Elizabeth Edwards

She died. Some of my Facebook friends (mostly liberals) put up some status about that. One of the comments to one of those statuses was:

Big loss for NC

And I just thought, "REALLY?"

I don't get it. Yes, it's sad when (almost) anybody dies. But why is she important? Sure, she's a tragic figure, but how is her loss "big?"

Maybe I'm just a cad.

"I'm a really good person because I care so deeply about her. I am probably a better person than you, in fact, because I took the time to suggest that her death is going to affect the entire state in some way."

The same way Ted Kennedy's death was a huge loss

to every whiskey (or whisky) distillery on the planet. I bet John wishes he would've waited until after her death to make it big in the tabloids.

John, as in John Edwards? So this is his wife?

Was she important in any way beyond being the wife of John Edwards? I've never heard of her except in that context.

While she was dying with cancer, the National Enquirer or something found out he was fucking some other woman. That's pretty much it. Oh, and she wrote (or had someone else write for her) a book, I think.

This reminds me of the Chris Rock routine where he talks about how people were calling Hillary Clinton a hero when it was revealed Bill cheated on her...
"Hillary Clinton isn't a hero. Aquaman is a hero!"

I was gonna post here that I thought she was basically a mafia wife, so I googled that:

Okay. So how is her dying a big loss if all she's done is get cancer and marry an adulterer? That describes a lot of women, I would presume.

I just don't get it.
