Elizabeth Edwards has published a new book that covers the years she found out she had breast cancer and that her husband is an asshole. Actually, that puts it too strongly. From the way Elizabeth tells it, John was pretty much the innocent victim of a scheming femme fatale:
It didn't occur to me that at a fancy hotel in New York, where he sat with a potential donor to his antipoverty work, he would be targeted by a woman who would confirm that the man at the table was John Edwards and then would wait for him outside the hotel hours later when he returned from a dinner, wait with the come-on line "You are so hot" and an idea that she should travel with him and make videos.
When he first fessed up, he told Elizabeth it was a one-night stand. This turned out be a lie. But he wouldn't be lying about that baby, would he?
UPDATE: Oprah put the baby question to Elizabeth, whose answer, it seems to me, suggests that it's his.
