The soap opera saga of John Edwards continues. Elizabeth Edwards in her new memoir, discusses the devastating affair between Rielle Hunter and her husband.  After the former presidential hopeful confessed his betrayal, Elizabeth Edwards writes in her new book, “I cried and screamed, I went to the bathroom and threw up.”

The book highlights Elizabeth Edwards’ anger and sorrow at being duped by a man whose four children she’d borne and whose political ambitions she’d passionately supported for so many years. Hunter initially seduced Edwards using a worn come-on line, Elizabeth writes:  “You are so hot,” Hunter told him outside a swank New York hotel. The campaign ultimately paid Hunter $114,000 to produce a batch of short films on his candidacy. Seriously? That’s all it took?  She lashes out at Hunter, now 45, whose name she never actually uses in the book, as a parasitic groupie who invaded the Edwards’ life. Her own life may be tragic, she concludes, but Hunter’s is “pathetic.”
