You do something right, they bury back on page whatever in microprint and folks forget about it after they

read it. You screw the pooch and your name is splattered on almost every front page of any major rag that gives

a rat's a**. Things come back to bite right where you sit! A lot of big people have had their pecadillos and

they are still around. Like the old saying goes "if your going to live on Main street, mind your p's and q's!" or

something to that effect. Joe shmoe can go and make a baby on every block, but if you do it? fahgeddaboudit! your

name is mud once the tabloids get wind of it! So everybody puts their shorts on one leg at a time, if enough

people ignore all the rags that put out the c**p they put out, maybe the rags will get a hint when there's all

them papers stacking up and no money coming across the table. and they'll print something worthy to read about!

I think she is really ill and trying to make the most of her time on this earth. She needs to know that her children will be cared for and loved fully.

The person that should receive all the negative vibes we have is the constantly sleezy Lisa or Rielle. She went after a married man. Yes John Edwards deserves our scorn but this other women is just yuk!

Who cares at this point this about the AFFAIR this is a private matter between a husband and wife. They have suffered through life changing events .. We are all human and those of you who put yourself on a pedestal and judge are sick. That is what is wrong with this world everyone wants to tear down others and its like we get pleasure out of seeing someone else in pain. She is dying from a terrible illness, tragically lost a child, and now dealing her husband having an affair. She is to be commended no matter what. None of us can walk in her shoes and just need to respect that she probably has made some of these choices because of her children. Mothers tend to put aside their own feelings to protect them Just because he had an affair doesn't mean like a light switch she would stop loving him. Things in life happen we are all human and make poor choices. Get over it people and move on… Have you ever heard of forgiveness ???? About the misuse of money lets just face it politics are corrupt (he sure isn't the first and probably won't be the last to use money inappropriately) until things change it will continue………

How about he's a liar, and he is STILL lying?! Elizabeth didn't know about the affair until recently! He's LYING! He didn't tell her in 2006, and that IS his baby. Anybody who watched that interview should know he is STILL lying!

Speaking of larger questions, why no paragraph breaks?

"Why is the media not asking him directly if he had sex with her."

Exactly! I'll go even further! WHY aren't they asking what positions they tried!?!? What rooms they did it in!??!

Apparently, some people need everything spelled out for them. For once, the media chose not to take the road of further vulgarity. Now, THAT is news!

As to the larger question of WHY: because she wanted him to be president.

Hi , Well this is my take. I feel very sorry for Elizabeth and all she is going through with her illness and her husband doing what a lot of men do, go to the store and stay too long, visiting with the clerk. But she is too smart to not know that this was a bomb waiting in the background to explode, on the world stage. I think she wanted this to happen, so that everyone would know how much of an arse he was. She couldn't or wouldn't beat him up, she is not going to divorce him. So what better payback than to have him run and ruin his career.

She put the Democratic party in jeopardy, she did not care. It happened just the way she wanted it happen. Now if she passes, his career is in total ruin, and she is satisfied, kind of smart if you ask me, payback is a dog in capital letters. Take that you scoundrel. )

I've been trying to avoid them and indeed have given up entirely on one blog but this is the third essay I've read online castigating Elizabeth Edwards for 'allowing' her husband to run.
Her husband's behavior was and, if the interview I saw is any indication, is politically and morally indefensible as is the behavior of the woman he choose to have an affair with. But Elizabeth Edwards? Please. A woman with two young children and stage 4 cancer did not humiliate herself and her husband by making his affair public?
Why not attack Hillary Clinton for enabling her husbands doglike proclivities throughout their pathetic sham of a marriage. Or the increasing numbers of political wives and former wives who have suddenly discovered that their husbands prefer to have sex with men? Why not chastise Laura and Barbara Bush and both of John McCain's wives? Why publically criticise a woman with 2 young children and stage 4 cancer and question why she didn't tell the world that her marriage was a sham and that, because of this, her husband wasn't qualified to have a political career?
I do not get it.

Why did Elizabeth Edwards let john continue to run? Because she understands the stupidity of the male “mid life” and the craziness of American campaigns. most of us “ameners” have never even been elected to high school homeroom reps.Carole McCain said it best,”john, (McCain) was 40 years old and wanted to be 25 again”. We have indeed become a nation of “ditto” heads let by a crowd of corporate slugs.

I don't care who JE sleeps with and their marriage choices are none of our business. BUT, if his campaign paid $114,000 to his girlfriend so she could hang around, that's unethical and a slap in the face to his contributors. If she and Young are still being paid big bucks by his campaign manager friend, that's only our business if any of that money came out of campaign money. If not, then it's his own stupidity.

Personally, I don't think being a cad necessarily means he wouldn't be a good politician. But with all the repeated lies so easily trotted out by JE I don't want to vote him into any political office.
