John Edwards. Liar,Adulterer,Thief, and Wife Beater

All right, I read this, and while I do think their marriage was long overdue for a divorce, I don't get how it keeps saying he beat her without any detail, then lays out that SHE used to physically assault HIM as well.

There's a certain point in all this where I've stopped feeling any pity for her at all, and I think they are both a pair of douchebags.

It doesn't, though. Once they started getting hit with bona fide libel suits they really started operating on the up and up, at least in a non-libelous manner. They haven't shook their bad reputation (nor I am sure they SHOULD), but they are, for better for worse, an actual source with credibility.

Yet Andrew Young still manages to make this a race for the creepiest guy in this story.

Do you think they killed Vince Foster?

The Enquirer has been right about everything they claimed with the John Edwards scandal so far. They even asked John to comment about the beating charge he refused. Normally John just denies it and lies and then months later when he discovers there is too much proof contradicting his claims,then will admit it. They were also right about the Rush Limbaugh drug scandal,which turned out to be 100% accurate.They are slowly gaining some credibility and that's the irony. A supermarket tabloid is doing what the MSM should be doing and late night comedy news shows are reporting more accurate news stories than the major network news is.

I agree. I do feel some sympathy for her but never forget this. Once she learned about the affair she at the time could have asked John to NOT RUN and she ignored that and sat back and allowed him to run,knowing he had this affair.What would have happened if he won the nomination? Sarah Palin would be our vice president right now and John Edwards would have been responsible.Elizabeth sounds like a real bitch and I know she has cancer and is fighting the fight and my heart goes out to her in that respect but I think she,like her husband,saw the power and sold her soul for the chance of becoming 1st lady. She knew the kind of man her husband was and did not care about the people of the USA. Instead she put power over principal.

If Romantico starts with the dirty old man talk, I'm outta here.

I always thought that John looked a lot like Farrah:

Will a certain red wig be making an appearance, Robbie? It would be SO full circle ... for the wig.

What I gleaned from that piece is the tale of a woman desperately in love with a man who wanted some strange.

Namo,

Somehow I see the sordid Edwards family business as a typical ole south ritual. There's a good chance she's been taught by her family and circle of friends to "strand by her man". They met in law school as I understand it.

She probably never envisioned herself becoming a US Senator or POTUS, as he probably never encouraged it due to his own sense of "entitlement". Her whole adult existence has been that of a "do right woman" supporting her husband and raising their kids to honor "him". Perhaps, in her own my mind she feels responsible for his indiscretions because many older southerners inevitably blame the lil' lady for a family's demise.

Finally, regarding "the other woman", enterprising women have been throwing panties at male authority figures who like snatch since time immemorial. How many themes and variations do we have to suffer before it's clear to all that these folks are hopelessly human? One could argue that theirs is a cautionary tale for an increasingly deluded American public.

Or maybe they're ALL a bunch of c*nts! I mean...it's possible.

I've been deriving a great deal of pleasure lately from the scandals of the rich and famous. It's been tickling me to no end.

WAIT.

I'm the c*nt!
