Elizabeth [Edwards] questions Limbaugh's draft deferment
Politico ^ | 10/4/07 | Ben Smith

Posted on 10/04/2007 1:26:54 PM PDT by Roberts

An Air America producer just sent over some transcript from an interview their Richard Greene (not our Richard Greene) conducted with Elizabeth Edwards, in which she questioned Rush Limbaugh's Vietnam exemption:

My classmates went to Vietnam, he did not. He was 4F. He had a medical disability, the same medical disability that probably should have stopped him from spending a lifetime in a radio announcer’s chair; but it is true, isn’t it? If he has an inoperable position that allows him not to serve, presumably it should not allow him to sit for long periods of time the way he does. I think this is a serious enough offense for the people who fund him, who buy ads and allow him to be on the air, need to be asked if this is what they really stand for, do they think it is alright for someone who has never served to denigrate the men and women who have simply because they are expressing an opinion. Frankly, I thought that is what we are fighting for.

In the interview, Edwards also suggested that John Kerry shouldn't have conceded when he did in 2004.

RG: Were you disappointed that Senator Kerry conceded as quickly as he did?

EE: I was very disappointed, not just because we did not count the votes, but because we promised people that if they stood in line and fought for the right to vote, that we would fight with them. And I was very disappointed that the decision was made by the campaign, over John’s objection, not to fight.

Would it have made you feel any better Elizabeth if Rush had run off to Canada or done what "X42" did and spend a month and a half or so in the Soviet Union during 'Nam?

Someone needs to set this bitch aside and teach her how to think.

He just washed his hair and can't do a thing with it.

Tsk, tsk, tsk, Elizabeth!!

You are an embarrassment to all women, you know that?
You didn’t get the facts before you spoke.

Maybe your disease meds are affecting your judgment?
I support you even though I despise your erroneous statements.

So did Mr. Edwards ever serve in the military? I don’t remember that he ever did. Did Mrs. Edwards ever serve? I think not.
