Misplaced Criticism

Edwards' Wife Criticized for Silence on Affair

Raleigh, N.C. (AP) - Two weeks after a devastating revelation sent her husband into political exile, Elizabeth Edwards isn't getting the steady sympathy usually afforded to a woman scorned.

Instead, she's faced criticism from dedicated Democrats who think she was too willing to keep the affair a secret to help John Edwards' political ambitions, as well as her own.

Sen. John Edwards' behavior is despicable. He had the affair. He kept it quiet. He lied about it on a number of occasions. Let's back off on Mrs. Edwards.

John "the silky pony" is fair game. Have at it.
