The wife of vice presidential hopeful John Edwards is defending Whoopi Goldberg after the potty-mouthed comedienne attacked President Bush with an X-rated monologue at Thursday night's Kerry-Edwards fundraiser in New York.

Rejecting calls for her husband's campaign to apologize for Goldberg's outburst, Mrs. Edwards said Friday that the anti-Bush tirade was justified.

"A lot of people are going to be angry - there's a lot to be angry about," she told reporters at a fundraising breakfast on Manhattan's West side. "It's a free country and people are going to express that anger."

Keep it up Liz...we hardly know ye'.

[Mamzelle]

Fatso Lizzie. Lardbutt Lizzie.

Note to Mrs. Edwards: are these the "values" you want your children to grow up with? Total disdain for America? You just shot yourself in the foot.

[ladtx]

John Edwards can't answer for himself??

[AmericanMade1776]

I think Bill Cosby should have a Talk with Whoopie, and tell her she is setting a bad example for the Children.

[smith288]

Keep defending the raunchy spectacle you morons... (*rolling hands ala Mr. Burns*) Eeeexcellent.

[Bahbah]

This is very nice, really. The first substantive statement out of this woman's mouth is in support of a filthy, hate-filled monologue.

[Az. Mike]

I've about had it with these so-called 'family value' dems. What a great example, for her children.

[smiley]

well...now we know where Ms. Edwards stands on vulgarity. Sad commentary.

[goldstategop]

Right. Free to express their hatred of President Bush with language you wouldn't hear from a 2 year old. The Democratic Party has really gone to pot.

[Quilla]

Mrs. Edwards, would you show the video of this "American values" touted event to your children?

[snarkytart]

GOD PLEASE LET THESE PATHETIC PIGS GO BACK FROM UNDER THE ROCK IN WHICH THEY CAME NOVEMBER 3RD.

I really have never seen such hate and stupity coming from the left..they are insane.

[Jaded]

After sitting through the vulgar performance, Sen. Edwards told the crowd, "This campaign will be a celebration of real American values."

If she defends a statement like that she's not much better than Teereyzza or Hitlery. Those people are SOOOO out of touch with the real world.

[ridesthemiles]

The Democratic Party has really gone to pot.

Pot was the mainstay of these people in the 60's 70's and 80's. For some of them, it still is.
Pot is the largest cash crop of the USA.

[Paradox]

So she is basically saying that theirs is the party of Anger, she is defending their verbalized Hatred.

Have the Republicans ever had events that devolved into such orgies of rancor?

[M007]

Did John Edwards serve in Vietnam? He is 51.

Apprently the lipstick on Whoopi's photocopied rear-end came from Liz Edwards.
