(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."

What disappoints me is that Elizabeth knew of the affair before Edwards ran for President! You don't run for President if you had a recent affair & a baby! If he had won the nomination he would have lost & put the country in the hands of another reckless party.

and how soon we forget of the repubs and their little falls from grace. how's about the recent sen. john ensign and his tangled mess? or the gov. sanfords long walk to argentina on the applachian trail? not party specific these sordid affairs, just more common among the repubs.
