I know that Beck's first wife left him.

About Rush: years ago, I decided to watch Rush. At the time he came on TV at 6 am in Dallas. He kept playing this stupid clip of women who wanted to be firefighters and laughing at it. I'm sure there are some men out there who want to be firefighters who couldn't handle the hose either, but Rush chose to play the clip of women and laugh, pointedly referring to them as women firefighters. It was the first and last time I watched him. Women are people too, you know.

Why did Beck's wife leave?

Without context...I'd have a hard time figuring out what went on with Rush and the clip of women firefighters.

I would suspect it had something to do with the Dept. HAVING to accept all candidates...especially minorities and WOMEN...no matter if they could physically handle it.

I'd bet you the women embarrassed themselves...and Rush laughed at it...and so did the audience. I probably would have too.

Yes, I know some women...and they most certainly ARE people.

Beck has often told the story about his alcoholism and how he had to hit bottom before he could get better. His first wife left him when she could take no more of his drinking. I don't think Beck wanted the divorce.

Rush has had at least 3 wives, and several relationships. He seems to be a serial womanizer to me. I can't respect a man that changes women like some men change cars.

About the tv show, I guess we will have to agree to disagree, because I think he was specifically targeting women. You really need to see the show before you can make a fair judgement.
