You decide?

[waiting for hope]

1. Ya know Catch -

This is a place where some of us can still come together and discuss what was good about Edwards. If you really want traction on something like that, post it in GD or GDP.

7. Apologies ! I was wrong....

...see how easy that is :hug:

OK, there is no way I'll go back into the snakepit with raw meat against JRE, I thought we could duke it out here, so sorry, I now know that was a mistake.

Oh, and those of you who have my email address (hint: same as the Ed Sullivan Theater), I've really had a sh*tty year with "MY HERO Sh*theads".

AND, found out Eugene Robinson is one of them too..won't post the link but a recent article is to the Afghan troops' Generals, Shut Up and Salute. Just F**king great.

Just celebrated my 5th year on DU, I just can't quit ya'll :grouphug: PM me. I'll keep checking back.

2. I know you will probably disagree but why the heck would anyone believe Young?

Even if what part of what he says is true, he seems to have demonstrated that he will do anything for money. That puts anything he says into doubt, particulary when writing a scandal ridden hit piece.

3. Apparently it's because...

... he's supposed to know JRE very well. He's worked for him since he first ran for the Senate eleven years ago. JRE even dedicated his book "Four Trials" to him and his wife.
He also has a rather lengthy criminal record... about ten minor DUIs. That plus the reputational damage he says he's suffered, can't be helping his employability. It may have been that the only way he could have gotten steady employ was through JRE's patronage. So damn right, I believe he's after money.

That being said, it's been almost sadistic the way the details have been run-- designed to make a mockery of the little moments JRE and EE have shared with each other, and little personal touches that made us love them.
Not to mention, timed in a suspicious way... yesterday on the EE News link on Benny05's page, there was a link to some nasty trash involving blog catfights... posted THE SAME DAY Elizabeth was scheduled to speak at the UNC-TV NC Bookwatch about "Resilience".

AY and Elizabeth don't get along. She once accused him of stealing Wade's baseball cards. That is unforgivable in the Edwards household, if true.
And if he has any hand in these media blitzes, the level of callousness (even sadism?) he's displaying is truly vile. So much that I don't think JRE's biggest mistake was the affair, or even covering it up.

It was picking and keeping AY as a friend.

4. I understand about all that I just wonder why Catch might agree

because she is very angry.
I was horrified that EE has been attacked in the manner she has been. One can distinguish writing style and NO way is the blogger cherubim EE. Cherubim was posting about JRE way before the scandal broke, and honestly, the writing style is not comparable to Elizabeth and she would never have the time.Personally, because cherubim has been everywhere, I think it is more than one person.
And another thing, if Elizabeth does ever publicly criticize RH or express contempt for her, so what" RH is trash and I am sickened by this defense of her.

5. Taking the side of the wrong one

RH is trash and I am sickened by this defense of her.

See what I mean about sociopaths coming out smelling like a rose, and looking better to the public than their victims?

[saracat]

6. It just infuriates me. I won't argue whether RH is sociopath

or not as I am no therapist , however I do believe those special interests who benefit from the lack of a peoples spokes person are now turning their guns on Elizabeth. Elizabeth had stepped up to defend health care, and the public option. No surprise she has to be diminished. We can't have any Edwards have any clout.
