Are you kidding me?

This article makes me absolutely crazy mad.

How in the world can you blame Elizabeth Edwards for not making her husband's affair public? Are you kidding me? She didn't tell becuase she knew that her PRIVATE, FAMILY matter would be spread all across the news and analyzed, and exploited! The 24-hour news stations love a good story because they a-l-w-a-y-s need something to talk about. Well, this story didn't belong to them, it belonged to her. Yes, an affair says an awful lot about someone's character, but get real - there are plenty of people in this world who have skeletons in their closet, and plenty of them have held public office. This wasn't our story - it was hers. Just because you have decided to give your life to public service does not mean that your private life becomes everyone else's business. This woman knows that she will die of cancer far before her time, and still works as a champion for health care and is a fine example of an American woman. His affair and her ability to mend the damage to their marriage says so much about her character. Shame on those who would blame her for keeping her private life private!
