RALEIGH, N.C. – Elizabeth Edwards has separated from her husband, two-time presidential candidate John Edwards, after a tumultuous three years in which the couple's marital troubles became tabloid fodder.
Andrea Purse, a friend of Elizabeth Edwards, told The Associated Press on Wednesday that the couple has separated. She released a statement on behalf of the 60-year-old mother of four that said, "Elizabeth is moving on with her life and wants to put this difficult chapter behind her."
North Carolina law requires couples to be separated for a year before divorcing.
The announcement comes as details emerge from a tell-all book by longtime Edwards aide Andrew Young, who initially claimed that he fathered a child with John Edwards' mistress in the weeks leading up to the crucial presidential primaries. John Edwards publicly declared last week that he was the father of the child with Rielle Hunter, who worked as a videographer before his second presidential campaign in 2008.
BT comment: If John F. Kerry (who served in Vietnam) would've won the 2004 election, Edwards would've been a proverbial heartbeat away from the presidency. And then, a possible canidate for the presidency(again). What a train wreck. This guy was Bill Clinton with a coif obsession.
A wise man once told me that if a man cheats on his spouse, then it's safe to say that he would cheat on his business partner(or his business in general). In the case of politicians substitute business for country. Clinton proved that axiom and it appears Edwards did also, just without ascending to the highest office in the land.

that poor woman, I mean, his wife.
ReplyDelete... it almost appears as if the man has had work done. hair replacement, and very obviously doesn't want it to look...obvious.
tabloid fodder with a curl.
Hair today, gone tomorrow. Could there be some connection between a man's obsession with his hair and the propensity to cheat on his spouse?
ReplyDeleteIf only she had owned a copy of 'Is He Cheating on You? – 829 Telltale Signs' (Lifestyle Publications, $29.95), dear Elizabeth may have picked up on it sooner and might have spared herself and the children some of the pain and public humiliation.

Turns out that she is a real piece of work too according to the tell all book that was recently published. Not that it justifies his infidelity. Kind of like the Clintons.
ReplyDeleteLike the Clintons. Interesting, BT. I don't know WHAT to make of this group of big-haired cheaters and the women who marry 'em.
ReplyDeleteThis blogster's observations are less scientific, but seem to support the idea of a 'healthier' lifestyle: http://www.underneathpolitics.com/qh40010607200740.html
