    No kidding.  I had to stop reading the article in the NYTimes.  I want to say "what an a-hole" but that doesn't begin to describe it. Grrrr....

    I read the account of Elizabeth Edwards baring her chest and it makes me very sad.  I am so sorry that the person who was suppose to love and support her was such a $h*t.

    Makes me feel like hiring a bus load of us ladies, going to the courthouse and pummeling him with any rotten produce or eggs we could muster.

    Chick - we should hire a bus and all stand in front of the courthouse shirtless in solidarity with Elizabeth!

    What a selfish sleeze bag!!!  The humilation he inflicted on Elizabeth is hard to comprehend.

    This article made me so sad, and also pi$$ed - I can't believe he was unemotional at the sight of her breakdown and then continued on to a campaign speech while she was laying on the hangar floor sobbing.!!  WTF??!  He could be the president right now if this had all been covered up. 

    Well he'll have a lot of time to think about his hideous actions when he's rotting in a jail cell.  Now that he's not worth any money and powerless, guessing his former girlfriend/whacko has hit the road, too. 

    Edited to add that I met Elizabeth at a military base in NC, she came to our base exchange to sign her Saving Graces book. She was really wonderful, warm and gracious with the troops.

    Thanks IPad doesn't let me create hot links. Others will have to google the story now, the Wash Post link now goes to whatever the latest courtroom stuff has occurred.

    Here's another link and sorry it's not clickable. http://www.telegram.com/article/20120503/NEWS/105039874/1052

    I saw this earlier today and it made me so very sad. How heartbreaking for her kids to hear this in open court.

    It really bothers me that John and Elizabeth's eldest daughter is there by her father's side every day at the trial.  To me that seems like it's a slap in the face to Elizabeth.  That's not fair though... who knows, John was with Elizabeth when she died and maybe she asked their daughter to support him through this. Still, it really bothers me.

    I think - despite what I think of him - that it would be too difficult for the daughter to have to choose between her parents.  She's already lost one and, now, stands to lose another, poor girl.  Despite what he's done, he's still her father and she, probably, still loves him very much.

    Tough call for anyone.

    I'm reminded of when Chelsea Clinton held hands with her parents during the Monica Lewinsky episode. Life is messy. Marriage is messy. But the children? Heaven help all the children....

    He is a narcisstic pig, who only cares about himself.  Whatever the outcome of the trial, the world knows that now.

    I feel sorry for his daughters.

    Can't wait to see him in prison fatigue....I wonder if they will have to put him in solitary for security reasons...a "pretty boy" like that could probably get seriously messed up in the general population.

    I also feel uncomfortable when I see women standing publicly by men who have done them wrong and publicly humiliated them. It's ok to stand by him privately or to refrain from criticizing him but this public show is so unbecoming. I hope the younger Edwards children have more spunk and self-respect and realize that their father is a narcissist who care more about how he looks than how bloody stupid his daughter looks walking next to him. I hope Cate's mother never asked her to prostitute herself like that. Otherwise, public humilliation will be brought down from generation to generation. 

    Anyway, this situation is making me so "crabby" that I think I will press send here. :-)

    To bad the trial isn't in Phoenix, he could wear pink underwear and live in a tent with guys named Bubba.

    You know, I had the pleasure of meeting Hillary Clinton shortly after the Jenifer Flowers debacle. My friend begged me to go to a meeting where she was speaking. They NEEDED an audience. Warm bodies to show Clinton wasn't down and out. So I went. We had to move up closer to the stage so the camera would see all the seats full. Anyway, I wasn't disappointed when she spoke. Brilliant woman,IMHO. What she was doing with him was beyond me! Why she stayed with him was beyond me! After the Lewinsky debacle, I lost whatever little respect I had left for her BECAUSE SHE WAS THE MOTHER OF A DAUGHTER AND OWED HER DAUGHTER BETTER.


    I read Dina McGreevey's book. Don't get me started with her ex-husband... The former governor of New Jersey. I really wish her and her daughter well! And Spitzer, in my home state....Oy! THE CHILDREN! They are owed better from these selfish people!

    Hope he goes to prison for this, including the sex tape, and not for the money thing.

    Wonder who's bitch he is going to be.
