elizabeth edwards as she is making her round of interviews and she started by talkies matt
lauer the today show
and uh... we have tidbits of the interview that i found the most interesting them and
we're going to start off with the first video where she talks about how she has no regrets
marrying john edwards
all-inclusive
your marriage energy i wasted my time anything here tonight
thrown this part of my life away and i decided that i didn't fit maybe i didn't get the same
things out of it i expected to do it i thought i was at the time
but i look back at his money lots of blessings that i had um... i've had the opportunity
eager to have peace great children i've had wonderful friends i've had experiences that
you know really couldn't be replaced and opportunities to talk about things that matter to me what
when the when the story of john's at their first came to let you were told by john and
correct me if i'm wrong but this was basically a one-night stand up it was not i'd thought
that
throughout the campaign
um... uh... about that for much longer than mustard one o'clock reasonable but i guess
i didn't get pat how did you learn what we all know now that this was much more of a
relationship and in fact there was
are so it goes on on a cut yet so that i think it's just a minute long interview and throughout
the entire interview
sheep says almost nothing disparaging about john edwards it's amazing she keeps a very
positive attitude even considering the fact that she has a terminal illness even considering
the fact that she was married to john edwards for thirty two years she was very very simple
and very optimistic throughout the entire interview and i thought that was incredible
alright it i'd love which he said because i don't like this idea that if u goal out
with someone who you're mad with someone for expiry date time
if it doesn't reach the right conclusion of the and that the entire think in hindsight
was wasted at os should be white from the records all the good times that you had don't
count
as if you never lived a i still believe in that i believe
uh... what it was with edward says
look passing grade kids like great times and are these activities
in the adnan he changed
and so that sucks but
but i have but i like the rest of it that that that is exactly what she said she said
you know i i i believe
admitted a marvelous
and and that over time he changed and perhaps we all change
that's exactly what she said and i thought that was a very classy answer that nothing
but classes over uh... now
of course not lower begins to ask her about rielle hunter
surprisingly the class continues
so have we have fears of an illicit well you mean that skank
that's school like u_n_ hearts
that the one you're talking about manny would be very difficult to restrain myself but she
did a great job doing sell so we have that the second video and here she stuck not real
myself
find myself went when i watched rio hunter on oprah winfrey inorder kept thinking wednesday
wonderful news which is watching this
actually watched it later did much again
and at the end i didn't watch the whole thing but i did watch some of it
image it's impossible not to patent roger diaz a meal here after the house i am not
many ask questions about it
and at first i didn't watch it and i thought well that's silly what you think
um...
that i still think this person is so completely unlike me
it's hard to imagine same person
couldn't marry me and be attracted to batter that woman is well in the last year a couple
of books have been written elizabeth if it were not kind to you at all in for young wrote
a book john's long-time aide it's another book called game changing in april although
they talk about a lot of things
that day they describe you in some ways is um... intrusive
and manipulative
and and i'm curious if your reaction when you first heard
those descriptions
were any with this this heart of course to any kind of criticism
uh... i wasn't particularly worried about anything that injury young said his um...
ok i don't mind saying that his book is just it's not that you have a good story tell he
did
but evite is so filled with lies that it's good that it's uh... that i don't consider
having any bearing whatsoever under trees treated with respect to me
sial skywards opportunities prepared to go crazy
and say attentive negative things right for rielle hunter and also uh... that you authors
who wrote about her in their books
both the answers i just really like the way she handle those questions i what i think
that there's a lot of strength in that
story virtually stagnant that all the criticisms in uh...
the book
were helpful because that need to realize hey maybe i was too harsh who says that merits
of the reason why i'm so impressed with it is because a lot of people would either dodge
the question uh... are very small minority of people me included would say something
negative about those people and have been convicted
uh... but that she actually
eight she actually went above and beyond and try to find the positives and negatives i
mean whether it has to do with john edwards whether it had to do with the affair whether
it had to do with the books that were written about her
name specific positives that she found out of those negative uh... instances the question
is do you believe it
until after the accident you're more skeptical oblique
workfare services his alarm rising health products
started to look at them again but but come on the issues matter to partisanship monthly
gain
much of modern
a good image of ourself as best as she
and i'm not technically she is the victim
she is a little screwed over two years although these issues and it's still got screwed over
so it is an important position
act like the same play i have no problem with that but
she's playing it one of
of somewhere between i think of course there's a little bit at the same time
she probably means a lot
or kidnap having said that uh... it did you get a slight bit reality i think that's what
has taken up on
uh... were completely different people
yes they also said that and then she correct itself by saying that woman
but i contacted and then she's like
that you can believe it or meeting
i'm smart no apartment that was a being that in day so what they've done it to you know
my of laura and i have a safe about immediate loser for and that he read between a lot manager
