John Will Speak Without Liz
Hofstra students and others hoping to watch former Sen. John Edwards take the stage with his wife Elizabeth will get only half the show next month.
Elizabeth Edwards was scheduled to join her husband, who has avoided the public spotlight since admitting to an extramarital affair with a campaign videographer, at a Sept. 8 speaking engagement at the Long Island, N.Y. university, reports Lorenzo Perez.
He’s embarrassed her enough. Why would she show her face anywhere with him? What I don’t understand is how there are still people out there who want to hear Edwards speak. It has been proven that the man is the louse and the cretin that people like myself have been telling you he is for some time now. It has been quite apparent to those of us who never drank the “Two Americas” kool-aid from day one. But, I’ve never been one to credit the American people with a whole lot of intelligence.
I was shocked to hear Mr. Edwards was going to continue his speaking circuit as I visualized him possibly humbled by his actions or prepping the most honest speech of his life from a more appropriate and free podium with the truth in hand. If he attempts to preach his populist agenda, ignoring the chaos around him…will and can anyone listen and take him seriously while he is still buried in his lies? Am I the only one who just doesn’t understand how this family ticks? Also why have so few commented on-line about this latest Edwards’ move?
