I had dinner once with John and Elizabeth Edwards, when he first burst onto the national scene.


Looking across the booth at her grinning, boyish husband, she told me that it was irritating to be married to someone so comely who looked so much younger.


She was smiling, but she was telling the truth

Elizabeth Edwards would have made a wonderful candidate herself. But she poured everything into John.

But now Saint Elizabeth has dragged him back into the public square for a flogging on “Oprah” and in Time and at bookstores near you.

She may be smart, but she doesn’t seem to know much about men.


Asked by Oprah in a taping for Thursday’s show whether she’s still in love with her husband, she replied, “You know, that’s a complicated question.”


The really complicated question is what she hopes to gain from this book.
