 Call me mean, but I can&#39;t say that I would be any different.  She didn&#39;t ask for all of this humiliation and I&#39;m pretty damn sure she is having trouble accepting the possibility of this being John Edwards&#39; child.   Truth be told, most women would have kicked his sorry ass out after the news broke.  It&#39;s not like she needs the money.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;We all already know that this book is going to be a bestseller.  Maybe she wrote it to make sure her kids are financially secure in case John loses everything one day behind his whorish ways.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Why now?  Then when?  She&#39;s terminally ill and wants everyone to know how she feels.  She has a right to be heard and not just him speaking for her with that good guy look of his (I use to be such a John Edwards fan.)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Why is it that whenever the man screws up, there always a backlash to the woman as if she was either the blame, or if it&#39;s later, she is causing trouble for herself.  The sad part is that most of these ridiculous remarks came from OTHER WOMEN!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Leave Elizabeth Edwards Alone!  Let her say whatever the hell she wants to say in HER BOOK.  Let her tell HER STORY with or without a reason.  If it helps heal her hurt feelings, who are we to jump in and stop the process?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;If someone cared enough about our past to offer us a book deal, we would be telling our stories too.  You know I&#39;m right.  Where do I sign?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;To everyone who doesn&#39;t understand why she&#39;s doing this, &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;SHUT THE F%#@ UP.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;YOU DON&#39;T NEED TO UNDERSTAND! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://justramblingrants.blogspot.com/feeds/9015948446699655918/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://justramblingrants.blogspot.com/2009/05/leave-elizabeth-edwards-alone.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8176720887881497894/posts/default/9015948446699655918'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8176720887881497894/posts/default/9015948446699655918'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://justramblingrants.blogspot.com/2009/05/leave-elizabeth-edwards-alone.html' title='LEAVE ELIZABETH EDWARDS ALONE!'/><author><name>Bo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07746886305847457436</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqX34K-NXLRTlS082BQ3Y5G54UDZ26FeTrjJA7VeKB_xeL1bzSohxYKBd-QJppspLvPnjFwMzulFYTnv4DsBYnl8CoPdEr2WzfjnYCP6u2f3NHEQ1v7QWyTkHcW-EeBCU/s220/Sunrise2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijKe3k68uK7lblu746U1HxxRDCAQvJfFIhyphenhyphenJwV1cK-4xgWyuNl_VhmdCQaMosb5uWzpx6H5xzBw_aTuz26RpwkUc7ZGjbi5Z5GapujwD1CeYl4MDGMCLonHJdQwDdyhQEKcVybdK6_v0w/s72-c/Edwards_Elizabeth.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176720887881497894.post-2169765208671020883</id><published>2009-05-04T00:37:00.004-05:00</published><updated>2009-05-04T00:41:06.744-05:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Barack Obama"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Michelle Obama"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="President Obama"/><title type='text'>Have we ever seen this?</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot;

Tonight, we found out why President-elect Obama and his family are in a hotel. Apparently, this major event was for a one night visitor (okay, it might be longer but what&#39;s the difference?) who is the&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;former &lt;/strong&gt;p&lt;/em&gt;rime minister of Australia, John Howard. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;What the hell??????? Are you f*&amp;amp;%$@* kidding me? Damn Bush! Haven&#39;t you made an ass of yourself enough? And he may have been booked &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;after&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; the Obama family requested to move in early so that their daughters could start school on time? With 119 rooms and 35 bathrooms, do you think that any of them would have even run into the other? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;Here you are, the sitting President of The United States, as powerful as that may be, and recently a reporter threw his shoes at you TWICE! And you have the audacity to kick someone to the curb with that &quot;&lt;em&gt;wait until it&#39;s your time boy&quot; &lt;/em&gt;attitude? Didn&#39;t you think we would find out? Shouldn&#39;t you be trying to repair that ugly image you&#39;ve been wearing? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;Your time can&#39;t be over soon enough. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#990000;&quot;&gt;Good riddance!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://justramblingrants.blogspot.com/feeds/3575925255306444209/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://justramblingrants.blogspot.com/2009/01/no-room-at-inn.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8176720887881497894/posts/default/3575925255306444209'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8176720887881497894/posts/default/3575925255306444209'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://justramblingrants.blogspot.com/2009/01/no-room-at-inn.html' title='No Room At The Inn'/><author><name>Bo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07746886305847457436</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqX34K-NXLRTlS082BQ3Y5G54UDZ26FeTrjJA7VeKB_xeL1bzSohxYKBd-QJppspLvPnjFwMzulFYTnv4DsBYnl8CoPdEr2WzfjnYCP6u2f3NHEQ1v7QWyTkHcW-EeBCU/s220/Sunrise2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzON9sLvi7cIEXAWU-1a0zV2DB26ejuAfDX6OlkQlzagg8QB1sVYbV55SuegP8IJgnU9Pz6pznVdZPk2Yr_vx3DHxjioaHo7n6U3otvWclPiIQa_8qZTAvWdUcwjZxR4JNZDYmmeEXfAc/s72-c/blairhousefacade_600.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176720887881497894.post-6888088506626907724</id><published>2009-01-06T11:27:00.004-06:00</published><updated>2009-01-06T16:11:26.783-06:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="bizarre"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="funny"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="skier"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="skiing"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="weird"/><title type='text'>BIZARRE:  Pantless Skier</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv6HLRBpKFJ_MHqlgjh_UTTzZ3-0khIBeaSeMWnlAs8O0roYWT6h0EV5-Kn2ibs0ul6oSat57Zaj61viF1j79uUk5spOFK7nClXR6qX9bE51wf2DKw1BFXwxsfCbbhpbJslXQtoV6MZUo/s1600-h/0106091vail1.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5288235437460143570&quot; style=&quot;DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 233px; TEXT-ALIGN: center&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv6HLRBpKFJ_MHqlgjh_UTTzZ3-0khIBeaSeMWnlAs8O0roYWT6h0EV5-Kn2ibs0ul6oSat57Zaj61viF1j79uUk5spOFK7nClXR6qX9bE51wf2DKw1BFXwxsfCbbhpbJslXQtoV6MZUo/s320/0106091vail1.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/years/2009/0106091vail1.html&quot;&gt;A skier at Colorado&#39;s ritzy Vail resort was left dangling upside down and pantsless from a chairlift last Friday morning.
