MSNBC did a story this morning about Elizabeth Edwards' new book. Here is the crawl that appeared at the bottom of the screen:
"Elizabeth Edwards discusses her husband's affair with Oprah."
My first thought - That rat! His wife has cancer and he's having an affair with Oprah??!
My second thought - Oh. She's appearing on Oprah to discuss her husband's affair.
My third thought - He's still a rat.

I'm watching the clip right now on HLN. Coincidence? Hmmm... Anyway, yes - he's a rat!
