And we're sure she'll have some inneresting tidbits to share!

Elizabeth Edwards has granted the Today show her first TV interview since the separation from her husband of 30 years, John Edwards.

In the segment, which will air Thursday morning, Elizabeth is candid with Matt Lauer about her failed marriage. She even likens herself to Sandra Bullock.

She said:

"I think about Sandra Bullock … . And yet, the stories you hear are not about all those great successes, but about the failure of her marriage. … I thought that's not who she is. I don't know her but I assume she wants to reclaim who she is in the same way I want to reclaim who I am

I think he [John] changed over time. I think it was sort of hard for me to see it or admit it for a very long time. But he changed. … And he's no longer the person who I married. I still admire an enormous number of things about him."

Watch the clip (above) for a sneak peek!

Aww. Ugh, you can't help but feel for her. Stay strong, honey.

      No family values in this family?
      Aren't 'family values' for parochial Republicans?
      -
      I don't feel sorry for her.
      She knew everything before they went campaigning and lying to everyone.
      If Edwards made the presidency, this could have been disastrous for the country. Just like the Obamas.
      -
      No, none, zero, nada vetting done of ANY Democrat candidates by the media, EXCEPT the National Fucking Enquirer.
      The media should be shot for what they have brought on this country.
      -
      Elizabeth, how come you're not dead yet, with that cancer thing?
      Exploiting another "feel sorry moment" for me stunt?
      Pitiful people who enter government now.
      -
      The Republican women have many new strong faces appearing that will kick these slimeballs to the curb.

      Oh she only realized that she was married to a narcissist when the marriage ended? I'm not buying it. We all have to take responsibility for our choices.

      This woman needs to get on with her life. This constant boo hoo, look at me, poor me act is getting old. She is not, will not be the only woman that her husband cheated on. She is also not the only Cancer striken wife that has gone thru this. Most people, that are not emotionally needy like her, go on with their lives, they don't re live the past. They don't constantly sling mud on their exes. The way I see it, with all her crying, her husband had enough reason to run as fast he could from her, she is a nag. Not to defend a cheating husband, something that Edwards is to the max, I don't see him going to the media to whine and whine and give meaningless interviews about the ups and downs of their private life together. Only she does, like a well trained gossipy woman with too much money and too much time on her hands. Go find something to do lady, pick up the pieces of your life, without telling the whole world, and make yourself a better one.

      difference is, Sandra's not blabbing away to the media about her failed marriage…….take notes……….



    5. 5

      This woman has a lot of people fooled. She is a tyrant who abuses staff and friends for personal gain. She uses her cancer and the death of her son when it suits her agenda. She's a bitch. Period.



    6. 6

      I admire the courage and audacity that she has.



    7. 7

      Re: bryanlizza – idiot. She has barely spoken about it.



    8. 8

      Re: luvstotango – such stupidity. You think bush was vetted? You think Palin was vetted? you want a woman who was listed as one of the top worst ceo's of the 20th century having anything to do with running our country?

      Re: OuterSpace
      Ground Control to OuterSpace.
      Your heads in the clouds if you admire her tyrannical ways.
      I actually don't blame 'The Breck Girl' looking for strange.
      Nothing classy about this woman.



    10. 10

      I don't feel one bit sorry for her. She can try to paint herself as the victim until her last breath and I'll never be stupid enough to buy it (unlike Parasite). She's a raging bitch behind closed doors who helped her husband lie to all during his campaign. She needs to stop milking this, her cancer, and her child's death; she needs to move on and to STFU.



    11. 11

      With all due respect to Elizabeth I don't see Sandra's as someone who has taken the high road and has moved on. You hear about her marriage, but you also see this Sandra as a women who comes out on top and just keeps going. I watched her on the Today Show and thought how important it is how people view her more than anything. I would tell her to take care of herself first, family and then won't worry about the public's image. I think most of us respect her highly as I do and wish her only health and happiness. You can't control John and the others that surround him.



    12. 12

      If my HUSBAND did to me what hers did to her,
      I WOULD CUT HIS DICK OFF & SHOVE IT DOWN HIS MISTRESSES THROAT , ESPECIALLY AFTER FINDING OUT THE BITCH WAS PREGNANT AND HAVING TO BATTLE CANCER KNOWING YOUR GONNA DIE…
      WHAT THE FUCK…..
      KARMA IS A BITCH…….



    13. 13

      Perez pay her more respect. Don't call her Honey.



    14. 14

      Re: TheMrsBradPitt
      You're right.
      Bush and Palin sailed through the political process w/o a disparging word.
      Go smoke some dope.



    15. 15

      Wow…commentators attacking this woman…how do you sleep a night with such negativity spewing inside your soul? I think she has handle this as best as she can….with dignity and class. And for those who said that she knew what was going, etc…DID IT OCCUR TO YOU THAT MAYBE SHE TURNED A BLIND EYE FOR THE SAKE OF HER KIDS. As they…the person(s) stirring the pot, are the ONLY ONES who know what's really in it.

      Re: TheMrsBradPitt
      You obviously support the Democrat Obama Regime.
      -
      I remember a long time ago, Pink Floyd wrote a song and the video is amazing about, "Another Brick In the Wall".
      Radicals didn't want Big Brother in their lives. It's actually a cornerstone of what Conservatives believe, smaller government.
      -
      What year did you experience this tectonic shift in wanting Big Brother in our lives and telling us how to live?
      -
      At what point in your life did you decide you needed a keeper to
      decide for you:
      what you should eat?
      how much salt should be in your food?
      what kind of fat your french fries should be cooked?
      what your house should be built with?
      what temperature the house should be set at?
      what kind of car you should drive?
      what companies should be allowed to exist?
      what companies should be nationalized?
      where in your own home can you smoke cigarettes?
      what flag should be allowed on your property to fly?
      what color your house is allowed to be?
      There's hundred more of these.
      -
      I personally don't like being told what to do by our Big Government.
      It's why Conservatives like Small Government, that they should leave us alone.
      -
      Are you an Elite? Or you just can't think and take care of yourself like the blacks in New Orleans?

      IRONIC TO SEE HER BEING INTERVIEWED BY THE BIGGEST MANWHORE ON THE PLANET, MATT



    18. 18

      What a beautiful and intelligent woman Elizabeth is. I deeply admire her. Even if she did know about his infidelity, what is a woman to do, having young children, battling cancer ? You cannot take a decision in ten seconds. Good luck my dear Elizabeht and I hope you still have many years ahead of you. I am praying for you. As for luvstotango, I say you should shut up your ugly mouth. Watch out for karma, it is coming to you sooner than you think.



    19. 19

      John should have just left the marriage before he took a test ride on his replacement. There is no breaks in marriage - you're either in or out of the marriage and not in an out of two women.



    20. 20

      Re: TheMrsBradPitt – I might be an idiot, which is your opinion, which I don't give a fuck about, but the woman bitches too much. I stand by my point. She is a whiner and needs to move on. And by the way I think that you are the idiot, with a moniker like MrsBradPitt you show that you have no identity, get yourself one.



    21. 21

      Re: luvstotango – LOL, you just hit the nail on the head with the last part of your comment. She cannot think for herself or take care of herself, that is why she signs mrs.bradpitt, she unconciously needs the protection of a male figure. Like you say to her before, I repeat, she needs to go an smoke some dope, lol…



    22. 22

      Re: luvstotango – Yes, and we ALL know about the Republican family values - hmmm, like tapping your foot in the stall of the bathroom next to you in the men's room. Ummm, yeah, like sending sexts to a male aide….. yeah. You Repubicans are all very similar and smug unless and just go on like you're the shit. I hope you have cancer, up the ass.

      Oh Victim, Cry me a River. If it's so bad, why did you keep going back over and over and over again. Stop being the victim it's so boring. I can't stand her face.
