Rielle Hunter classifies Elizabeth Edwards as "crazy" and "venomous" in new memoir.

Classless is as classless does. Gross. I'm glad Elizabeth is not alive to read this tripe. SMDH.

Excerpts released earlier this week showed how much Hunter despised Elizabeth, who died in December 2010.
She described “Johnny’s” wife as a “witch on wheels,” “crazy” and “venomous.”

had a cache of mistresses and possibly a child from an affair, I might be a wee bit crabby when dealing with others from time to time. Elizabeth had cancer, was traveling with her husband on a grueling campaign trail schedule, and then to put the cherry on the shit sundae, she found out he had a child from an extramarital affair. I think she was entitled to be a little bit bitchy every now and then, if you ask me.

A little bit of projection, I think, on Ms Hunter's part.

Psychological projection or projection bias is a psychological defense mechanism where a person subconsciously denies his or her own attributes, thoughts, and emotions, which are then ascribed to the outside world, usually to other people.

off spring with "Johnny".

Lisa Druck aka "Rielle the narcissist" seemingly forgot, that Elizabeth Edwards left three children behind when she died of cancer? These children are siblings of her love child. Her book did not honor anyone. It demonstrated the mentality of a man "Hunter" who gets sick, pleasure from f*cking other people's husbands.

Hey "Rielle" - I'd be a crazy bitch if my husband cheated on me, too.

That she was just horrible to John Edwards. Domineering, condescending, dismissive and the like. Do you trust the authors of that book?

If we're going to believe the Sarah Palin stuff as gospel then we pretty much have to believe this too, right?

At the end of the day it's an irrelevancy really.

I realize Elizabeth Edwards was "human" but calling her a crazed, venomous bitch, does not fall under the "just human" category. Though, I believe that Elizabeth Edwards was an extraordinary human being. Lastly, her widowed husband's trashy, mistress, is not a reliable source of information.

would say. After being knee deep involved with a cheating bastard and his slut girlfriend, they say the same about me. But let me assure the nasty trailer trash that they have NOT seen the depths of my crazy yet.

I'd like to posthumously tell you Elizabeth, I would have kicked her damned ass for you.

And to Rielle...her reaction was not necessarily about you--even though you think you are "that" important"...this is about a marriage that you helped to destroy. She has every right to be angry. You should hide yourself in shame rather than attack her while she is dead.

Just goes to show what a lowlife classless scumbag you REALLY are.

cheating with a married man, is show what a nasty, pos she is. And now that she has shown the world her true character, all I can say is that Elizabeth Edwards must have been a saint. I never heard her speak publicly about this woman the way she is doing now about a woman who is no longer here to defend herself. You can't get much lower than this.

But anything Elizabeth may have said or done in private to either her cheating husband or his mistress, wasn't nearly enough imho.

Does she really think that by trashing Elizabeth like this anyone is going to sympathize with her? The last time she did it, it didn't go very well either.

Edwards should stand up for his wife and tell the world what a horrible mistake he made, he should do it for his children. But so far he has allowed this woman to trash the mother of his children without saying a word in her defense.
