now was worth divorce court? Is she serious? I think the only one who didn’t know this already is Rielle, and she can’t get half of $53 mil, stupid woman. We really need to find some people to run for public office who can stay off the pages of the National Enquirer. What a bunch of pathetic human beings these people are.

In the olden days, Reille Hunter would have been approached by Playboy Magazine for a major spread when her 20 seconds in the limelite had faded. I’m reminded of the incredibly ugly “church secretary” that brought down “Reverend” Jim Baker about 20 years ago.

THE DLS is that the press has known about this all along. As long as Edwards was a player, he was safe. Does the SRM hold to the same standards for Republicans and why not?

People better start realizing that marriage is ordained by God, and they better start taking it seriously. You’re not some kind of cultured monkey or ape, no matter what any nitwit wants to tell you. You are made in his image and you carry his breath of life. That makes you a moral person, and you are responsible directly to him, not something some scientist tells you. When you disrespect your marriage, you disrespect God. You don’t mess around on your or your husband. Period.

“Most dems I know are a bunch of sluts.”

A jilted group no doubt who will ride every c**k they can find. Most appear to be the type who believe shaving underarms and legs is optional. They hate conservatives because they hate moral absolutes and being made to feel guilty for their promiscuous lifestyles. They hate life because every man they find to agree with them morally/politically wants to sleep with other men.

Elizabeth Edwards won't get a "cancer victim" pass from me. She is one angry wack job.

She has been going on chat rooms and masquerading as a black woman, and then trashing the woman who was having an affair with her husband.

For months now, Elizabeth, who is said to be talking to a divorce lawyer, also has been sniping at Hunter - painting her as a blackmailing gold digger - in blog comments where she uses the pseudonym "Cherubim," according to a source who knows Elizabeth. Though "Cherubim" has recently described herself as an African-American woman, the source insists, "It's Elizabeth. She's used 'cherubim' as a password. Look at the gravestone of their son Wade: It's an angel holding a boy." Her husband, on the other hand, is a skunk liar who came very close to being President because the MSM covered his a$$.

A pox on all of them.

Moreover, there is no way that ambulance chaser and his vindictive wife deserve any of the wealth they have.

They didn't earn a penny of it. They stole it from doctors, nurses, and health care workers that they sued into to oblivion.

I am no supporter of Elizabeth Edwards, but marvel at how miserable her life seems, at least from the public info about her.

Not so long ago she was a millionaire who may have ended up a First Lady.

Now she has stage 4 cancer and a putrid husband whose personal indiscretions that will affect his and her children drips out into the public like drops in a Chinese water torture machine.

Her personal life, like her cancer, just continues to get worse.Just proves how life can change quickly.

I admire your defense of Elizabeth Edwards.

I, on the other hand, have no sympathy for her or her husband. They made millions off of the suffering of others, drove medical expenses throught the roof, lied, cheated, etc. All for their vanity and quest for power. She was in on it with him. Along for the ride if not a defense.

If this was a Republican, the MSM would do a 24/7 hit job. But it was these disgusting liberals, so its hands off.

Who will State Media tar & featehr, John Edwards or the book writing snitch Andrew Young?

Same with David Letterman's admitted affairs, the bad blackmailing producer will get the scorn, not the lying, cheating latenight talker.
