A family friend says Elizabeth Edwards has died of cancer.

The estranged wife of former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards died in North Carolina Tuesday at 10:15 a.m., according to the friend who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the family had not announced her death.

The family had issued a statement Monday that said doctors have told Edwards that further treatment for her cancer would be unproductive. She spent her last days at home in North Carolina with family and friends gathered.

Why is it that the douchebaggery half of the relationship always seems to be the 1/2 that runs for president?

Which half applies to the Clintons?

Anyway, Mrs. Edwards was a gracious lady who put up with a lot, accomplished much, and died too young. R.I.P.

A church that pickets funerals to protest what it calls American immorality says its members will be picketing the service this Saturday for Elizabeth Edwards, who died of breast cancer on Tuesday.

Based in Topeka, Kan., the Westboro Baptist Church said it would be outside the Edenton Street United Methodist Church in Raleigh, N.C., during the funeral for the former wife of one-time vice presidential candidate John Edwards.

Westboro members, led by the Rev. Fred Phelps, have also picketed military funerals to make their point that U.S. deaths in Afghanistan and Iraq are punishment for Americans' immorality, including tolerance of homosexuality and abortion.

Signs like "Thank God for Dead Soldiers" have been raised at military funerals, and the church announced its latest action with a press release titled "God hates Elizabeth Edwards."

I hope someday to piss on Fred Phelps' corpse when he finally bites the dust.
