For shame, Elizabeth Edwards

SeriouslyReaders, we’re gonna take a minute to talk to Elizabeth Edwards for a post. You can read along, but it won’t be pretty.

How dare you, Elizabeth? What gives you the right to keep your husband’s affair a secret? Huh?

Look, Betty: we’re the American people. Your husband is famous. That means he’s ours to rake over the coals.

Your choices in this were limited to a) looking like a victim or b) kicking him to the curb so we can date him send him to prison or something.

It’s almost like you cheated on us.

Shh, it’s OK. Don’t cry. We’re not mad at you … just disappointed.

  1. Give me a break! This is NOT Elizabeth Edward’s fault. It was not her place to expose this. All the blame goes to John Edwards. Get a life – you guys always find a woman to blame!

  2. I can’t believe this stuff. It was Elizabeth’s responsibility to tell all on her husband’s affair. And John goes scott free. This sure is a man’s world these days in America. Do these same people think it is the woman’s fault when she is raped? Seems like we are living in a Taliban world in America.

  3. As usual, the guy can stick his cock in any disease-infested whore and it’s the wife’s fault. So sorry that Elizabeth wasn’t giving blow jobs in between chemo. What a horrible, horrible wife she is. Kind of sounds like the same schtick pulled on Hillary Clinton when she was humiliated by her husband’s Oval Office affair. Ladies, screw men. Quit getting married and only use them as toys to fuck on lonely weekends.

  4. I assume this was sarcastic, in which case – thanks. I can’t believe people expected her to act any differently – the woman has stage IV, incurable cancer and an 8 and a 10 year old at home. Could you imagine the damage to those kids if she announces the affair and then died anytime soon after? Let the kids continue to believe daddy’s the good guy so that when he’s the only parent left, they can retain some level of normalcy and a belief in the stability of family so they don’t come out totally screwed up. I was 8 when my mom had cancer and thankfully she survived and it’s been over 20 years since then, but I know the lesson I would’ve taken from that if it had been my parents: Daddy killed Mommy by cheating on her. It wouldn’t matter the truth or how many times they explained it, that would’ve been the end result. And people want to complain she didn’t do that to her kids? Are you f***ing kidding me?

  5. Well, it is not like they are the couple a few houses down from us..They both aspired to be in politics.
    So having an affair and especially under the circumstances. Makes him an incredibly insensitive man. One with little to no integrity.
    It is some thing voters should know.
    So in some ways she is not being unfairly critisized. Under the circumstances it might seem cruel..But they chose politics.And chose to represent honesty and integrity. And when it became obvious to her he was not that man, it should have been some thing the voters should have known too.
    So as sad as it is, yes she should not have tried to keep people thinking he was a decent man.
    But she is also his wife and wives have a right to preserve their marriages and their families. And she sure doesn’t deserve such cruel judgment.
    She is the victim. And caught in a catch 22..And people need to stay aware of that.

  6. ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS THANK GOD IT WASN’T A LITTLE BOY OR MAN THAT HE CHEATED WITH. I DO STAND BY ELIZABETH’S CHOICE OF NOT SAYING ANYTHING, BECAUSE IT IS NOT OUR BUSINESS. WHAT HAPPEN BETWEEN THEM SHOULD STAY BETWEEN THEM. WHAT HELL OUR THESE PEOPLE THINKING! THINK I SOME PEOPLE SHOULD NOT ACT HIGH AND MIGHTY BY JUDGING THEM. ELIZABETH HAS FORGIVEN HIM AND SHE IS TRING TO MOVE ON AND I THINK EVERYONE SHOULD TOO. NO ONE IS PERFECT WE ALL HAVE OUR DOWN FALLS. I HOPE THE EDWARDS CAN RECOVER FROM THIS BECAUSE THEY HAVE ALOT TO OFFER.

  7. I understand Elizabeth’s intent, but I also think she’s wrong. I kept my husband’s affair totally secret for 3 years before I confronted him about it. I don’t know what I was trying to prove (tell me again what it was, Elizabeth), but it didn’t work. Everybody knew during those 3 years, and they all know now. Few, if any, even had the balls to support/encourage me and speak against the affair. I learned who my friends were not.

  8. its not our business…there has to be a line between personal life and professional life. when your ceo fucked the maid did the whole company get a memo, was he fired, was his wife shamed for not sending that memo. the world is not a people magazine. mind your own business. what happend with the edwards is between them not them and the whole usa. there was a time when people respected the president when did that change. the general public didnt know FDR was in a wheelchair for most his time and did that affect his job as a leader? if people are so worried about the personal lives of the people who lead us then why dont we investigate every senator, every congressman, and every judge. im sure more than half the leaders of our country would be stoned to death because of what they find out. so what if edwards had an affair he is a great leader and has done more for our world than many of you readers will ever do combined. the edwards are not brad and angelina. and shame on your for blaming mrs edwards for keeping her marriage problems between her and her husband.

  9. Only the liberal media will slam the innocent victim in all of this. Right is wrong and wrong is right to them and they decide their own morality. Great thinking. It confirms the thinking of all the convicts in prison who set their own morality also.

  10. Elizabeth and John have a 16 yr old son who died, she has cancer, and he had an affair. Cheating on a spouse is wrong no matter what, but sometimes people do lousy things under severe stress they may not have done otherwise.

    He ended the affair and sought to make it right with his wife. She decided to work towards forgiving him. Why does this disqualify him politically? No one can claim perfection. We venerate people like John F Kennedy who are believed to have had multiple affairs with no apparent remorse, yet we want to demonize John Edwards for an affair he ended. Worse — we want to demonize his wife for forgiving him.

    Why?

  11. “This sure is a man’s world these days in America.”

    This will remain true as long as women remain as gullible and ignorant as most of you who posted comments.
