Take it down a notch. Elizabeth Edwards was an ice cold political operator, a calculating and ruthless attorney with an implacable hatred for the unborn.

While her husband would make anyone's skin crawl, she chose to publicly stand by him and to try to foist his incompetent and supremely blackmailable carcass on our country.

While nothing she could do to her husband could tarnish her at this point, she was far from a "lovely woman."

I agree with your assessment.

Bingo. She was also Hillary's BFF and schemed and destroyed with her for many years - they both shared poisonous hearts full of razor blades. All of this forced weeping for her is absurd. She went out the way she lived - stabbing with knives, from the back.
