Edwards at the Daily Kos"},"content":{"rendered":"

Charles at Little Green Footballs <\/a>writes that Elizabeth Edwards decided to apologize to America by writing on Daily Kos<\/a>. I suppose because all of America reads the Kos (eye roll here) she considered that a proper venue. I didn’t read the whole thing, just the part that Charles quoted…I really don’t care that much about the whole story, just the lack of honesty and lack of shame of a guy and his family who wanted to represent our nation overseas and expected to formulate our national policy.<\/p>\n

But anyway, Elizabeth Edwards caught my eye with these lines;<\/p>\n

This was our private matter, and I frankly wanted it to be private because as painful as it was I did not want to have to play it out on a public stage as well. Because of a recent string of hurtful and absurd lies in a tabloid publication, because of a picture falsely suggesting that John was spending time with a child it wrongly alleged he had fathered outside our marriage, our private matter could no longer be wholly private.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What arrogance! She makes it sound like our fault that her husband got caught diddling some campaign flunky (and a fairly ugly one, at that). So if only we’d left him alone and let him sneak around behind her back (which I’m assuming he promised not to do seein’s how Elizabeth & John Edwards are still together) in a swanky LA hotel.<\/p>\n

I’m guessing that everyone is saying that another campaign staffer is admitting the child is his to make Ms. Hunter appear as if she’s some kind of tramp who sleeps with anyone, including campaign staffers. See, that makes Edwards less culpable because he succumbed to the wiles of a wanton tramp – that’s Old Testament stuff, people. Read it! It’s what killed Sampson, for Pete’s sake!<\/p>\n

The Jawa Report <\/a>writes that the Hunter family is having none of that, though…they want a paternity test. They’ll probably get their paternity test about the same time John Kerry signs his Form 180<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I know Edwards is quietly waiting for 2012…by then everyone will be disillusioned with whoever is President and he’ll be able to capitalize on sympathy for his dead wife to overcome this setback. Reading the comments at Kos, I see the healing has already begun;<\/p>\n

NC Dem Amy;<\/strong> Stay strong. I know you will.<\/p>\n

We are behind you and your family 100%.<\/p>\n

MiketheLiberal;<\/strong> And, for this particular male Edwards voter in 2008, please tell John I am disappointed. I’ll forgive, but I’m disappointed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And this from a kozian whose screen name, ironically enough, is Silence is Complicity<\/strong>;<\/p>\n

We support you 100%<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

UPDATE:<\/strong> Ms. Hunter’s lawyer says there’ll be no paternity test<\/a>;<\/p>\n

In a statement, Gordon says that Hunter is ruling out any kind of testing that could establish who the daughter’s father is.<\/p>\n

“Rielle will not participate in DNA testing or any other invasion of her or her daughter’s privacy now or in the future,” he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Hmmm. According to the Left, Bush’s refusal to answer questions about his drug use means he’s a coke addict, so Ms. Hunter’s refusal means….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
