The wife of Democratic vice presidential candidate John Edwards said Monday that Republican criticism of Sen. John Kerry for mentioning Mary Cheney's sexual orientation was a distraction from more pressing issues.
Campaigning in Denver, Elizabeth Edwards also argued that President Bush has tried to politicize the issue of gay rights in pressing for a constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage.
``I believe the president has tried to use the constitutional amendment as a wedge issue, instead of addressing things like health care or real reform and attention to our veterans' issues,'' Edwards said.
Mrs. Edwards also said she was upset with the GOP complaints about Kerry's comments in his debate last week with Bush. Republicans have called Kerry remarks inappropriate, and in an interview with The Associated Press Monday, Bush said the statement was ``over the line.''
``I'm distressed that what it did was distract from what should have been a dialogue over issues that should have been raised during the third debate - domestic policy issues like health care and jobs and education,'' Edwards said.

stuff another burger in her mouth and shut her up. The lady is stupid.
YUP, a distraction from Kerry's voting record...LOL....
MOO MOO. Shut up and eat another Wendy burger Elizabeth.
Edwards' wife arm fat flaps
dig that hole lady, dig, dig
She's a classless, overweight witch.
How would it have been if the president, responding to a healthcare question had said:
"We understand that obesity is a problem in the United States. Senator Edwards understands the problem but he still loves his wife."
Should have added to my first post:
I'm sure the GOP placed that statement (mentioning lesbian Cheney) within the DNC talking points...this is all certainly a Bush mind trick.
Tinfoil hat time.
It's possible this rant from Lizzie Edwards might have had some net positive influence had she NOT OPENED HER BIG MOUTH AND ADDED TO THE KERRY GAFFE, HERSELF!
It's not going to be over until Elizabeth Edwards sings!
Hey Liz.
MOOOOOO!!!!
More proof you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.
She just can't help herself......bring it on Lizzie....you're helping our numbers in the polls go up.....what else you got to say???
I say let her keep flapping her jowls. Not only does she look ridiculous, but folks are comparing her with ladies like Mrs. Bush and Mrs. Cheney - neither of which has ever done any negative campaigning.
She can only look like the 4th runner up at the Homecoming Queen contest - fat, pissed, and teen-aged.
Sun Tzu said: "When you are in a hole...stop digging."
Yes, she would be a real asset as VP wife. I can't wait to hear more from her.
Now that is funny.
Lizzie the Hut strikes again. This behemoth leaves people
that will vote for the President in her extra-wide wake
wherever she goes.
A great complement to the other wacko candidiate wife..
