I was not a fan of her politics but I did empathize with her pain as a BW. Her WH was beyond cruel to her.
Rest in peace Elizabeth Edwards.

It was just announced yesterday that she was stopping treatment. Most likely, that was done some time ago but the family knew she was reaching the end and so made the announcement.
Wonder how her WH is feeling now? He made that obscene promise to his homewrecker that he'd marry her when Elizabeth died and they'd have a huge wedding with rock stars to play at the reception. Well, let's see if he does - and in the meantime, I have to wonder if the homewrecker will have the nerve to say anything about the death.
Well, this WH got what he wanted - his wife is now out of the way. And now all he has is a delusional ho-bag and kids with no respect for him. Have a nice day, John.

She was a classy woman, IMSHO. Going through betrayal is bad enough but dealing with an OC and PUBLICLY is h*ll.
According to the press, JE was with her during the final hours along with their children.

I saw her photo once on the cover of a magazine. She looked so peaceful, so serene.
I hope she keeps that peace in whatever location she is now.

John needs to go away and hide. And I hope he never marries OW.

And Oprah should never have done that interview with OW -- just rubbing salt in Elizabeth's wounds.
Oprah is not a class act.

Thankfully she's retiring...when?

It kinda sickens me that John was there when she died. Does he think that made up for anything, to be there when she was leaving anyway? He didn't want her when she was alive - why act like he cares when she's on her deathbed and won't ever have to worry about actually having a relationship with her?
And Oprah herself had a married boyfriend some years ago, so that explains why she's sympathetic to people like Rielle Hunter and Julia Roberts. I haven't wasted any time watching Oprah for several years now.

She's not retiring, she's starting her own network in the new year.
I really find her tiresome and am sick of hearing about her half dozen homes, private jet and obsession with celebrities.
It's sad that so many women idolize her when she really just exploits her audience.

Given that she gives things away frequently...well, that's one reason why.

All I can think is, "What happens with her estate?" I wish her divorce had been final so she could leave her share to her children without concern about what JohnHo and the HoBag had planned. I have no idea what legal protections she put in place.
I haven't liked Oprah since her public dressing-down of James Frey. He's an addict...of course he lies, durr. That whole show made Oprah look petty and stupid, imho, and I pretty well liked her before then.
Marriage is the triumph of imagination over intelligence. Second marriage is the triumph of hope over experience.

Do you mean My Friend Leonard? Yes, I read it. He put out (another) novel after that, have not read it. I love his writing, though. He put out a book on pit bulls before MLP.
