I won't buy the book. I find the entire episode hideous beyond belief and this is more proof of it.
..."It is lurid, as one might expect (click here) --fraught with details about Edwards and some justifications of Young's seemingly sycophantish relationship with the man ("Inside the campaigns, I found a cult-like atmosphere that eroded my ability to resist his requests for ever more extreme behavior.")...
This is about the sickest mess I have yet to witness and Young was in on it. What did they think they were doing?
If I have the chronology right it only goes to prove what I have stated all along. I don't know how many times on this blog I have stated, men leave women with breast cancer.
Elizabeth Edwards diagnosed with breast cancer

WASHINGTON — Elizabeth Edwards continued to stump through five key states in the final days of the campaign despite receiving a distressing diagnosis from her family doctor last Friday: breast cancer....
Elizabeth was diagnosed in 2004 and the affair occurred sometime in 2007 when everything around John was falling apart. He had already had an unsuccessful run for Vice President. He could not be more correct about the fact that there were two Americas and this was years before the economic engineering of Paulson. But, he was losing a campaign for a Presidential bid and he turned to the one place where he could find some success.
Surprise, surprise. He was attempting to deal with his wife's cancer and in 2008 after the baby was born Elizabeth was rediagnosed with Stage 4 breast cancer.
Something to be learned here by a book from someone who was disappointed by life when his candidate didn't own up to his own genius?
I don't reward this mess with a purchase of a book. What John Edwards needs to do is pick up the pieces of his life and get on with it. He has lost not only a son, a wife to divorce, a Vice Presidential and Presidential bid, but, a good friend that exploited what was left of his dignity.
John needs to write a book about the insight he had about the two Americas, because, the American didn't listen. The Democrats treated the Edwards message as if it was tabloid journalism itself. John needs to write, no different than Spitzer has, about the insight he had regarding the reality that cost the American taxpayer $800 billion to corporate investment banks that took their money and ran. They left the current President holding the bag to stimulate the economy and pick up the pieces of the USA and find monies GRATEFULLY to add a loan possibility to Small Businesses.
How did you know all that, John? That is what I want to know.
