Elizabeth and John Edwards.

The Elizabeth Edwards media tour continues. Today, NBC's Today show. Tomorrow, Edwards is scheduled to be on CNN's Larry King. I know I wrote about this last week, but I still find myself drawn to this story. Here's the latest: 

WASHINGTON (AP) — Elizabeth Edwards says if she had known her husband John was having an affair rather than her initial belief that he'd had just a single betrayal, she would have strongly resisted his running for president again.Edwards said "I do love him" and also said in a nationally broadcast interview that's the reason she has remained with Edwards despite his admitted affair with videographer Reille Hunter.Edwards went on NBC's "Today" show Monday to discuss "Resilience," the book she has written about her battle with incurable breast cancer and her discovery last year that her husband had been involved in an affair with Hunter.Asked at one point if she wrote the book to strike back at her husband, Edwards said she actually had started it well before she learned that Edwards' involvement with Hunter was more than a one-night stand.Edwards said, "I only knew about a single night, a single moment of weakness." She said that if she'd known about a more involved relationship, "I probably would have been more adamant about his not running."

Have we forgotten that Hillary also had togo through these macinations before she could be taken seriously as a political force? The media and the public demands it's bucket of tears before it can move on and pay attention to serious issues. After Elizabeth Edwards goes thru her sack clothe and sahes phase, the press will get tired of it and then she can start to be listened to about important issues like health care.

She should be putting her time into loving her children as much as she can, and as long as she can before she leaves this earth; they are the ones who are most important right now. John Edwards is going to be just fine.

About Jenice Armstrong
What’s up, everyone? Welcome. Let's discuss whatever's on our minds - pop culture, relationships, politics, even the latest fashion trend. If you read my Daily News column, you know I like to mix it up: One day, it's the state of hip hop and the next, the latest political race. Also, it's always fun to try to figure out the opposite sex and check the latest trends. It’s all about learning from each other, exchanging ideas and hopefully making some changes for the better. Nothing is off limits - just keep it clean and civil.


Read more from Jenice Armstrong at Earth to Philly, the Daily News blog on anything and everything "Green."

WOULDN'T YOU love to be close enough to eavesdrop if Secretary of State Hillary Clinton ever agrees to have a cup of coffee with former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin? One can only imagine that their java summit might go something like this:
Jenice Armstrong; I think of myself as pretty frank, but there are certain opinions people are better off keeping to themselves, like when it comes to romance.

Enter Steve Ward and JoAnn Ward, Philly-area matchmakers and stars of a wildly popular new reality TV show.
Jenice Armstrong: Remember the Miss Black America pageant? Organizers want to bring it back. Should they? Or has the pageant outlived its purpose?
NEWSPAPERS have long enjoyed dueling images - one as bastions of gentlemanlike civility and the other as busy, cluttered places where gruff city editors chain-smoked and cussed out reporters whenever they felt like it.
LIKE THE TITLE character in "Precious," the new Lee Daniels' film, this 14-year-old Philadelphia girl had been raped by a relative and infected with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.
Jenice Armstrong: First lady Michelle Obama' has white cousins? Oh, my gosh! Can you believe it? Well, yeah. Just about every black American I know has white relatives.
Jenice Armstrong: It was kind of like being at a Tupperware party but instead of the focus being on plastic containers, the conversation centered on sex.
FIRST LADY Michelle Obama graces the cover of the December issue of Glamour. What's even more interesting is that in the accompanying article, she gives dating advice. Given that all the single women I know who are searching for their own version of Barack Obama, her advice is worth paying attention to.
Can't we all just get along? Not if one of us is from Philly and the other's from New York, with the Phils and Yankees squaring off tonight. Jenice Armstrong talks about how her house has been divided, and Stu Bykofsky, a Philly institution who grew up in the Bronx, has practically become a house divided against itself. Do you have New York friends, or a Yankees fan at home?
THE LAST thing Sheila Armstrong remembers about the attack was the sight of her lover hoisting a vacuum over her.
