5. i just heard this

on my local news. how terrible.

[Generator]

6. Oh how sad, I pray and believe she'll be okay

[teh636]

7. Just saw it on MSNBC

Not good. :(

9. right wing

Just checked out what the right wing wackos are saying. Mostly saying docs won't treat her because of JE being a trial attorney. They are sick, but they never fail to say something exactly as disgusting as I would expect. It's nice to have people around you can count on.

14. Absolute pond scum

Less intelligience or compassion than a fucking amoeba.

21. Fortunately

God graced their beloved Supreme Court Chief with a case of a cancer that is usually quite curable, buit seem to be problematic for Renquist. In a timely fashion, just before this election he was struck by providence for his role in the theft of the 2000 election. May the other 4 be equally blessed.

26. Err cept O'connor, we need her to vote for Roe v Wade...

Plus I think she says that she is starting to regret her decission in Bush v Gore.

[Carolab]

25. Such wonderful morals

doncha think?

[lizzieforkerry]

8. They are officially having the worst week ever

Our prayers are with them. Does he lose his health insurance in January? (I know he is wealthy but I was just wondering)

[peaches2003]

11. Congress lose their health insurance? LOL

Not a chance that Congress would lose their insurance when they leave the Senate or House. You can be sure they get it for life. These guys' and gals' first priority is to feather their own nest and take care of themselves.

[lizzieforkerry]

10. Do you think this played a part in the concession?

[LordshipLadyship]

19. concession

I hope it did play a part, however small, because I'm really fed up with Kerry right now. A blind person could see that they messed with the Diebolds. My heart goes out to her and her family.

[LiberalTechie1337]

12. My prayers go out for her

I can't imagine how terrible it must be to see her husband lose to the Halliburton Candidate and to be diagnosed with breast cancer on the same day.

[luaneryder]

13. On top of the grief she still

carries in her heart for her son Wade.

[yvr girl]

15. It's hard to imagine a more terrible day

I've grown to admire Elizabeth Edwards so much. My prayers are with her and her family. Get well soon.

[yvr girl]

17. I'm an idiot

I just remembered something. Wednesday was far from the worst day for this family. It would be hard to top losing an election that you'd put your heart and sole into + a diagnosis of cancer but, the Edwards' have lost a child.

16. My mom had this kind

of breast cancer and so did my best friend. Two years later they are both doing good. The only thing that concerns me is that she felt a lump. Both my mom's and friend's cancer were found by mammogram and so were caught fairly early. My friend had just had a mammogram the year before diagnosis, my mom had not had one in two years, but for both it was fairly early. Because she felt a lump could mean it is further along. As my mom's doctor said, 'If you have to have cancer, this is a good kind to have.'

Wishing Mrs. Edwards the best.

[David Zephyr]

18. Wishing Only the Best To Elizabeth and Her Family Now.

I really grew to like this woman a lot during the campaign. My mom and aunts had breast cancer and survived.

20. Send Mrs.Edwards a card!

[lizzieforkerry]

23. Thanks, I will n/t

[Regice]

22. This is sad news

I sincerely hope she gets well.

[colonel odis]

24. they could have announced this a week ago and really made a

sympathy play. might have swung some votes.

the fact that they didn't say a word about it speaks volumes about what kind of people they are.

think if pickles or lynne cheney got a hangnail, they wouldn't be doing interview after interview about how they're trying to (sniff!) f-f-f-ight it (sniff! hold back tears!) each day?

the edwards are very classy people. god, i hope she gets well and gets well soon.

[GoblinToe]

27. My thoughts are with you.

I wish you the best of luck, Elizabeth.
