The video includes highlights from John and Elizabeth Edwards’s Tonight Show appearance last night. Elizabeth, who looked great and said she feels great, gave an impassioned response to a Leno question about the mixed reaction the Edwardses received from the media after deciding to continue on with the presidential campaign after her diagnosis with incurable breast cancer, stating at one point, “And honestly, people who have been in the same situation all do what we do. Just grab hold of life as hard as they can and do everything they can to make whatever days they’ve got left mean something.”
On the lighter side, Leno questioned Elizabeth about whether she hangs out with “some of the other spouses like Michelle Obama or Bill Clinton” at campaign functions. John Edwards also garnered laughs by poking fun at his highly publicized $400 haircut.
Thank you Brad for giving me some tv to watch. (It isn’t something I do anymore.)
I am a supporter of John and Elizabeth, and I think it is on occasions like this that their genuine humanity shines.
On another matter, Raw Story says ES&S doesn’t have to release its “proprietary” machine code. Bummer.
