I have to say, Elizabeth looks awfully smug for someone who is supposedly a victim. She has overestimated her fan base and how much b.s. Americans can take. She is angry that she is not in the White House and in addition to that her husband’s latest affair made the news. Many women in America deal with cheating husbands; not many of them deal with it by telling Oprah, America, writing a book, and living in a mansion. Elizabeth is disgusting.

It takes two to tango. And if all it took was some stranger to walk up to my husband and tell him “you are so hot” to rip his pants off, well…

Elizabeth seems to me in the interviews that she is getting some kind of sick satisfaction from all of this. If she truly were a victim, she wouldn’t seem so much to be gloating about the fact that her husband cheated on her. The ONLY reason Elizabeth Edwards wrote her book is because she can’t stand the fact that THIS affair of all of John’s affairs (look at her, of course he cheated on her) became public. Last year, she begged for privacy, this year, she hawks a book about it. What does she want? She wants revenge. I cannot wait until Reielle’s book comes out, then we will know that perhaps “You are so hot” is what John said, not Reille. How “resilient” can one be if she cannot event stand to hear the name of her husband’s lover? That’s not resilient, that’s denial. As someone wrote above, someone who “forgave” her husband and “loves” him doesn’t bash him nationwide on a pity party book tour.

omg….thanks for following the thought process Mandy….I meant SPITZER….although, Mrs. Specter has got to be wondering who the hell she married as well.

What a masquerade….and did you notice and interpret their body language? John Edwards scratching his arm constantly showed how unconfortable he was. And Elizabeth Edwards hugging herself or hunched forwards?
I dont believe there is love there. I believe she is out there to take her revenge in public and humiliate her husband as much as possible. If she really loved and forgave him she would not expose him to this. She is out to hurt him and insure that he and Rielle Hunter can t get together again.

Cynthinia, I do care to be a voyeur of her life or any other “celebrity”. Why they have the neccesity to inflict the details of their personal lives on us is beyond me. That is why I suspect it is the profit motive. Not only by the “victim” but especially the “media”. It might increase their bottom line but it doesn’t mine.

Elizabeth has the right to tell her story, her view in her own words. Not writing this book wasn’t going to make this scandal go away. Her kids can get older and read exactly what their mom had to say, not journalists or historians or bloggers. In our media savvy society, it’s best if you tell your own story, so when your story is told in documentary styled programs, ie., “Politicians and Scandals,” or when political ethics are taught and John Edwards’ name is sited as a case study, they’ll have her words and thoughts to interject.

When feminism is discussed and the modern woman, the paradox of “standing by your man” and what it means or implies, Elizabeth Edwards’ own words can be used.

I believe her kids will appreciate that their mother had the courage to publicly address what happened in her marriage after making news headlines and being fodder for many jokes.

Elizabeth Edwards had many reasons to write this book and for whatever reasons it’s her life and choice.

With wives like Mrs. Edwards and Mrs. Specter “standing my their man” is it any wonder how screwed (pun intended) we are as a country?

All these people are phony. If she wasn’t trying to turn a profit ($$$$) we would not be subjected to all this fake angst. In the sports world, Coach K who seldom speaks to the media is now everywhere. Why? He too is selling a book.

Of course the top phony baloney is Oprah herself.
