John Edwards Is Not the Victim In This Mess
Does John Edwards believe he was a victim of his lover’s feminine wiles?
Nope, but his wife Elizabeth thinks he was.
In her new book, Elizabeth Edward attempts to explains away her husband extramarital affair by claiming he was a victim of a predatory woman. I find this claim outrageous, and I agree completely with Melinda’s commentary.
In an interview with ABC News last year, John Edwards called the affair “a mistake that I am responsible for, and no one else.”
John Edward is gross, and I’m sure that he only admitted fault because his pollsters and advisers told him to sustain his future political ambitions.
But if Edwards wanted to give “the buck stops here” answer and move on, he could have done that. Instead, he launched into an armchair-therapist-pop-culture-self-help-book-self-analysis and explained:
“I went from being a senator… to running for president… All of which fed a self-focus, an egotism, a narcissism that leads you to believe that you can do whatever you want. You’re invincible. And there will be no consequences.”
I wish Elizabeth Edwards had watched the recent Oprah show with my new dating-guru, Steve Harvey. When asked why men cheat, his response was: 1) They can. 2) They think they can get away with it.
Forget the pop-psychology rationale; John Edwards had an affair (at least one that we know about) because he wanted to have sex with a woman who was not his wife, and he didn’t think he would get caught.
There ARE victims in this mess, and they are the Edwards’ three children. And this book just worsens the life-long public humiliation of their parents’ marriage and their father’s philandering.
As Elizabeth Edwards has said, her cancer is incurable, so I especially feel sad for the younger two children at home. I’m not a mother, but I cannot imagine why she would rather spend her remaining time on a book tour rather than at home with her children.
At the end of life, does it really matter who was at fault over an extramarital affair? And is the public airing of that answer worth taking her limited time away from what does matter: the people who love you? Not to me.
