I bet its going to come out that Amanda didn't simply resign of her own accord, that she was essentially pushed out. That Edwards, who thought firing and then re-hiring both of these girls would calm things down, was still taking heat from Donohue & Co. Bill Donahue probably wanted them both re-fired. Somebody could have come up with the compromise of firing one and keeping the other. Allowing both sides a moral victory. However even firing one of them would get Edwards flack from the 'net roots. So I suspect Edwards or one of his people went to Amanda and rather strongly suggested that she fall on her own sword and "resign". "Be a good trooper Amanda and take one for the team"

If Edwards didn't in fact solicit the resignation himself, he shouldn't have accepted it. He should have had the guts to take sides in this case instead of waffling and playing both sides like a typical politician.

The least Edwards could do is invite Amanda over to his new 28,000 ft. mansion with the indoor basketball court and olympic size swimming pool. I mean she deserves to get something for all the trouble she's been put through!
