A candidate whose aides were prepared to block him from becoming president. A wife whose virtuous image was a mirage. A mistress with a video camera. In an excerpt from the new book Game Change—their sweeping account of the 2008 campaign—the authors reveal that, inside the Edwards triangle, nothing was too crazy to be true.

PING!
(LONG read.)
St. Elizabeth (snort)
“At the terminal, the couple fought in the passenger waiting area. They fought outside in the parking lot. Elizabeth was sobbing, out of control, incoherent. As their aides tried to avert their eyes, she tore off her blouse, exposing herself. “Look at me!” she wailed at John and then staggered, nearly falling to the ground.”
PING!
No sympathy for her about her hubby. She knew what kind of guy he was all along. She just wasn’t expecting him to screw her figuratively like she saw him do to so many others for decades. Had no problem sticking with him while he stabbed others in the back all that time.
OMG - there’s 10 pages!
I’ll be back to comment...lol.
Telling that she found him a “hick” and his parents rednecks. Stafffers thought of him as “well, sorta asexual.”
Can’t wait to read the 0bama sequel. /s
Hardly.
No actual surprises about either one of them, just confirmation that they were both blindly ambitious and thought nothing about using her cancer to advance his political career. They’re both mentally sick, much like Hillary and Bill.
Rielle picked him off with EASE!!!!
Still LOL at the junior high school tactics!
Proving once again, money can’t buy class ... nor, apparently, a nano-increment of common sense.
Hmm, I wonder how much of the stuff about her is true. If she berated him and demeaned him, even in public, it’s no surprise he looked up somewhere else. That she was so dismissive of the baby in that interview she gave was very telling.
A limp-wristed, narcissist with a shrew wife.
Sounds like a prerequisite for a Rat candidate.
“The love me ... looooooooooooove me.”
That cracked me up ... desperate and GUILTY!
(Important to not overlook Daschle as the go-to guy.)
We can’t overlook Daschle! Not with the rumors about Rahm’s departure.
Gee. We missed out on so much. Like Liz said, the country needs him. Just like Michelle...we’ll only have one chance to have Barak. Losers; just SO full of themselves.
They are each the center of the universe.
Leftists, they never change.
