One thing I have learned about National Enquirer over the years is that if they say you’re dying, I don’t care how good you feel, you’d better start pricing grave plots.

The NE publishes sensational stories. That's the gig. Nevertheless the editors vet their stories better than most dailies and exponentially better than the New York Times or Dan Rather.

LOL. Love it.

They are hard core at the Enquirer, they pay the friends of the rich and/or famous to spill the beans, they are very good at it, and have only been wrong a few times.

It is said that after they headlined “Johnny Carson to get Divorced”, that Johnny considered suing them for slander.... but decided to go ahead and get divorced as he had planned.

Seriously - this is as sad as any battle with cancer, no more no less. Just a lot more public. She promoted her husband's campaign after she knew of his affair and what could come of that. Seemed that was a bit of shameless power seeking. But this is not the time for critical evaluation.  Even if she had been healthy - the burden of her husband's betrayal was a nasty thing to have to endure. Much harder when you knew your life expectancy was limited and there would be less time to help your children deal with it (and it takes children a long time to deal with it.) Never cared for her as a political advocate or as a lawyer, but will hope for a miraculous reversal, nonetheless.

Well, then Liz Taylor must still be plot shopping after 40 years.

I'm sorry Elizabeth Edwards has cancer. I'm sorry she's dying. I'm sorry her husband was and is such a POS. But Mrs Edwards was partisan to the point of being obnoxious. When her husband was running for office it was always the GOP that didn't love, wasn't merciful, didn't care, hated. It never even occurred to her that her husband was the one with those vices. It never occurred to her that those vices were her own.
