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.
“Yes, he will...and when he responds to Mrs. Breck Girl, he will then be accused of attacking cancer patients. “
Yup, and didn’t Mrs. Edwards just do a political commercial where she invoked her cancer as an example of why we need health care changed?
These people are shameless.
when did little Johnny serve Mrs. Edwards? Limbaugh even if he had passed the physical wouldn’t have been drafted given his draft number.
If our troops had her armor we could cut the numbers in half.
Libs hate the truth and they hate those such as Rush Limbaugh who tell it like it is. When you don’t have anything nice to say, shoot the messenger. Lib losers.
Girls were exempt from the draft.
If Elizabeth’s classmates went to Vietnam, why didn’t the Breck Girl? Or is Elizabeth MUCH older than the Breck Girl?
I’m curious who is the pitcher and who is the catcher in the Edwards marriage.
She obviously plays the role of the male while he is a woman.
I am wondering if she really does have cancer....her mouth and travel has not slowed down since her announcement that she has cancer...
I hope this is not the case...I am not accusing but I am curious...
Because liberal men are emasculated and can’t keep ‘em satisfied.
Way to increse your toxicity, Elizabeth. If you have only so long to live, why would you waste 1 second of it doing anything but loving your family and trying to find a cure for the disease that will probably claim your life?
Democrats will do anything to get and hold on to power.
I think I’ve discovered the liberals’ problem. They don’t know when to shut up.
What did Howard Dean and Bill Clinton do during the war?
He considered joining the Navy after that Village People song came out, but gave up when someone told him the real Navy had standards.
I am getting sick of this hag.
Don't ask, don't tell.
