Added liberal bonus points to the future ex-Mrs. Edwards for referring to the 1-yr old human baby girl as "it."

Despite John Edwards' denials that he fathered a baby with his onetime mistress, his betrayed wife Elizabeth said she has "no idea" whether the former presidential candidate is a new dad.
In an exclusive interview set to air Thursday, Oprah Winfrey asks Elizabeth Edwards about rampant speculation that he is the father of campaign videographer Rielle Hunter's one-year-old daughter.
"I've seen a picture of the baby. I have no idea. It doesn't look like my children but I don't have any idea," Edwards told Winfrey.
Edwards talked about the state of her marriage, her husband's infidelity and her ongoing battle with terminal cancer. Last week, the Daily News published an exclusive report about Elizabeth Edwards' new memoir "Resilience" in which recounts how she publicly stood by her cheating husband's side in his failed presidential campaign.
Winfrey asked Edwards directly whether she's still in love with her husband.
"You know, that's a complicated question," she said.
The couple is still living together in their 28,000-square-foot home in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
Asked if their relationship is day to day, Edwards replied, "Neither one of us is out the door so I guess it's day by day, but maybe it's month by month."
In a portion of the interview that will be chronicled in the June issue of O magazine, Edwards offered an explanation for why her husband might have been attracted to Hunter.
"This person is very different from me, and really very different from him," she said. "We're basically old-fashioned people. So, this was a pretty big leap for him. Maybe it's being so different is what was attractive."
As she revealed in her memoir, Elizabeth Edwards told Winfrey she specifically requested fidelity from her husband when they married.
"I wanted him to be faithful to me - it was enormously important to me," she said.
Edwards told Winfrey how Hunter used a tawdry pick-up line to lure her husband.
"What John said is that this woman spotted him in the hotel in which he was staying. He was meeting someone in the restaurant bar area and she verified with someone who he worked with that it was John," she said.
"John went to dinner at a nearby restaurant and when he walked back to the hotel she was standing in front of the hotel. She said to him, 'You are so hot.'"
Edwards, who has dealt with tragedy before when the couple's 16-year-old son, Wade, died in an auto accident, said she is not scared of dying.
"It's not as frightening," she said. "If there's an ever after - please, please, please - I would be leaving part of my family, but I can do and join another party, and wait for that day when we're all together again. In some ways it's something you yearn for."
John Edwards did not publicly admit the affair with Hunter until last August - seven months after he quit the presidential race, and the National Enquirer had reported he was the father of Hunter's daughter.
At the time, Edwards adamantly denied paternity. Elizabeth Edwards did not mention the baby in her new book.

Ms. Edwards is stupid and dying. Not a good combination. Her husband's hubris and her complicity are the two reasons we now have BHO in the White House.
If the kid looks in a mirror all the time, she’ll know its his.
Edwards should be on Maury instead. He will do a paternity on the show.
“If there’s an ever after...”
Well, there’s that question answered.
let’s make this very clear that Elizabeth Edwards is as slick and scummy as her husband. Yeah, it sucks she has cancer but don’t let your sympathy for her get in the way that she’s as much a liar as her husband. I am convinced she knew her husband was cheating and it’s plausible she even allowed him knowing she was terminal. She needs to sell her book and I hope it flops like his political career did.
So obviously she knows better than to trust Silky’s denials. ROFL.
Could care less about this...the good news though is that we got rid of Edwards forever. He is damaged goods and that is good.
I hope Elizabeth Edwards lives to be 80, but she looks pretty good to me right now. Yes she has cancer, and yes its going to kill her. But the fact that she's doing a book tour a year and a half later makes their appearance on 60 Minutes look even more contrived and sleazy now than it did then. Just like Silky dropping his the memory of his son's car accident whenever he thought it might help him in the polls. They both make me sick.
Winfrey asked Edwards directly whether she’s still in love with her husband.
“You know, that’s a complicated question,” she said.
...not really. You live in a 25,000sf home with him. As long as the breck girl keeps bringing home the bacon, why not? You’re a lib. You have no concience. You have no allegiance.
It didn't take much convincing to make him go astray.
She should just divorce this two-bit ambulance chaser.
Great line !
Then John said, "I think so too. Let's go up to my room & we'll talk about it"!!
“”John went to dinner at a nearby restaurant and when he walked back to the hotel she was standing in front of the hotel. She said to him, ‘You are so hot.’”
What a class act. Apparently John honored his wife’s expressed desire that he be faithful for as long as humanly possible. But tragically, he was snared by a sneaky witch who broke down his willpower with an irresistible come-on line. It’s really not his fault: telling a born narcissist line John Edwards that he’s hot is the equivalent of offering blow to a crack addict. As with Bill Clinton, I believe we all are supposed to feel sorry for the wronged wife and just move on...
"Gosh, I just don't know if that child is my husband's. No biggie." BS.
I'd probably kill him and bury him in the backyard, but if I didn't, part of making things right with me is making things right morally (taking care of the child).
Ouch...
Given that Elliott Spitzer is now leading in the polls in NY I would say never say never when it comes to scummy crummy bummy demonrats.
