This may have been posted here before, since it's old news, but it was new to me today. Also, it was in the Daily Mail, so take that as you will.

It was also posted on MSNBC, and other news sources.

My heart really goes out to this poor woman. Palin, for all her faults, is keeping a child who will always have problems. McCain would have thrown it over the fence, or something. All the Republican lectures on morals and values and no one says boo about a philandering jackass who abandons an injured wife and their children. How the heck is he sucking people into his web? I don't get it. If people are going to get all worked up about marriage being 'redefined', why don't they give a shit about it being respected as it is, by those who have entered into it?

I have always felt bad for Carol. I personally can not understand not standing by someone you love. She did stand behind him, wait for, loved him while he was a POW.

I posted it on a couple of other forums and got my head chewed off. Apparently it was ok for him (after all, he had just returned from being a POW), but not Edwards.
