I had stayed away from the entire Edwards saga – as the mere echoes were Schadenfreude enough for what John Edwards did to Wesley Clark in 2004 and to Hillary in 2008 and general political lies. I didn’t need to immerse myself in the whole tabloid story.
But the latest turn, finally caught me. According to the Daily News, Elisabeth Edwards commented on a number of blogs as Cherubim, targeting Rielle Hunter.
My favorite bit from that article was from Andrew Young’s book proposal:
After learning of the affair, Elizabeth made John sleep in their barn though she would wake him up with accusatory rants.
Looking for Cherubim’s posts on the internet I found out that they were made on numerous newspapers and blogs as well as the fact that th oster was suspected of being Elisabeth by some posters for some time such as this poster from June
ohseriously
I swear, Cherubim has GOT to be Elizabeth Edwards. All she does is posit that Rielle slept with multiple guys and paint Brecky as a saint. We KNOW he’s the father, cherubim, and sorry, but women aren’t sluts, they’re people.
I know Elisabeth likes to post – she was doing under her own name on DU for years. It became then clear to me that in the couple she was the progressive and I think once she got the upper hand because of the affair knowledge, demanded that John run on her agenda (my speculation – considering that JRE 2008 was a very different candidate from JRE 2004).
Still, after reading some of those cherubim comments – made from the ISP provider of someone in NYC, I wonder if – at least some of them are not made by John himself. Such as this one – on the same page at the Daily Beast
CherubimThe actor in the picture above can’t play John Edwards in the movie. He’s not sexy, while, John Edwards is sexy as Hell.

President-Elect Barack Obama has chosen, mostly, Wall Street promoters and corporate lawyers to be in his cabinet. He hasn’t included anyone who knows how to interact and relate with everyday American citizens, and then report back to him concerning: (1) what the people need, and (2) whether his administration’s new initiatives are working. During the Great Depression, Eleanor Roosevelt fulfilled this role for President Franklin D. Roosevelt. I nominate Senator John Edwards for this role. John Edwards would be a refreshing change. Is not change what Obama s supposed to be about? As a rival of Barack Obama, for the Democratic Party Presidential nomination, John Edwards, consistently spoke up for average Americans, i.e. Main Street, not Wall Street. During his “Road to One America Poverty Tour” John Edwards demonstrated that he is uniquely qualified for this role.

Why is she wasting her time with this shit? She’s not going to rehabilitate the Edwards’ brand by going after Hunter, and besides looking petty, it’s just not healthy.

One can only imagine the motives and concerns of a dying woman who wishes her children to be cared for by someone respectable.
I can see why she would write any of these things… Cept maybe the sexy part. Then again, she probably thinks he is sexy. Personally, I do not…. But, hey, to each her own.
Good entry NYS.

Like you, I left this alone (except for one post).
I don’t know if I agree that Elisabeth wrote those comments, but according to the all knowing and all seeing “Ladies” on The View, they all hammered that idea to death. (had to record the show for a video I’m making about Arianna Huffington, who was today’s guest).
I believe she (Elisabeth) knew from the start when Edwards began to campaign for the Dem nominee (see link below). Those comments sound more like the Breck Boy than Elisabeth to me (or maybe someone on the WH staff trying to whitewash the POTUS after Edwards came out and supported him against Hillary)

Go over to the DU John Edwards group, there’s still some gushing over the Edwards’, even smacking down Hunter. You can still read there without being logged in.
Wonder which ones are John and Elizabeth ? heh.

Elisabeth is angry, frustrated and in despair at this time.
I suppose writing on the blogs is the only way she can see to vent her frustrations.
I don’t agree with her. She is making a fool of herself and setting herself up to ridicule.
But then, what else can she do? How else can she show the world her anger?
Poor Elisabeth. 😦

Here’s what she could do. She doesn’t owe anybody anything, she’s got money to burn, and her voice has always been more authentic than her husband’s (IMO) so why not let sleazo wallow in his own hell alone, and independently champion something like real health care reform?
I wish her well, I really do, but after what she & John did during the primaries, I have no use for either of them, but even so, I’d still follow her blog if she decided to take on Obamacare.

Well, you should still stay away. This post is not worth your site.
