John Edwards (and others of his ilk)

At the interview/press conference, Elizabeth Edwards said she was very hurt by his cheating but she had forgiven him.

For one time, one time, in all the public pronouncements of cheating among public and semi-public figures, I'd like to hear the following from the wronged spouse:

"Good evening. Thank you for coming here today. As you have just heard my spouse admit to his/her affair, I wanted to take this moment to let all of you know that after I heard the news, I cried. Then, after thinking about it awhile, and taking into consideration that he/she was counting on me to stand beside him/her today, I decided to put plans into action. Right now, at this very moment, moving vans and movers are at our house loading up his/her possessions. The movers know which ones are his/hers because I have labeled those possessions with LCB, which stands for lying, cheating bastard (bitch). I used black permanent marker to make sure that it was clear which were his/hers and which were mine. As you can see from the look of shock on my spouse's face, he/she did not know I had planned this for today. I have also contacted an attorney and he/she has written up a preliminary separation agreement, effective today. As the faithful spouse I am, I have made arrangements for all of his/her things to be delivered to the nearest hotel and storage unit. I have taken half of the funds in our checking and savings accounts and have moved them into an account in my name only. The children will be living with me. Thank you."
