Elizabeth Edwards' new book is out and, of course, she makes mention of her husband (and former Senator / presidential candidate) John Edwards and his affair. From the Associated Press [3]:
Elizabeth Edwards writes in a new memoir that news of her husband's affair made her vomit in a bathroom.
In the book scheduled to be published May 12, Edwards says her husband, John, admitted to the betrayal just days after declaring his run for president in 2006. She says she wanted him to drop out of the race to protect the family from media scrutiny, but stood by his side anyway.
John Edwards went public with the affair in August after the National Enquirer reported he was the father of videographer Rielle Hunter's daughter.
Of course you have to feel a little bad for her...at least to begin with. But, on the other hand, she stayed married to the guy...and stood by him while he ran for President with this still "in the closet"...and despite rumors that he still played around...and his public lying about ever having the affair [4] to begin with, until he got caught [5]...and while he's probably still lying about have a love child.
Would that this guy would have gotten the Democrat nomination.
