Elizabeth Edwards Cyber-Slags John's Mistress

Share

(Newser) – An irate Elizabeth Edwards is taking borderline-anonymous shots at her husband's former mistress in blog comments. The disgraced ex-senator's wife lambastes Rielle Hunder using the pseudonym "Cherubim"—which makes it easy for insiders to guess her identity. "It's Elizabeth," a source tells Rush & Molloy of the Daily News. "She's used 'cherubim' as a password. Look at the gravestone of their son Wade: It's an angel holding a boy."

In other creepy Edwards affair news, details of former aide Andrew Young's book proposal continue to leak. He's apparently taking "tell-all" literally, and is prepared to spill about John Edwards' other extramarital liaisons, Hunter's dependence on a psychic for life advice, and her reaction when John canceled a date after learning Elizabeth's cancer had recurred: "An unsympathetic Hunter screamed at him."

Poor Elizabeth. Not only could the pig John not have the decency to wait, but he bagged the typical skank bonehead: "An unsympathetic Hunter screamed at him." No doubt. Skanks who agree to cheat are all of the same boneheaded stamp. They think they are so "special" and they are just the bottom of the barrel scum who have no idea they are being used like a rag. The saddest part of all is the skank got pregnant. Poor child.

A sad story. Saddest I think for all those women who looked up to Edwards and his family and supported him. But for his reckless and dishonest presidential campaign, I believe that we'd have had our first woman president in 2008 (and our first African American Vice-President.)

Sorry guys, I am fresh out of sympathy for someone who seems to be just milking it and not doing a thing but paying lip service to the entire mess. She would have put him out like the alley cat he is if not for the $$$ and fame/power
