Elizabeth Edwards Dies At Age 61

CNN has announced that Elizabeth Edwards, the popular estranged wife of 2008 Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards, has succumbed to cancer. A family spokesperson has issued a statement requesting donations to her cancer foundation in lieu of flowers. Edwards was an ardent supporter of the LGBT community and often advocated on our behalf. Good As You reminds us of the below speech.

Scandal For John Edwards?

The National Enquirer is sticking to a story it posted last night which claims that NC Sen. John Edwards has been cheating on his ailing-from-cancer wife and has fathered a "love child" with documentarian Reille Hunter. According to the story, on Monday night Enquirer reporters caught Edwards sneaking in and out of Hunter's hotel room in Los Angeles, causing the Senator to flee and hide in a bathroom for 15 minutes.

At 9:45 p.m. (PST) Monday, Edwards appeared at the hotel, and was dropped off at a side entrance. NATIONAL ENQUIRER reporter Alan Butterfield witnessed the ex-senator get out of a BMW driven by a male companion and stroll into the hotel.

Said Butterfield: "Edwards was not carrying anything. He walked in alone. He was wearing a blue dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up. He was looking around nervously before he entered the hotel.

"Once inside, he interestingly bypassed the lobby and ducked down a side stairs to go to the bottom floor to catch the elevator up - rather than taking the elevator in the main lobby. He went out of his way not to be seen."

Meanwhile, Rielle had reserved rooms 246 and 252 under the name of the friend who had accompanied her from Santa Barbara, Bob McGovern. Rielle was in one room and McGovern was in another with her baby. This allowed her and Edwards to spend time alone, a source revealed.

Edwards went out of the hotel briefly with Rielle, they were observed by the NATIONAL ENQUIRER and then went back to her room, where he stayed until attempting to sneak out of the hotel unseen at 2:40 a.m. (PST). But when he emerged alone from an elevator into the hotel basement he was greeted by several reporters from the NATIONAL ENQUIRER.

Senior NATIONAL ENQUIRER Reporter Alexander Hitchen asked Edwards why he was visiting Rielle and whether he was ready to confirm that he was the father of her baby.

Shocked to see a reporter, and without saying anything, Edwards ran up the stairs leading from the hotel basement to the lobby. But, spotting a photographer, he doubled back into the basement. As he emerged from the stairwell, reporter Butterfield questioned him about his hookup with Rielle.

Edwards did not answer and then ran into a nearby restroom. He stayed inside for about 15 minutes, refusing to answer questions from the NATIONAL ENQUIRER about what he was doing in the hotel. A group of hotel security men eventually escorted him from the men's room, while preventing the NATIONAL ENQUIRER reporters from following him out of the hotel.

While the story of this affair has been rumored for many months, if today's revelations are true, it's very disappointing. If it's true, it will likely be devastating to Edward's political career.

All the major gossip sites are on the story. Go check out Gawker, Drudge Report, ect.

Mrs. Edwards: Always Quotable

"We can’t make John black, we can’t make him a woman. Those things get you a certain amount of fundraising dollars.” - Elizabeth Edwards, speaking about reasons her husband may receive less media attention and fewer campaign donations than Obama and Clinton. Mrs. Edwards continues to deliver better quotes than her husband, doesn't she?

Tuesday, on John Gibson's Fox News program, his executive producer said that Edwards has "whored his wife's cancer as a political gimmick", and went on to call Edwards a "pansy" and a "Breck girl" (the wingnuts new favorite term for Edwards, due to that famous $300 haircut.) Pathetic.

Mrs. Edwards Gets It

"This president talks a lot about good and evil and the need to seek out evil doers. But he doesn't seem to recognize the evil in hate crimes. The right to live without the fear of being murdered for whom we love is not a special right." - Elizabeth Edwards. Why isn't SHE running?

Gay Marriage Splits Edwards Household

"I don't know why somebody else's marriage has anything to do with me. I'm completely comfortable with gay marriage. If he's pleasant to me on the street, if his children don't throw things in my yard, then I'm happy. It seems to me we're making issues of things that honestly don't matter." - Elizabeth Edwards, wife of Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards, speaking to reporters after her keynote speech to San Francisco's Alice B. Toklas LGBT Democratic Club. Her husband responded by saying that he loves the way his wife always speaks her mind, but that he continues to only support civil unions for gay couples.
