How conveeeeeeenient.
Is it the lack of one?
The day has finally arrived: Edwards needs the medical system he viciously tried to destroy through his phony lawsuits. OK all you MDs, step right up - who volunteers to see this termite?
Will his counsel channel the Tin Man to evoke jury sympathy?
John Edwards has a life-threatening heart hair condition.
It’s made of stone.
Don’t die on us now John, though I doubt there is anything really wrong with him, physically.
If I were a doctor, I would not want to treat him out of fear for a malpractice suit...
Amazing how these politicians are allowed to circumvent justice by coming up with a previously unknown medical condition that is life threatening but did not surface until they are headed to court.
You and I would all have to continue with the wheels of justice and be treated by a prison doctor and recover while handcuffed to a gurney.
If, big if, it’s even true, maybe there is divine justice. His wife was a liberal but she was a supportive wife and a loving mother. She didn’t deserve what she got.
Resorting to the old mob boss tactics to delay the inevitable, eh John?
Most heart patients are home in a couple of days anymore, aren’t they?
One week recess, then get his @ss back in the courtroom.
Tell me, John, is that actual dog excrement that occupies the physical space where your heart is supposed to be?
Better he gets this expensive procedure done on his dime!
Yea, the condition is he doesn't have one.
The only malady that would worry this POS would be erectile dysfunction.
I know I am tough on women and Edwards was a weakling of a man, but he got caught in an affair and certainly an un-planned pregnancy.
The rest of the story is of what was seen publically by Elizabeth, as the supportive and sympathetic wife who, of all things, suffered and lived in a terminal condition for which she received undying and sincere sympathy from the public.
Because Edwards was a weakling, there was plenty to be read of evidence that he was emotionally abused, and maybe used, by a demanding, power hungry Elizabeth, both in private and in the presence of others, and who himself finally cracked. If that should be true, he at least has never distorted her better image, as the saintly, harmed wife, but kept her best image entirely intact probably for the sake of the children.
Already destroyed, John Edwards has suffered immeasurably and perhaps as much as Elizabeth, and if he has a conscience, probably more so. What an awful saga, all the way around.
I find it curious that the same conservative website (FR) that poured forth prayers and good wishes for Bill Clinton when he had his heart attack and went under the knife, has thus far, been unable to generate any such sentiments for John Edwards.
Christ said we have to hate the sin, and love the sinner.
So I’m going to pray for him.
If it were me, would it matter.
I can't work!
Why not?
I have a weak back!
How long have you had it?
Oh, about a week back.
