Elizabeth Edwards, what say you?

Apparently Elizabeth Edwards has added a chapter to the paperback edition of her autobiography titled "Saving Graces." It seems to reflect the fact that, yes, Mrs. Edwards has known for a bit now about her husband's affair. Look at the shot she appears to take at Rielle Hunter:

“It is hard to describe the test of public life, the way people believe — to some degree correctly — that you belong to them. There are awful examples, of course, of those whose motives are selfish or not admirable, who pry their way into the lives of public people in order to exploit a kindness or a generous gesture. They are to be endured and, to some extent I largely chose to ignore, feared. They remind me of a more malicious version of the people who wandered into our house in Annapolis, walking around our living room, putting their hands on our things. It is a sad fact that these people are a threat to anyone with even the smallest amount of celebrity.”

"Endured and feared"...yes, indeedy.
It's a shot. But you know what? I don't blame Elizabeth Edwards at all for taking it.
I think she hit the target dead on.
