Elizabeth Edwards sure has been feisty lately! I’m starting to think she’s auditioning for a seat on The View. Doesn’t she know all the seats have been filled? If Mrs. Edwards wears the pants in that marriage, I hope there’s a good return policy.

Y’all stop messin’ around and listen!’ People laugh—husbands nudge their wives…
