Elizabeth Edwards Defends Whoopi Raunchfest

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."

By trashing this poor woman...

She is NOT a POOR woman.

Please rephrase to "By Trashing this FILTHY RICH woman...."

I'm angry that I have to look at her fat a$$ and ugly mug the next 4 months... just expressing MY opinion...

Do you recall Laura Bush blasting any of the Dems this way? Now, or Al Lunatic Gore in '00?

Now that I think about it, you make a lot of sense.

Do you remember the primaries when Howard "Hate America" Dean would not campaign with his wife because he did not think he had to? He actually had some good points about not wanting to drag his wife around like a trophy. However, this is America, and the voting public needed to see Howard Dean in order to vote for him. They literally need to see a wife to judge how well the candidate "picked". If the spouse is a shrew, its bad publicity. If shes attractive and warm, its good. Hillary had to go through a complete makeover in her years down in Arkansas.

You're too droll. You take things personally, don't you?

What is with the Stepford wives/democrat wives thing? From Tipper to Theresa to Elisabeth, these women all seem to be seriously looney.

I consider liberalism to be a mental disease.

QUOTE: "Sure, go ahead. Make sure you get in touch with Dick Cheney so he can include a couple of zingers in his upcoming debates. You know - things like 'yeh we have a deficit, but your wife is a lard ass', followed by a F' yourself. Great wy to win the votes of the vast majority of mid-American females (large % of whom are reported to be a bit on the 'plus' side)."


If Cheney did that, Bush would win a 50 State landslide.

After seeing Edwards wife, I could not help thinking, how come he did not sue the fast food dispensers.

Holy cow she's big...as well as being vulgar.

Since the neckline of her jacket is bulged out by her arms compressing her bustline, you automatically assume that she goes straight down from there - which would make her about 100 pounds overweight, well into morbidly obese.

I used to have a Garfield cartoon that is perfect for that pic.

It said, "I'm not overweight, I'm undertall!"

The Dems almost threw up when Cheney told Leahy to go f himself , yet they sit thru Whoopoi and her nasty routine.

The double standard by the Dems doesn't surprise me anymore.What went on last night is the true nature of the Democrat party.They surround themselves with phony Hollywood people,who are just like they are.Pretending to be something they are not.

"She's a lawyer married to a cheesy ambulance-chaser. She raked it in by jimmying the system.
Generally, I don't rag on heavy women."

I don't either. I was heavy. I weight 219 pounds after my third child and I'm 5' 10'.

I'm not going to call her names, but she looks like a prime candidate for "fat suits" against McDonalds for having too many calories in their food, and against airlines for having seats too narrow. Anyone who can defend against statements like Whoopie's, against a sitting president, while bewailing that the US has become a "laughingstock" has it coming. Some "American values" the left is projecting to the world.

I concur. As a once slim and handsome (IMOHO) fat man married to a still trim and beautiful woman I say lay off the looks. The woman's politics are ugly enough. And besides, I've seen her in person and she is not an unattractive woman.

With her statement, Lizzie proves that she's just as attractive on the inside as she is on the outside.

"But, but........I thought it was Bush spending all his money on negativity. This can't be true about Kerry/Edwards, can it?"

Not really...it's a campaign fundraiser. They're spending OTHER PEOPLE'S money on it.

Why do you think Hillary wanted Edwards for Veep?

I'd love to know what Hillary and Bill are thinking about now; imagine her waking up and looking at a possible 16 years of Kerry/Edwards.

If they were to win, she's definitely out of it.
