"That I dug my key into the side of his pretty little souped up four wheel drive" -- Carrie Underwood

Elizabeth Edwards leaves husband John out of will

John Edwards, Elizabeth Edwards
– 1 hr 7 mins ago

HILLSBOROUGH, N.C. – The will Elizabeth Edwards signed days before her death last month makes no mention of her estranged husband and two-time presidential candidate John Edwards.

The News & Observer of Raleigh reported Thursday that Elizabeth Edwards left all her possessions to her three surviving children.

Her last will and testament names as the executor of her estate her eldest child, lawyer Cate Edwards.

Elizabeth Edwards died Dec. 7, six days after she signed the will filed in Orange County Superior Court in North Carolina.

The Edwardses separated early last year after 32 years of marriage. John Edwards admitted he fathered a child during an affair with a former campaign worker.



Is it wrong that when I heard this story this morning on the radio, I smiled?

    I only smiled on the inside, so if it's wrong, my ass is covered.

    No, it's not wrong at all.

    I used to Carrie Underwood was singing "legacy" instead of "leather seats" in this song.

    Not only did John Edwards betray his wife but he also betrayed his eldest daughter by having her become responsible for two children when she is supposed to be building her own life. I'm sure she is dedicated to her task and loves her siblings dearly. Much more than their father.

    Not only I smiled, but I said "NICE!" He deserved this. So, my (biased or not) opinion is that no, it is not wrong at all. Just a little bit of justice.

    Apparently you're in a not-so-exclusive club. I've met the man; sucks she had to go through that for 32 years..

    It's not wrong at all to smile at something like that.

    Well, unless he spent it all when he was campaigning, he's filthy rich anyway. It won't hurt him a bit not to get her money.

    I was delighted. I also think it would've been good if she'd left money and arrangements for a pile of dog poo to be put on his doorstep once a week.

    Good for her. Maybe Rielle can leave something for John when she goes.

    Revenge at it's finest. Her daughters should be proud. But honestly, I would have been more surprised if it HAD mentioned him...
