Thursday I saw Elizabeth Edwards on Oprah. She has written a book "Resilience" about her husband John Edwards affair. She says he ran for president after he had told her he had cheated with a campaign worker, and she urged him to drop out of the race--touting as he did "family values," and she told him if the press got wind of the affair he'd be finished. But he refused to drop out, thinking he was invulnerable.
This is how he told his wife he got sucked into the affair. After a meeting, this woman, whom Mrs. Edwards will not call by name, told John Edwards she had been wanting to meet him, and said "You are so hot."  Affair ensued. When Elizabeth, who was battling breast cancer found out, she said she wanted to throw up. He wouldn't admit anything until The National Enquirer nailed him as father of his lover's baby.
Have y'all seen the photo of this woman?  She's a dog. But all she had to say was "you are so hot" and it turned him on. Was he that needy and desperate for attention? He lied at first, telling Elizabeth he had only had sex with the woman once, but Elizabeth writes his original confession "left most of the truth out." On Oprah, he made a brief appearance, looking so smug I wanted to kick him in the nuts. What a rat.
