Elizabeth Edwards slammed for keeping husband's affair secret

If I hadn't seen it on CNN I'd think it was from The Onion.

It's an interesting window on the culture of liberal politics. Many people have been sympathetic, and then there are those who call her "complicit" and "self-serving", who say that she owes them an apology (Those comments are from a Democratic strategist and commenters at Daily Kos. If anyone can find the link to the diary and comments at DK, I'd be obliged). Because she chose to preserve any shred of privacy and dignity she could salvage? Please. The woman has kids, an incurable and spreading form of cancer, and a heel for a husband. Yet they're upset with her for, in their view, messing up what they wanted.

This is the party that's supposed to be so "empathetic".

Leave the lady alone.
