While there will be no end of very unimaginative, quite predictable, and utterly stupid people attempting to turn this thread into a political flamewar, I'll start before they and their enablers get here by saying that I'm sorry for her family and that she was a classy woman who deserved a lot more time. Best wishes all around.

I thought she got rid of her cancer when she found out it was cheating on her!

Try the veal!


Too bad for this lady. She seems like a classy dame.
 
2010-12-06 06:09:49 PM
Well said, PN.

All the best wishes to her and her family.

One of the reasons I have you favorited. Same here, sad tag is appropriate.

Damn. I knew the day was going to get here, but I still hoped she would somehow pull through.

And what Pocket Ninja said.
 
2010-12-06 06:15:06 PM
Damn.
 
2010-12-06 06:16:22 PM
cancer is rough. I have nothing but the best of wishes for her and her family. hopefully the holiday season will go well for them.
 
2010-12-06 06:22:01 PM
That's sad, no matter how your politics lean.
 
2010-12-06 06:24:47 PM
To be fair, the treatment machine found a younger and less attractive patient.
 
2010-12-06 06:28:42 PM
That sucks. Best wishes to her and friends and family.

Pocket Ninja: ...she was a classy woman...

Read Game Change.

That said, I feel so sorry for those who care about her. Nobody should have to die like that and nobody should have to see somebody they care about go that way.
 
2010-12-06 06:33:04 PM
That's damn sad. Sounds like she has accepted it, though. I wish her and her family well.

Edwards was told by her doctors last week that additional cancer treatments were futile, said a source close to the family. Her prognosis was described in terms of weeks, not months, the source said.

So sad. How difficult to have to tell someone that; how difficult to have to hear it.
 
2010-12-06 06:36:02 PM
Here's hoping she's comfortable for the rest of the time she has.
 
2010-12-06 06:46:27 PM
Those poor kids. My thoughts are with you, Elizabeth.

As usual, Pocket Ninja said what I wanted to say in a far better way than I could.

Mrs. Edwards has been shown a high level of class in some rough situations. I hope they keep her comfortable on some good meds. Rest easy Ma'am.

FTFM.

That's awful. Those poor kids. I hope their holidays are as perfect and free from trouble as possible.

/all my best to the family

You can bet your ass that if I'm ever on this road out, I'm going to be enjoying drug-fueled euphoria during my last months.
 
2010-12-06 07:19:06 PM
That poor woman has suffered so much. I admire her for being classy until the end.

:(

Pocket Ninja: get here by saying that I'm sorry for her family and that she was a classy woman who deserved a lot more time. Best wishes all around.

She is an insufferable shrew, however no one, let me repeat, NO ONE deserves to die this way.

My prayers go out to her kids and her family.
 
2010-12-06 07:57:14 PM
Cancer doesn't care about voting records, or party affiliation.

She seems like a decent sort, and I hope they can make her comfortable.
 
2010-12-06 07:58:31 PM
Damn. I hope she enjoys what time she has left. Or gets a miracle. I'd be cool with that.

That poor lady, that is just so sad.
 
2010-12-06 08:22:22 PM
Very sad news. She's carried herself with a lot of grace throughout a time where most people would have gone off the deep end.

Best to her kids.

Good thing she wasn't married to a Rep or this thread would be full of hate.

And you KNOW it's TRUE.

Hmmm. Your post seems more about depicting you as someone above the fray, rather than as a genuine shoutout to this lady. So, if anything, you're worse than the people you're denouncing. You're using her tragedy to boost yourself.

Lots of people have cancer and aren't doing well, including my wife's aunt. That being said, I'm sorry to hear the wife of disgraced former Democrat vice presidential candidate and philanderer John Edwards has been told her cancer is terminal.

All done here....

Class like this is admirable and transcends all politics. May Mrs. Edwards and her family find peace and comfort in the time they have left together

Now now, stop talking about John that way...

She has weeks, according to the article, hope she's flying high.

Unfortunately, nearly every obituary written about her will probably mention her role as a woman scorned within the first paragraph. It's too bad that this will be her most memorable role in the eyes of the general public. Such is the danger of living life as a public figure (or the wife of one), I guess.

Didn't her and Edwards finally get a divorce? Wasn't he going to marry Rielle Hunter? Either way, very sad to hear this news about her. While I've heard good and bad things about her, no one deserves to have this happen to them.

Doesn't seem like it. Seems more like you are salivating at the prospect of vomiting your ill-conceived partisan douchery onto a sorrowful discussion.

With my mom, when the metastases hit, they went to the lungs, not the liver. Morphine suppresses breathing. It made for an easier way out. Honestly, trolls, I hope you never have to face watching a loved one die of breast cancer. It changes you, and not in a good way.
 
2010-12-06 08:30:09 PM
What's also sad is that "releasing a statement" that you're terminally ill now consists of posting on facebook.
 
2010-12-06 08:30:12 PM
That's too bad.

I was struck by the fact that she makes no mention of God, which is unusual for an American in politics.

Damn, Beaten to the Punch.

Well, there may be some unimaginative trolls that will try and turn this into a flame war but I'm not one of them.
