John Edwards left out of Elizabeth's will.

[Keystone Phil]

Everything is left to the kids - http://www.cnn.com/2011/POLITICS/01/06/elizabeth.edwards.will/index.html?hpt=T1

[exopolitician]

Good.

[Eraserhead]

Not exactly a shocker.

[Silent Hunter]

Not exactly a shocker.

Considering what he did, it's not a surprise.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Not exactly a shocker.

[Torie]

I wonder what the man in love with his own hair, and everything else about himself (yes, he is a narcissist, a mental condition as to which there is absolutely no cure I am told), is doing these days. Does anyone know?

Flying under the radar.......he's supposedly taking care of his younger children (the ones with Elizabeth).......business wise - lord knows.

I don't know what Edwards is doing now.  But I hope nobody leaves that asshat anything in their will, nor gives him anything now.  

By the way, I recently was told that, in the most recent release of mental illnesses in the newest edition of DSM, narcissism is no longer found, meaning that it's no longer considered a disease.  Bad news for the rest of us, but good news for Edwards.

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

He deserves it.

[Joe Biden 2020]

Thanks, Phil!!! I needed a good, hearty laugh!!  Sucks to be Edwards now, doesn't it?

[Brittain33]

Thanks, Phil!!! I needed a good, hearty laugh!!  Sucks to be Edwards now, doesn't it?

I'm glad she did this too, but he's still amazingly wealthy on his own account, no?

I don't know if any of us have an answer but I'd say he's certainly not a poor.......yeah.

Was the divorce final and everything? (I forget).

[Kevin]

Good, the POS deserves it.

[Mr. Taft Republican]

Was the divorce final and everything? (I forget).

I'm pretty sure, or it was being finalized.

I'm so glad she decided to do this, imagine how the kids must feel about the mess.

Well, if it was not final...I suppose (generically, not sure how NC, I assume the jurisdiction, does it)....if John wanted to cement his status as a major league a$$hole, he could take the spousal share, will be damned.

It appears it was NOT final  And yeah, he's major enough to want some for his illegitimate child and his poon.

[bullmoose88]

I'm interested in hearing someone a lot more experienced/seasoned in these matters expound/refute my novice theory here.  Cough...torie...cough...look over here...cough.

[GMantis]

He neither needs it nor deserves it. Good will.

[RI]

Supposedly he proposed to Rielle Hunter.

[SvenssonRS]

+1 to Elizabeth Edwards. The dishonest, narcissistic ass didn't deserve to be put in.

[Badger]

Anyone intersted in some interesting insight on this should read Game Change, an insiders look at the 2008 election within the Obama, Clinton, Edwards and McCain campaigns. I read it the same week Edwards died. John is portrayed as every bit as reckless and narcissistic as his caricatures. By all accounts he genuinely was one of the genuinely nicest and down to earth people in politics, but something changed after the 2004 race and he became obsessed with such matters as the labels on his clothes, and developed a raging narcissism close aids called "the ego monster".

Rielle Hunter is apparently the prototypical hippieish space cadet. For example, a new agey pagan type, she would frequently declare "I'm a witch" to people she'd just been introduced to in the campaign.

Quite interesting though was the information about Elizabeth Edwards. It is......interesting. If was provided by numerous sources (including in one case a conference call with about 50 other people listening to her) who were shocked and outraged by John's conduct. It doesn't excuse John Edwards behavior one iota, but suffice to say the theme of the portrayal of even people sympathetic to her was what they called "the myth of St. Elizabeth". Nuff said until one reads the book.

I wonder if she could win a Republican primary in Delaware. Helping ruin John Edwards' career and being a witch is better than just being a witch right?

[tpfkaw]

Would be an interesting campaign tactic - "I am a witch!"
