Yesterday Elizabeth Edwards was on the View -- and it was her son's 9th birthday
Edited on Wed May-20-09 01:15 PM by karynnj
This is the first op, I have posted on the Edwards' mess. As a mother, I am stunned by this - especially as she knows she may miss many birthdays in his life. She has more control over her schedule than most of us have and given the horrendous year that whole family has had, I am genuinely shocked that she did this.
"She didn't mention her own children - Cate, Emma Claire and Jack. (Today, by the way, is Jack Edwards's birthday. He is 9.)"

I was stunned enough to verify that The View appearance was on May 19th and apparently from NYC. (http://www.theview.tv/recap/tuesday-may-19-2009 ) and at least it does appear (from at least one internet site) that this is Jack's birthday.
It seems extremely sad, that after the trauma of the last several years - from the cancer as much as their lives being turned upside down, that this little boy either spent his birthday in a NYC hotel or without his mom in NC.
Updated with the entire May 19th schedule:
May 19, 2009: ABC-TV The View
MSNBC Countdown with Keith Olberman
NPR “The Takeaway†interview
Fox Radio Network “Alan Colmes Show†interview
WNYC-AM/FM (NPR) “Leonard Lopate Show†interview

They've had QUITE enough of Elizabeth Edwards (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=5688627&mesg_id=5688627)

3. Sadly, it can be summed up with one word:
Narcissism

16. Yeah, maybe that other stellar mom, Sarah Palin, was babysitting for her?
:crazy:
Ouch! St. Elizabeth is now on par with Sarah Palin over there.

37. I think Jack was spending his birthday with the Breck girl.
WOW!!!
I guess that's what a Democrat's wife gets when she gets all uppity and decides to write a book about being ****ed over by one of the greatest frauds ever. They tell that uppity bitch to go home, be with her kids, and DIE already.

The Little Goons have a point, but for all disingenuous reasons. They have turned against the Edwards because the Edwards damaged their Satan's Work, not because the Edwards have always been despicable people.

So Liz is out hustling a book to make a living and pay her medical bills because John has run out of doctors to sue.
Hell Liz, tell'em to put a lien on the house, the kids are almost grown and you ain't gonna need it if and when the lien comes about.

They're starting to sound a lot like Dr. Laura over there.

74. Oh, please, she was a full partner in his staying away from his family
He is responsible for his personal betrayal of his wife, but they both ran for the presidency. And they both covered up his extramarital affair when it mattered. I'd love to see an interview where Elizabeth Edwards talks about how they both deceived the American voting public and betrayed the Democratic Party. That's the one I'm waiting for.
Hold your breath.
