RUSH: I mentioned just in passing right before the end of a segment that the Twitter storm erupted last night when it was learned the details of the marriage of Mike Pence and his wife, Karen. Leftists are appalled that Pence does not eat in public with women without his wife along. Theyre outraged at this. You should have seen the Twitter storm. He does not attend events with alcohol without her at his side.
Now, let me ask a question. If some leftists had a very, very open marriage well, lets look at the Obamas. Do you know where Barack Hussein O is right now? He is on a deserted island in Tahiti for a month with 54 men. Its the old Marlon Brando estate. Marlon Brando had an island. He was first interviewed from that island by Larry King Alive. And hes been there like a month, hes scheduled to be there a month. We havent heard a word about Michelle Obama, but there isnt any Twitter storm over this.
What if a different leftist couple went public with the details of their open marriage about how each partner sleeps with other people but they trust each other and they have great times together and they raise their kids. It would be celebrated, it would be applauded, the left would think that its a great example of openness and trust and tolerance. But the liberals on Twitter were beside themselves last night when they found out that Pence will not eat in public with women without his wife along.
Well, lets look at the opposite of that. Lets say one night pick your spot lets say at The Capital Grille. Lets say one night Mike Pence is in there having dinner with another woman, not his wife, and somebody in the media sees it, maybe snaps a picture, do you think there might be stories intimating something not right there? Do you think somebody would take notice and think it was odd? Could very well be. Nor does he attend events with alcohol without her. She is his prayer partner. Theyre really lambasting that. And he doesnt go anywhere with alcohol without her.
It sounds to me like you got a couple of really good friends here who protect each other and who do everything they can to protect their marriage. You know, I was mentioning this the first time, and I checked my email, and I got few emails from women saying not cool for a guy to go to dinner, a married guy, with a different woman, just not cool. Right? Tongues would wag.
Anyway, I found it interesting that the left went nuts, particularly feminazis. The feminazis on Twitter portrayed this as Mrs. Pence being a totally, 100 percent subservient. I dont know how you get that out of it, but they did.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: I got a quick question for you. What is the easiest question in Washington to answer? (singing Jeopardy theme song) What is the easiest question in Washington to answer? Actually its true anywhere, but were focusing on Pence and his marriage and how he wont go out to dinner with a woman without his wife present and all that. Whats the easiest question in Washington to answer?
The one that cannot be asked. Dont roll your eyes. Thats a profundity. The easiest question to answer is the one that cant be asked. Mr. Pence, what were you doing with your legislative aide last night at dinner? If you dont go to dinner with her, they cant ask the question. The easiest answer to a question is the one that cant be asked. Just another way of saying keep it on the straight and narrow, and nobody can hound you. You know where I got that? White comedian Paul Shanklin, as one of the guiding principles of his life. Easier to answer the questions that cannot be asked. So when he goes out (laughing)
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: I was just looking at one of these tweets in reaction to the Washington Post story on Pence refusing to eat with another woman in public without his wife being present. Some MTV personality said thats worse than Sharia. That is so backwards; thats worse than what the Muslims do to women. Thats such an insult to women.
Ha.
Go figure.
She must be very insecure
[[Feminazis on Twitter Erupt Over Pence Marriage]]
The fact that they are ‘outraged’ that a man loves his wife and values her enough to keep from even appearing immoral tells you everything you need to know about the NASTY feminists
Feminists are despicable
Lefties hate Trump and Pence. They will find reasons to criticize them no matter what they do.
Interesting. My wife has been in Thailand for the last 6 months. About a month ago, I went out to dinner with 3 of her female friends. Reminded me of why I don’t go out to dinner, with my wife or anyone else, LOL.
Actually, it was fun. But when you are out, there’s nowhere to run and hide. At least when my wife entertained them at our house, I could escape to the garage or somewhere.
So he loves his wife and doesn’t want to give her any reason to doubt him.
What a jerk! /s
He sounds like a stand-up guy, IMO.
“But when you are out, theres nowhere to run and hide. At least when my wife entertained them at our house, I could escape to the garage or somewhere.”

LOL! Men! LOL!
They probably wanted to catch up with you and your family, since she has been gone a long time. But I suppose you had to endure a lot of gossip. ;)
Hope your wife gets home safely!
My coworker is half my age and we sometimes spend business days on the road. I enjoy her company and she enjoys mine however we know our boundaries. There’s just no way either of us are going to get romantically inclined crossing that boundary. She’s a gorgeous woman too but we aint going there. Who wants or needs the complications and headaches.
I am professional engineer, work in an environment in which 95% of my coworkers and clients are men. I am married. I absolutely do not go out to lunch, dinner or for drinks with only a single male colleague. In my younger years I suppose I was considered “hot” because I got hit on a lot. It was always very awkward and I finally got fed up for good. My “no lunches/dinners for two” policy with male colleagues has served me well for the last 25 plus years.
I think it’s fabulous that the FemiNazis are in a nasty Twitter uproar about Mike Pence’s happy marriage. The opposite of a feminist: a happily married woman.
The world has been despising good for such a long time I’ve lost count.
I yearn for that Harpazo soon.
When I worked for IBM, company policy was that if a male manager was meeting with a female colleague in his office, he always had to keep the door open. Same with female managers meeting with male colleagues.
Of course, in this insane culture of LGBTQ-E-I-E-I-O, this good policy has probably been shredded. Why? Let me guess: it assumes heterosexuality and is therefore offensive to the tiny percent who don’t know what the h*ll their gender or sex habits are.
He also would not open his hotel room door if he was alone in the room....wise man.
The rules about accepting hospitality were strict.
Lunch with the branch manager.....OK. Dinner ....no way, unless invited to dine with his family.
Made sense.
And the left is completely mum about the sexual adventures of bill clinton, ted kennedy, etc. yet wants to lecture Christians on what Jesus would do. That’s why I don’t care at all what liberals think.......they are hypocrites that fake outrage.
“This is matter no ones business for anyone outside of the Pence family.
And when Bubba was whoring around with Monica, et al., it was “a personal matter” and nobody was allowed to criticize him.
Extramarital affairs for Democrats: Good
Staying above reproach for Republicans: Bad
Speaking as someone who has felt creeped out in business settings on occasion, I thank you for your consideration!
“Oh, isn’t he wonderful?! Michelle doesn’t have to worry about him!”
That and ... well ... he’s gay. She’s got that goin’ for her.
No gossip, I was eating with the gossipers. Years ago, I had a successful project with an electrical utility company. Their technicians wanted to buy me a beer. So they invited me to a local titty bar, no big deal. Some time later, their supervisor apologized to me. For what? He saw my company car (vanity plates) in the lot one late afternoon. He found out later that it was his guys who had invited me to that place. I didn't think anything of it, but some people do.
My wife is in Thailand long-term. But after 39 years of marriage, one gets used to the ebb and flow of life.
I was wondering why anyone would care. This very normally is a courtesy to a man’s wife that quite naturally would not want her husband fleeting about with other women. I started to read this article and quit halfway through and if anything I didn’t read was worth reading I apologies to the author. However I guess the size of the complaint is that some women exercising their Freudian enviable nature would desire to be men in as many respects as they possibly can and want men to actually treat them no different than he would treat he.
Social-science research shows this practice extends beyond politics and into the business world, and it can hold women back from key advancement opportunities. A 2010 Harvard Business Review research report led by Sylvia Ann Hewlett, the president of the Center for Work-Life Policy think tank, found that many men avoid being sponsorsworkplace advocatesfor women because sponsorship
can be misconstrued as sexual interest.

Of course at the bottom of all of this is what effect it might have on marriages in general or even in future of marrage surviving. and according to Gallup there is a dim glimmer of hope.
One might think that the institution of marriage is becoming outdated. Statistics show that half of all marriages that occur today will end in divorce, and more people are choosing to live together as partners or delay marriage. But, marriage must have its attractions, because most of those who have failed at it once try again.
And now gay couples are clamoring for their right to enter into matrimony.
