Despite the Cleveland Plain Dealer's earlier reports that she had passed away, it now appears she is alive but in critical condition.
Update: Fox is now reporting that this rumor was wrong. As they say, the reports of her death are greatly exaggerated. She is apparently in critical condition. Our thoughts and prayers are with her and her family.

CNN's Howard Kurtz Rebukes MSNBC's Mitchell |

Media expert Howard Kurtz said MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell acted unwisely in passing on the Obama conspiracy theory that McCain cheated at the Saddleback forum in his weekly WaPo chat.
"Mitchell's defense is that she was just repeating a charge made by Obama aides," Kurtz wrote. "I would not have raised it without evidence, or at least without someone from the Obama camp going on the record. Otherwise you're just giving them a free shot without his campaign having to back it up."

I'm in the CNN green room right now waiting for an 8:45pm hit. I've been chatting with Matthew Felling, who is a ton of fun. We're on together, should be a fun segment. We're going to discuss the John Edwards affair on air.

Elizabeth is angrier at the National Enquirer than her husband. Posted on Daily Kos.
Our family has been through a lot. Some caused by nature, some caused by human weakness, and some - most recently - caused by the desire for sensationalism and profit without any regard for the human consequences. None of these has been easy. But we have stood with one another through them all. Although John believes he should stand alone and take the consequences of his action now, when the door closes behind him, he has his family waiting for him.
John made a terrible mistake in 2006. The fact that it is a mistake that many others have made before him did not make it any easier for me to hear when he told me what he had done. But he did tell me. And we began a long and painful process in 2006, a process oddly made somewhat easier with my diagnosis in March of 2007. This was our private matter, and I frankly wanted it to be private because as painful as it was I did not want to have to play it out on a public stage as well. Because of a recent string of hurtful and absurd lies in a tabloid publication, because of a picture falsely suggesting that John was spending time with a child it wrongly alleged he had fathered outside our marriage, our private matter could no longer | | |
