News is leaking from a book by former John Edwards’ aide, Andrew Young. On the Today Show this morning, a reporter called the book,

…salacious, full of tawdry details, betrayal and countless lies. And as brutal as it is about John Edwards, it’s also tough on Elizabeth, who, the book says, became intoxicated by power, and sometimes looked the other way.

Tomorrow night, Young appears on 20/20.

The release date, originally scheduled for next week, has been moved up to Saturday, according to Entertainment Weekly.
