RUSH: I mentioned just in passing right before the end of a segment that the Twitter storm erupted last night when it was learned the details of the marriage of Mike Pence and his wife, Karen. Leftists are appalled that Pence does not eat in public with women without his wife along. They’re outraged at this. You should have seen the Twitter storm. He does not attend events with alcohol without her at his side.
Now, let me ask a question. If some leftists had a very, very open marriage — well, let’s look at the Obamas. Do you know where Barack Hussein O is right now? He is on a deserted island in Tahiti for a month with 54 men. It’s the old Marlon Brando estate. Marlon Brando had an island. He was first interviewed from that island by Larry King Alive. And he’s been there like a month, he’s scheduled to be there a month. We haven’t heard a word about Michelle Obama, but there isn’t any Twitter storm over this.
What if a different leftist couple went public with the details of their open marriage about how each partner sleeps with other people but they trust each other and they have great times together and they raise their kids. It would be celebrated, it would be applauded, the left would think that it’s a great example of openness and trust and tolerance. But the liberals on Twitter were beside themselves last night when they found out that Pence will not eat in public with women without his wife along.
Well, let’s look at the opposite of that. Let’s say one night — pick your spot — let’s say at The Capital Grille. Let’s say one night Mike Pence is in there having dinner with another woman, not his wife, and somebody in the media sees it, maybe snaps a picture, do you think there might be stories intimating something not right there? Do you think somebody would take notice and think it was odd? Could very well be. Nor does he attend events with alcohol without her. She is his prayer partner. They’re really lambasting that. And he doesn’t go anywhere with alcohol without her.
It sounds to me like you got a couple of really good friends here who protect each other and who do everything they can to protect their marriage. You know, I was mentioning this the first time, and I checked my email, and I got few emails from women saying not cool for a guy to go to dinner, a married guy, with a different woman, just not cool. Right? Tongues would wag.
Anyway, I found it interesting that the left went nuts, particularly feminazis. The feminazis on Twitter portrayed this as Mrs. Pence being a totally, 100 percent subservient. I don’t know how you get that out of it, but they did.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: I got a quick question for you. What is the easiest question in Washington to answer? (singing Jeopardy theme song) What is the easiest question in Washington to answer? Actually it’s true anywhere, but we’re focusing on Pence and his marriage and how he won’t go out to dinner with a woman without his wife present and all that. What’s the easiest question in Washington to answer?
The one that cannot be asked. Don’t roll your eyes. That’s a profundity. The easiest question to answer is the one that can’t be asked. “Mr. Pence, what were you doing with your legislative aide last night at dinner?” If you don’t go to dinner with her, they can’t ask the question. The easiest answer to a question is the one that can’t be asked. Just another way of saying keep it on the straight and narrow, and nobody can hound you. You know where I got that? White comedian Paul Shanklin, as one of the guiding principles of his life. Easier to answer the questions that cannot be asked. So when he goes out… (laughing)
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: I was just looking at one of these tweets in reaction to the Washington Post story on Pence refusing to eat with another woman in public without his wife being present. Some MTV personality said that’s worse than Sharia. That is so backwards; that’s worse than what the Muslims do to women. That’s such an insult to women.
Ha.
Go figure.
Let us thank the Lord for Mike Pence, who appears to be a wise and steady hand at President Trump’s side.
I think his policy is very sound. It is easy to get into trouble if an attractive female takes a shine to you.
39 years of marriage? Awesome USMCPOP!!!
That is totally amazing.
All the best to you and yours. Julie :)
PC momentarily got the better of me...
If only more politicians were more aware of situations they put themselves in.
I was trying to remember that case! Gary Hart saying ‘follow me around, you won’t find anything’, so they did, and they DID!
I won’t close my door if I’m in my office with a woman; I know “the game”, and I ain’t playing...
The butches are framing it in the context that he won’t include/promote women with this policy.
I’ve done the same; if a woman wanted a ride home from an event, there’d definitely be a third person in the car...
Pence seems to be a serious Christian, and there is something to be said for “avoiding the near occasion of sin”. We don’t just try to avoid sin, but also situations that lead to it.
At work it can get you into trouble if even an unattractive female wants your job, to even a score, or money from your company...
For very practical reasons, the Pences are protecting themselves, together or alone, from the scandal mongering press as well as political intrigue. The Pence marriage and togetherness is genuine aside from practical considerations. The one scene I remember from the Trump inaugural balls was of the Pence family dancing along with others on the stage. Mike Pence and his wife were so proud of their family, and the whole demeanor of Mike Pence could be described as almost bursting with love and pride for his children and wife. He was totally oblivious to the other personalities around him. This atmosphere that the Pences carry with them takes years to develop. They have genuine love for each other and family. God bless them all.
Old man Joe Kennedy used to hire prostitutes that would get a guy alone then start screaming rape. It was the way he would destroy his enemies.
I agree; I think they are committed religious people.
FWIW, liberals should be terrified of a Pence presidency (if something should happen to Trump); he was the only social/cultural candidate in the race. There is much to like about Trump, but for example he made it clear he wasn’t concerned with the “gay marriage” issue. That lukewarm attitude probably helped elect him (social liberals in general didn’t fear him, though splinter groups did), but it left the “religious right” with no horse in this race - the best they could hope for was Hillary’s defeat to prevent things from getting worse (in other words, little hope that anything would get better).
We’ll see what the Supreme Court battle(s) bring...
At the end of the day, the feminazis don’t care about women. They, like all the other pet groups, just want to ensure that everyone is in agreement with the delusions of evil.
Together they have become corrupt. So think, ‘consensus’.
I searched for RISKY business first. found nothing.
added boat...
