Elizabeth Edwards Unplugged; Obama 'behaving in a holier-than-thou way'...
ABC ^ | 8/13/07

Posted on 08/13/2007 4:59:18 PM PDT by bnelson44

ABC News' Sunlen Miller Reports: In an interview in August's edition of The Progressive magazine, Elizabeth Edwards, wife of former Senator John Edwards, D-N.C., takes candid shots at the other candidates battling for the Democratic nomination against her husband.

"The problem for me with the other candidates is I don't know what it is that drives them," she explained, "I should think the president has to be somebody who has that kind of vision outside themselves."

Mrs. Edwards praised her husband for apologizing for his vote in favor of the Iraq War, and questioned Senator Hillary Clinton's, D-N.Y., for not doing the same.

"She even, in the New Hampshire debate said, 'I made a mistake.' People are looking for a mea culpa from her. And when she buried a line like that –- I give her credit for saying that –- but when she buries that line... we're electing a leader of the free world, and just like the votes on this last funding bill, we're looking for a leader," Edwards contended.

Mrs. Edwards has already said....

“We can’t make John black, we can’t make him a woman.”

The ‘woman’ part is a work in progress.

In fact, John had his genitalia removed in grade school.

The Socialism and hair part stuck, but the rest has been a major disappointment.

He has ended up something more than a woman, and less than a metrosexual. Maybe a materosexual.

What’s with Elizabeth Edwards being out there and creating news by herself? Any publicity is good publicity, Lizzie?

Looks like I was wrong about the genitalia.

All intact according to Mrs. Edwards, who has keen eyesight.

She appears to be the only spouse of any candidate in either party giving her 2 cents every other minute.

I just love it: the Breck girl has his wife go after his enemies. Guess his nails weren’t dry, so he tells his wifey to talk mean to his foes. What a dude! I’ll bet the nutty muslim terrorists are shaking in their robes when they think of an Edwards’s presidency. What a joke!

People are looking for a mea culpa from her.

What is it with the dems and their constant demands that people apologize? Don't they know these people apologizing for what they did, only for getting caught doing it or for being on the wrong side of the polls. The dems act like it's all a kindergarten playground: "I'm sorry I hit you in the eye" really means "Too bad the teacher was watching when I hit you in the eye."

You can't criticize Mrs. Edwards. She has cancer. That makes her rhetoric unanswerable.

But I think people know when they're being manipulated, and resent the hell out of someone making hay out of a terminal illness.

Mrs. Edwards is confirming Coulter’s theory of Liberal Infallibility.

Liberals always send out their most pathetic victims as attack dogs without expectation of retaliation.

You are right on target. She is acting like a martyr. I think the fact he is still running for President as she dies is disgusting to me.

“The problem for me with the other candidates is I don’t know what it is that drives them”

Ambition.

In an Edwards Presidency, foreign countries would have to negotiate with his wife.

Despite the outrageous comments of the spouses of the leading Liberal politicians (Edwards, Obama, Clinton), the Lying Liberal Media has chosen to be most critical of Fred Thompson’s intelligent and demure wife!
