Did it occur to anyone that John’s ego of wanting more children by Elizabeth who is many years older than him CAUSED HER CANCER!!! She had to undergo MEGA DOSES OF HORMONES in order to get pregnant which she did willingly for him….and this very well could have caused her breast cancer -. John even bragged about her giving birth at her age during the campaign!!! — And the whole while he was cheating on her. He deserves NOTHING. I hope that his mistress or mistresses dump him which is what he deserves and that Elizabeth gets all his money for her kids. She only has 6 months to live and hopefully she can have some sort of peace in knowing that her children will be well taken care of. She deserves much more than John!!! May God Bless you and Be with you during this most difficult time in your life. It would be wonderful if God would put his healing touch upon you and grant you some peace.
Elizabeth…you are in my prayers.

I have a close friend who was just diagnosed with stage IV cancer. She always did everything at home and is like Elizabeth in several ways. This woman’s husband has really come around in terms of shared responsibility and has become very supportive and attentive to her needs. She is a strong woman, but I can’t imagine what she would be doing now if her husband was a philanderer, possibly serial philanderer and then she had to deal with the whole town watching him go from respected member of the community to scumbag. She, like Elizabeth Edwards, needs to be able to focus on her health and her children.

The whole problem with the role model business is that the Edwards children are quite young and they will end up with their sleazy father and his tart after Elizabeth dies. Those two will end up being significant role models for these kids. I don’t know whether she has living parents or siblings who could share custody of these kids, provided it was worked out in advance, but it might give them some hope for a decent childhood.

Wow, we almost made it through one thread without someone telling another poster to STFU.

I like how many thoughtful posts we have had on this subject.

Has anyone considered that Andrew Young is shopping his book? Why has no one taken that into consideration before we buy every pearl that drops from this swine’s mouth. The only thing provable in ALL his major spilling of secrets is that John was venal enough to pay him for claiming paternity. The rest of it was he said, she said. He wants his part of the gravy train and was a big enough douche and liar to pubicly claim paternity for a child he knew was not his! That was a really ethical thing to do wasn’t it? Surely no one like that would lie, right? On the subject of Elizabeth Edwards she has lost a child, has terminal cancer and probably spends a great deal of time trying to plan a future for her small children that does not include their mother so STFU about her already! This is a woman who should be free to do whatever, God knows she has paid the piper so she gets to call the tune!

I like Alaska Joey’s and Birdie’s comments on this story. The fact of her terminal diagnosis (and the poor woman looks very bad in this pic) really does change everything. Staunch feminist that I am, I cannot and will not judge this woman. She’s losing the fight of her life, so whatever she chooses, God bless her. I just hope whatever she does, it gives her the modicum of peace she deserves.

I’ve never liked EE. First off, because she blamed it all on RH, and that’s a *gross* misrepresentation of what happened. Had JE wanted to say no, he would have. And, it was HIM, not RH, the married one. Second reason is, EE has been lying, and I don’t like people who are in the habit of lying. Finally, JE betrayed his wife, true, but who are we kidding when we think she had no fault in it? When a marriage falls apart, the fault is on both sides (although in different proportions) and I’m yet to hear “holy Elisabeth” admitting her flaws.

I think Dead Pirate has hit the nail on the head. When you take out lawyers fees, by getting half, she’s ensuring that the lions share of the money goes to their kids. Hunter’s child will have to be supported out of “his” half.

I say castrate the bastard and bury or creamate his organ with Elizabeths remains.
I cant imagine the pain this woman is feeling right now, she is dying and he was banging his ho’s thru out her cancer treatments and probably most of their marriage. She is thinking of the 2 younger kids and what will happen to them when she goes, we can bet she does not want them near Reile Hunter! My heart goes out to this woman and she deserves to take him to the cleaners and the cleavers,

Take him down to Chinatown and clean his clock! With the crap she’s had dished out, vengeance would be the only saving grace during her last days…poor lady! Everything she’s done up to this point has been a front to cover his cheating ass.
