Isn't that precisely what elections are about in a democracy: Our right as voters to pass judgement on the people who propose to be elected to lead us. This is the same type of hipocracy as when people running for office ask us to stay out of their personal life and judge them on their "merits" instead.
No, WE get to decide what to judge politicians by, and we must never forget that. If they think we have the wrong opinion of them, then they are free to explain themselves and try to sway us but they DON'T get to tell us what to base our votes on. If they can't accept that, they should get out of politics and move to Cuba.
Although they may not be lousy parents they ARE lousy people. So you dare not leave out the word LOUSY.
And what are the silicon bloggers kids doing while they’re b$~@hing about Edwards?
It is better for the kids to be with their parents together.
I agree with this visionary blogger so much that I wish mrs. pretty boy would take it one step further ...
Mrs Edwards ! take yourself, your children
AND YOUR FAG HUSBAND home and leave them there
How did ABC News and the NY Slimes get hold of an “article” by an unknown blogger. Makes me wonder if the MSM peruses Free Republic.
The Edwards' are losing it.
I’m with you all the way on that. Aloha
I agree with you that when they realize he has NO CHANCE of getting the nomination, he should quit the campaign for the sake of his wife’s condition and the quality of life for the family.
He’s dumb, and she’s dumber — or they both would have realized the time has already passed that he has NO CHANCE.
The timing of his departure will be along the lines of Al Gore’s concession (and Kerry’s to a lesser degree). These people won’t give up until the lights have been turned off and EVERYONE has deserted them.
I consider using cancer as an excuse for poor behavior to be just more poor behavior. I’ve known a lot of people who have had cancer, and many of them died from it, but not one of them used their illness as an excuse for bad behavior. Most of them actually became more kind and thoughtful. Mrs. edwards is as much of a tacky creep as her husband.
“It is better for the kids to be with their parents together”
Well, unless one of the parents is busy saving MILLIONS of kids through the Childen’s Defense Fund!
“Just like you don’t get to decide what makes me happier, I don’t get to decide what makes Hillary happier.”
hmmmmm Lizzie has been deciding what will make people happier the whole time shes been out on the campaign. and if she doesnt get to decide what makes Hilliarity happier why did she say what she said to begin with? I also noticed how she once again mentioned her illness which to me has become the blanket she hides behind when she is confronted.
Many schools (and practically all private schools) don’t open until after Labor Day. And few public or private schools would have been open before this week. Isn’t it a bit early to be chastizing EE for keeping her kids out of school?
Elizabeth, it seems, cannot stand to be criticized. Not exactly helpful for a political wife, is it?
I hope the silky pony's opponents notice this and act accordingly.
It is alll silly. Msr. Edwards shouldn’t have bothered with it. School is important. But being with their parents is much more important. There isn’t any comparision. I can’t stand John Edwards. But what the kids are learning could never be learned in school, whether they like it or not.
Charitable. Elizabeth Edwards is a despicable a-hole and an embarrassment to American politics. Waving her cancer in the air is beneath contempt. The blogger mom isn’t much better. Who is she anyway, besides nobody, and why should anyone care what she thinks?
She took lessons from that wretched old broad from Texas who died last year. I forget her name, but she had breast cancer too and was equally nasty and hostile as Mrs. John Edwards.
