But some in the commentariat have had enough. Maureen Dowd called Edwards out for dragging her husband "back into the public square for a flogging" over his affair with a one-time campaign videographer. Writer Rebecca Traister at Salon.com called the political wife's book tour "one of the most sadomasochistic publicity jaunts in political history."

And I'm certain that these two liberal women writers would be just as chastizing of Elizabeth Edwards if her husband was a Republican. NOT.

“The only part of the Oprah interview that sticks with me is where Elizabeth Edwards repeatedly refers to her human baby stepdaughter as an "it"“”

Sorry, but that illegitimate child is an "it"“it”. It has No legal status as far as Elizabeth is concerned. In Arkansas, they would call that child a “Woods Colt”, meaning that the child could be the child of any horse in the woods, any horse running loose.
