Edwards' wife spent final days tormented by wounded heart
FoxNews ^ | 5/9/12 | Jonathan Serrie

Posted on 05/09/2012 6:12:36 PM PDT by Private_Sector_Does_It_Better

Crying openly in court, a former campaign spokeswoman for John Edwards delivered emotional testimony about the former presidential candidate's late wife, suggesting that she died with emotional wounds left by her cheating husband.

So... When do you think that CNN will notice the a former VP candidate is on trial for six felony counts of campaign finance violations? I have yet to see the trial reported on the front page CNN.com

If this were Sarah Palin (both VPs on a losing ticket) it would be their lead story for the length of the trial!

Mrs Edwards knew about his infidelity and tolerated it as long as it looked like he had a shot at the White House.

Johnny Edwards is one of the lowest forms of life.

Absolutely, just like Saint Jacqueline Kennedy. I have trouble getting up any sympathy for this woman except that she had cancer.

I wonder how many campaign finance felony counts could be brought on Obama if one person in Congress had the balls to push it.

Guess we will never know, One doesn’t exist.

Couldn't the guy at least fake it for the last few months of her life here on Earth? I mean, he did a damn good job FAKING IT BEFORE JURIES, right? He is known to have 'channeled' dead babies during his opening and closing statements. Yes, faking the 'CHANNELING' of the dead, but he couldn't fake some feelings for his dying wife?

Love your photo, by the way.. LOL Edwards is a creep. Lucky for him he's a Dem because if Republican he's all we'd be seeing on the major network news every night of every week of every last few months!

But living like a Queen for decades off of money stolen from honest physicians and insurance companies was OK, though?

I have a feeling that true for most wives of politicians...or powerful men in general. They tolerate it because they like being in the spotlight.

In North Carolina one in four registered Republican women voters cast their vote for this guy for the U.S. Senate in 1998.

She knew, she ‘tolerated’ it, at the end she regretted. Sounds like much of humanity.

Whats amazing to me is that Edwards is giving Angry looks in the courtroom toward Andrew Young.

The SOB has yet to suck it up and take responsibility.

Hopefully they put him jail for a few years.

Mrs Edwards may have done some things wrong in life, but NO woman deserves what this lowlife did. To suffer through cancer and find out your husband has moved on with his mistress is a hard blow to recover from. I won’t speak ill of Mrs Edwards, God rest her soul.

Her husband is the lowlife and deserves prison for many many years. He is scum.

I’m thinking she probably knew darn well he was a snake but she married him anyway. That makes it kinda hard to feel very sorry for her.

She knew his womanizing nature and how he made his money in a less than honorable way, yet tried to convince voters that he was a decent caring man who should run this country. I feel very little compassion for someone who tried to fool us yet in the end was the fool. He deserves jail time but I doubt it will come to that, unfortunately.

She was an attorney, and clerked for a federal judge, so she was no star-struck teenager lusting for John Boy.

I suspect early on she aspired to the Jackie Kennedy path and later on emulated Hilldabeast.

John Boy and BJ Clinton had a lot of similarities, although John Boy wasn’t shooting blanks.

No sympathy for her regarding her choice of husband. She knew he was a scummy person and both him and her got rich off his screwing other people in court.

Anyone remember that hanging chad he had on the corner of his mouth that was removed, he claimed, for HEALTH reasons? It was a WART. You just have to lie about everything, don’t ya Johnny.

Here is hoping you start everyday crying before you even open your eyes. You deserve at least that.

And SHAME on you for what you are doing to your children.

Maybe he can join the dance team.

Hahahahaha. She always did look more like his mom.

I shouldn’t laugh, I heard the poor woman went crazy in an airport parking lot and ripped off her shirt in front of staff.

The OP makes a good point, if this was the Sarah Palin trial they would have brought back Court TV just for it.

Love the video... Not only might John learn to dance and celebrate his inner gayness... maybe one day he will also be able to cut his own hair.

Barbara: [whistles] Nice butt. That’s what they’ll say.
Ken Kessler: I beg your pardon?
Barbara: Nice butt. That’s what they’ll say on your first day, in the men’s club.
Ken Kessler: The men’s club?
Barbara: Mmm. The San Quentin Country Club. With a cute little rear end like that, you’ll be the belle of the ball. Your dance card’ll be filled every day. You’ll be so popular, making all kinds of new, close friends. Big, ugly, hairy friends! Not that you’ll ever see what they look like, ‘cause you’ll be facing the other way.
Ken Kessler: You’re very good at this. You should write children’s books.
