John Edwards, said in an ABC radio interview that Lynne Cheney had ``overreacted.'' John Edwards mentioned Mary Cheney in last week's vice presidential debate with no criticism from the Cheneys.<br /><br />``I think that it indicates a certain degree of shame with respect to her daughter's sexual preferences,'' Elizabeth Edwards said. `It makes me really sad that that's Lynne's response.''<br />=========<br /><br />She had no business going there.<br />She is also supposed to have been the force behind John hiring whats her Pandagon to blog for his campaign.<br /><br />I admire how gracefully she has handled the tragedies in her life, but that doesn't make her a good person or a person to emulate.MayBeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11966319657113124861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-36317553191538712072009-05-01T22:23:00.000-05:002009-05-01T22:23:00.000-05:00Who would believe Edwards' craptastic story that h...Who would believe Edwards' craptastic story that he would want to run for office in his dead son's memory?! It's bad enough Edwards would even say it, but that Kerry or anyone else could believe it...?<br /><br />Both the Edwards should just go live their lives and try to restore some measure of dignity.<br /><br />And for all we know Elizabeth has many years to go, and I hope she does.

The sellpoint was always Elizabeth - they would never have believed Edwards on his own - too fluffy, but if "grounded" Elizabeth believed in him, then they did, too.lowercasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03005647523147840405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-103990142578197432009-05-01T14:13:00.000-05:002009-05-01T14:13:00.000-05:00Well, thank you Beth.

Or would you have a dying woman subject her children to a divorce before they lose their mother?</I>.<br /><br /><br />All that may be true, but what is revolting is this attention-starved, media whore wants to bath in the spotlight, suck up the love and sympathy of susceptable women who worship female victimhood so much - she had to trot out with all the slime and shovel it at the public.<br /><br />NOW she is being truthful, vs. lying her ass off on the campaign trail for almost 9 months.<br /><br />She knew he cheated and was unfit to be President, yet she joined in the deception so she could bask in all the sympathy and "admiration" of poor brave Elisabeth, sacrificing her remaining months to be away from her children and in front of rally after rally and TV studio after studio because:<br /><br />"She believed in JOHN and how the country neeeeds him!
