Is there anyone lower than a person who has an affair while their spouse is battling for her life?

Question

I found John Edward's remorse and justification sorely lacking. Let's hope the voters in his state feel the same.

Answer 1

Lower than a bow-legged caterpillar.

Answer 2

Considering that he no longer holds public office, that may be difficult.

Answer 3

At the time of the affair (2006), his wife's cancer was actually in remission, so she was not battling for her life as you state. It is however unfortunate that this news broke out now that Ms. Edward's cancer is back and worse than ever. He did confess privately to her back in '06, but I still feel sad that she has to go through this public embarrassment at an already painful time in her life. I also never heard Sen. Edwards try to provide justification for the affair as you claim. In his statement he only expressed remorse.

But none of that matters, what he did was still horribly wrong, and I feel nothing but sympathy for his wife and family.

Answer 4

He really is a despicable human being, isn't he?  I would say no, there isn't anyone lower.  Holding his wife's hand and comforting her while he is dating someone else is inexcusable.  Elizabeth Edwards appears to be a gracious, kind lady, and if she stays with him it is only because they have a long history together which provides a solid enough foundation for her to stay, because she doesn't want to grow old alone, and because she wants to set an example for her children and grandchildren.  My heart goes out to her.  She must be devastated and humiliated beyond words.

I'm sure the voters in his state agree with us.  He is extremely unpopular is his state and in his own town, and this says a lot about what kind of person he is.  I'm sure none of his neighbors are surprised by this revelation, and I bet Elizabeth was the last to know.  Again, despicable

Answer 5

I DON'T THINK SO. I always liked John Edwards up to this story broke.  His poor wife and kids.  

Answer 6

**I couldn't agree with you more.  I think cheating is low enough at the best of times but while their partner is battling cancer is just terrible.  

It's his poor wife that I feel for.  I doubt that this is the first affair Edwards has had but more just the first one he's been caught out on.**

Answer 7

Perhaps he didnt consider the fact, she might beat it....... in the doghouse you go mr. edwards.

Answer 8

ARE YOU SURE YOU ARE NOT THINKING OF TERRY SHIVO?

Answer 9

No one lower than that!  

Answer 10

yes, a person that has a affair while his wife is battling cancer, and at the same time contemplates running for the presidency of this united states, knowing full well that the inquirer is on his tail, and will eventually expose him .

Answer 11

His wife being ill not withstanding, just the fact that he's an adulterer is enough.

I think he's lying about the baby too.

Answer 12

well he has needs to
