Elizabeth and John Edwards hugely impress with their candor and their strength in this “60 Minutes” interview. It is impossible not to watch this without coming to the conclusion that these are serious, thoughtful and responsible people. And gutsy: I admired hearing both of them saying “We’re all going to die,” without feeling like they had to say “pass” or “we’re all going to be called to the Lord” or some such euphemism.

Elizabeth Edwards said of their choice to continue campaigning: “You have tow choices. Either your push on with your life…or you start dying.”

Tough stuff.

Katie Couric did not impress so much…. She comes across as cold and callous.

To be fair, Couric lost her husband to cancer, and I highly doubt that she is insensitive to the Edwardses.

My guesses? One, she’s trying to look like a serious newsperson, and show no signs of bias because of her own loss.

Two—and you can judge this one for yourself—She’s had so much work done to her face that she can’t actually look sympathetic.

Elizabeth Edwards, by contrast, has aged, and has wrinkles. Somehow, though, she looks much more beautiful than does Couric…..
