In a dazzling display of tastelessness and moral bankruptcy Rush, on Tuesday blamed Elizabeth Edwards for her husband's infidelity and lack of integrity and character.

<blockquote>"...what could have John Edwards' motivations been to have the affair with Rielle Hunter, given his wife is smarter than he is and probably nagging him a lot about doing this, and he found somebody that did something with her mouth other than talk. "</blockquote>

God forbid a woman should be intelligent and articulate. God forbid she should be capable and able to stand on her own. And one wonders why Rush has had three failed marriages.

naturally, quote half a sentence and declare it the final word on the subject.

No honest person would reach the same conclusion you have with that little information. You havent even given the entire sentence let alone the context.

Nagging and loud-mouthed are not the same as intelligent and articulate, unless your a radical feminist, in which case its hard to tell the difference.

Even if this is a Rush quote (since there isn't a link) no one said anything about women not being intelligent, articulate and standing on their own. :chillpill:

I was right. BP's "source" was Media Matters


Here is what Rush said

LIMBAUGH: Well, it's -- I mean, at some point, at some point, you gotta exhibit maturity and restraint. You know, and I do that constantly. But -- well, I don't -- look, let me see if I can run you through this and get you to think what I'm thinking without my actually saying it. That might be a pretty big talent if I could do that -- make you think what I'm going to say without my having to say it, therefore if anybody gets in trouble for saying it, you say it.

We know -- we've been told that Elizabeth Edwards is smarter than John Edwards. That's part of the puff pieces on them that we've seen. Ergo, if Elizabeth Edwards is smarter than John Edwards, is it likely that she thinks she knows better than he does what his speeches ought to contain and what kind of things he ought to be doing strategy-wise in the campaign? If she is smarter than he is, could it have been her decision to keep going with the campaign? In other words, could it be that she doesn't shut up? Now, that's as far as I'm going to go.

Well, you're -- Snerdley says he's missing something. If you're missing it, you're going to have to provide it. What are you missing? Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

I can't close the loop on it. I can't close the loop on it. I'm on -- you know, I'm in a little quicksand already today talking about how the chicks are giving us boring pictures of the female athletes from the Olympics. Because I know -- you -- the diversity crowd's going to be upset. They're going to -- "Ooh, do you mean the Olympics are just so you guys can ogle wom--" Yes, because we do not care to watch 'em compete. But back to Elizabeth and the Breck Girl.

I'm sorry, my friends, I just -- I can't. It just seems to me that Edwards might be attracted to a woman whose mouth did something other than talk.

I'm confused.

It is NOT Mrs. Edwards' fault, but when you get right down to the nuts and bolts of an affair, what causes a man (or woman for that matter) to involve themselves in one? I'm pretty certain what attracted John Edwards to Ms. Hunter was not her brains, but rather the mystique and sexual attractiveness she presented. That is not to say Ms. Hunter is not smart. I don't know anything about her, but truthfully, John Edwards went wandering because he was not satisfied with what he had.

John Edwards is a jerk. I'm being nice here. He cheated on his wife. There is no excuse for that. I feel most sorry for Mrs. Edwards, because now she's being drawn through the mud. It is not the fault of Mrs. Edwards that John doesn't have the courage to stand up to his problems at home.

I agree, Rush Limbaugh was not funny. What he insinuated was in extremely poor taste. However, which of us have never opened our mouths and inserted both feet to the knees? Rush should apologize to Mrs. Edwards. But, because he bombed at this statement doesn't make him a sleeze ball. John Edwards is the sleeze ball here and one might even go so far as to say the same about Ms. Hunter.

I might also add that Rush is TRYING to get a reaction from listeners both Right-minded and wrong ;)... er left-minded. I'm sure he accomplished the task here. I doubt he blames Mrs. Edwards, but he DID get a reaction from his listeners.

edwards is a jerk because he brought us all in the public, in to his affair through his tv appearances where he tried to clear himself...

if he had told the truth in these interviews and was sincere, i would have easily been on his side....

BUT HE WASN'T dmp! HE went before US and now lied to us....trying to make himself appear contrite....so not to ruin his political career or just to save his face....

Personally, I believe he should have kept his mouth shut, (and not pulled us in to this, because it is none of my business or the public's business), even with the National Enquirer breathing down his neck....

I think he is scum, because he brought it to us in his interviews and he LIED in those interviews....if he wasn't really going to come clean, then he should have not done the interviews and pretended he did....this is coming back to haunt him and hurts Elizabeth and his children, including his bastard child....and Ms Hunter.

He continued the affair in to 2007 and the baby is his....based on all that is coming out now, IMO.

Well, you're -- Snerdley says he's missing something. If you're missing it, you're going to have to provide it. What are you missing? Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

the whole thing was a bash to edwards....who (in rush's opinion) couldn't stand his wife being smarter than him and took her more intelligent opinions/advice as nagging and went after someone with less intelligence who did not use her mouth for words...

see the whole thing objectively and you will understand that rush is bashing edwards and holding his wife up on a nice pedestal. let go the hate, come on, you can do it.
view the tape of it yurt, you can see his gestures, sighs, smiles with his comments.....and especially the way he said he "couldn't say outloud" he'd let the audience draw their conclusions....what he was thinking.... he absolutely implied as trigg has also said, that this other woman attracted edwards thru her mouth doing "something" other than talking... and WHAT attracts men to a woman's mouth if not their words....?

if he was talking about kissing he could have said such....but he wasn't, and watching his show it was clear that he wasn't talking about kissing...

And my head is not in the gutter...it is just what i saw and heard from Rush....I may live in the boonedocks, but i ain't naive! ;)

Because IMHO kissing wasn't it.

Nope this is nothing like that. Since, at the end of the day, Rush was right about that one. The guy never was a soldier.

In a dazzling display of tastelessness and moral bankruptcy Rush, on Tuesday blamed Elizabeth Edwards for her husband's infidelity and lack of integrity and character.

<blockquote>"...what could have John Edwards' motivations been to have the affair with Rielle Hunter, given his wife is smarter than he is and probably nagging him a lot about doing this, and he found somebody that did something with her mouth other than talk. "</blockquote>

God forbid a woman should be intelligent and articulate. God forbid she should be capable and able to stand on her own. And one wonders why Rush has had three failed marriages.

Seeing through the warped eyes and biased pea-brain of a liberal Dim., I can't imagine you seeing it any other way....

I think the 'topic' was disgusting. However, what I got from the text was that the onus was on Edwards, being a shallow male. A very low blow to the slut. Compliments to Elizabeth, which are questionable, considering she seems to have been involved in the 'cover up'.

are you going to say the same thing to Immanuel who has also put edwards down for it???

edwards is a jerk because he brought us all in the public, in to his affair through his tv appearances where he tried to clear himself...

if he had told the truth in these interviews and was sincere, i would have easily been on his side....

BUT HE WASN'T dmp! HE went before US and now lied to us....trying to make himself appear contrite....so not to ruin his political career or just to save his face....

Personally, I believe he should have kept his mouth shut, (and not pulled us in to this, because it is none of my business or the public's business), even with the National Enquirer breathing down his neck....

I think he is scum, because he brought it to us in his interviews and he LIED in those interviews....if he wasn't really going to come clean, then he should have not done the interviews and pretended he did....this is coming back to haunt him and hurts Elizabeth and his children, including his bastard child....and Ms Hunter.

He continued the affair in to 2007 and the baby is his....based on all that is coming out now, IMO.

I think he is scum as well, but for an entirely different reason. I have not heard any of his attempts at spinning this. I was on vacation when the story broke. The only thing I said when I saw it on the news, was that I really don't care to hear the media run another couple through the muck. I don't care who the person is liberal or conservative, celebrity or what have you. I really don't want to hear all the details of their lives.

John Edwards ran on a family friendly campaign. He presented himself as a super-husband and father, yet he was cheating on her all the time. The man is no hero in my book.

He can be forgiven no doubt, but that doesn't change what he did to his wife.

I think John Edwards is a schmuck for putting his wife through this. A decent human being does not cheat on his/her spouse. It happens to the best of people, I'm sure, but the cheater is still a schmuck. Can he/she be forgiven? Of course, and I hope the best for the Edwards. I hope they can work it out. But, that does not excuse the actions of this man. IMHO

i don't know what went on in the Edwards household with their own relationship....what i do know is by edwards talking to the media about his affair to smooth things over for himself was a bad strategy if he had no plans of being honest, which will lead to another 2 months of this garbage talk, will hurt his wife and him even moreso with the mending fences and hurt his and elizabeth's children and ms hunter and their child together....

If we've all sinned. If we've all broken promises or caused another pain, why would Edward's pain-causing or sin bother you? Why the need to vilify him for something we've ALL done. It's really not that big of a deal, right? We're sinners, and thus, sin.

He's done nothing worse than anyone else has ever done.

If you had even a modicum of understanding of Christ, you wouldn't feel the need to "Nail" him for his actions, OR name-call. You'd likely show empathy.

I disagree. It is calling a sin a sin. Sin is ugly.

Do Christians sit back and allow homosexuals to continue to sin without pointing out the sin in their lives? Do Christians sit back and quietly allow abortions to continue without a word of protest? By your statements, it would seem that a Christian should not speak against any sin.

What John Edwards did is wrong. He sinned. I think he's a terrible person for what he did to his wife. Can I forgive him? Heck yes. Would I welcome him into God's arms... darn right. But that doesn't mean for the time being that I don't think he's a schmuck or that I think that we should turn our backs and close our eyes to what he has done.

I understand all of this Dmp....maybe it is the word skank or immie's word Schmuck that upsets you...is LIAR better....?

I am not going to sit here and glorify Edwards, nor would i glorify myself if i had done the same as him....

As i have said many, many, many times on this thread, but you fail to address or even note....is the audacity of Edwards' in his interviews, after coming out and saying he did not love this other woman, he was just a narcicist, please forgive him for letting running for the presidency get to his head, he is not the father of this child and can't be due to the timing of the affair ending and also bringing his wife in to his continued lies, saying he told her and all is fine with her crap so that should make this all hunky dorey blah blah blah blah....which is now turning out to be all lies.

He did not cheat on me, that was his wife and their problem, but HE DID PULL ME IN TO IT AND DID LIE TO ME in those interviews he did.

I seriously doubt if you and your wife were having problems that you would go before the public and continue to spin a web of lies to the public....

This is what has been so disappointing with Edwards, for me....i hope he hears my comments, i hope he reads my comments and i hope he comes to his senses and gets this thing he drug me in to straight, with his wife, with his lover, with me and with the rest of the public he has spun his lie web with....

The affair has already been forgiven by me, the coverup and lies he is continuing to tell me needs to be called out so he can see that we all are on to them and him for saying them, not ignored....this will only help him, in the long run....like i said, to get him straight and upright, with himself and with the Lord regarding this matter....see it as a nudge in the right direction, and no more than that....

Can he be forgiven, of course he can....just like murders can be forgiven....one sin is not greater than another...so says the Bible....all are short comings....and yes, i have plenty of them myself, we all do....and my parents or husband or friends don't hold back if they think i am wrong, thankfully so....

I understand all of this Dmp....maybe it is the word skank or immie's word Schmuck that upsets you...is LIAR better....?

I am not going to sit here and glorify Edwards, nor would i glorify myself if i had done the same as him....

As i have said many, many, many times on this thread, but you fail to address or even note....is the audacity of Edwards' in his interviews, after coming out and saying he did not love this other woman, he was just a narcicist, please forgive him for letting running for the presidency get to his head, he is not the father of this child and can't be due to the timing of the affair ending and also bringing his wife in to his continued lies, saying he told her and all is fine with her crap so that should make this all hunky dorey blah blah blah blah....which is now turning out to be all lies.

You spend a lot of time trying to justify yourself. In fact, if "Justification" were a superpower, you'd have your own comic book.

You'd be better served to own up to your limitations than to try to excuse them.

Edwards has always struck me as a very narcissistic man who feels he deserves to get whatever he wants. I'm willing to bet that there were other affairs, and one or two of the women will come forward now to get some of that lime light.

If he did have two women at least they could talk to each other after he fell asleep

Well, if that information in that thread about his PAC paying Ms. Hunter off has even a hint of accuracy, I'd say you may be right. Then again, there may be women who had never met him who claim to have had affairs with him.

Also, doesn't narcissism come with politics and power? It seems to me that so many of these people get into this kind of trouble because of the lives they live. Honestly, it makes me extremely glad that I am not in politics. I don't want those kinds of temptations.

Not always, but enough that I would stay far away from politicians if I were looking for a relationship.

you asked which post .... i gave you the one he referenced.....fuck me for trying to help you out.....

as for what rush was saying ... i already gave my opinion....i would tell you which post but you would probably get all bitchy with me....

and gee what a shock that three women would agree that it was the man's fault......

and you all wonder why we make you sign a pre nup.....

Hold up there a minute. My posts had nothing to do with Edwards and the cheating.

My posts have been regarding Rush and his insinuation that bj's were the reason Edwards cheated.

Yup. Those, and Elizabeth's annoying tendency to use her mouth to talk. The nerve of her.

Makes you wonder if Rush's wife walks 3 steps behind him and drops to her knees every night.

Honestly the men on this board (I should say some) jump on every sexual innuendo posted, but are in denial regarding this one. It just leaves me scratching my head.

I'm glad you said "some" there. :)

BTW: I've heard rumors that at home Rush wears a collar and a leash and skimpy leather clothing laced with frills. ;)

In a dazzling display of tastelessness and moral bankruptcy Rush, on Tuesday blamed Elizabeth Edwards for her husband's infidelity and lack of integrity and character.

<blockquote>"...what could have John Edwards' motivations been to have the affair with Rielle Hunter, given his wife is smarter than he is and probably nagging him a lot about doing this, and he found somebody that did something with her mouth other than talk. "</blockquote>

God forbid a woman should be intelligent and articulate. God forbid she should be capable and able to stand on her own. And one wonders why Rush has had three failed marriages.

Can tell from your editorial, that you don't know Rush Limbaugh "tongue in cheek" type statements.

That's all it was. Rush doesn't resent Edward's wife or blame her, that was as above, "tongue in cheek".

I think it's your dislike of Rush, that caused you to overlook the obvious, and possibly you don't listen to him enough to know this is typical "tongue in cheek" Rush Limbaugh behavior.

Rush is one of the biggest money raisers for Cancer research and more specifically for Leukemia. Are you aware of how much he raises on radio. Reserves a special day on radio just for this purpose.

Knowing that Edward's wife is or has battled cancer, I really doubt that Rush has a political double standard on who deserves empathy when it comes to cancer.

Most people who dislike Rush, usually enjoy quoting him out of context. Not unlike those that bash fundies using out of context bible verses, or being biblically ignorant, they mis-quote totally.

Michael Savage was "savaged" by those that took him out of context when saying that many children diagnosed with autism didn't have the ailment, but were just hyper kids or needed other help.

Savage has led a campaign against the very liberal, wide spread useage of Ritalin for kids. He doesn't discount it's total use, but again he feels that these professionals are too quick to diagnose bored, highly intelligent kids with, that are hyper with Ritalin therapy.

Anyway, you don't like Rush from the word "go", we all know that on this forum.

Trying to assume that he is seriously making Edward's wife out to be the bad person is just "hopeful" thinking on your part.

Ah...No, he was blaming Elizabeth Edwards for her husband's execrable behavior. And there was nothing to take out of context, having heard the full context of his broadcasts segment and read the transcript.

He could strangle a Girl Scout to death in the lobby of his apartment building and you and your fellow travelers would claim "She deserved it!"

Bully, there was a time not so long ago, that you wouldn't lump everyone that disagreed with you together. You've fallen sir.
