Along comes proof that a liberal Democrat always has another step lower to go:
…When Elizabeth (Edwards) learned in March 2007 that her breast cancer had returned, it became part of the couple’s political calculations in his presidential run, according to Edwards’ former aide Andrew Young who has written a tell-all book “The Politician.” The book will be released Jan. 30.
“Once Elizabeth was diagnosed with cancer … within 12 hours they were openly talking about how her cancer prognosis was going to help them in the polls,” Young told ABC News’ Bob Woodruff in an exclusive interview.
In a statement to ABC News, Elizabeth denied the accusation, calling it “unconscionable, hurtful and patently false.”
Though the cancer had spread to her bones and was incurable, the couple made the dramatic decision to stay in the 2008 presidential campaign.
“The things that were most disturbing about the Edwards to me in these later years, was that nothing was sacred. They openly talked about [their son] Wade’s death as one of their motivators for running and why he ran… They used [their children] Jack and Emma openly as campaign props,” Young said.
Just as you can’t get blood out of a turnip, you can’t get integrity out of trial lawyers. This was the left’s hero until Obama came along – and let us now be a bit thankful for Obama. It would have been a very dark night for America if Edwards was President.
