What a piece of crap this guy is. His wife is in jail and he is blaming everbody but himself.p Get a life you moron, you are more to blame than your wife.

Not only was Rusty Yates with 4 family members in New York with Katie on Monday morning, he was with Larry King Live Monday night. Who's picking up the tab for him to fly all over the country, like a celebrity? He's being interviewed ever so gently, and the man seems to be lapping it up. He's promoting himself. Book deal? of course!!

I couldn't believe it when he told Larry King, yes, he would always support Andrea, but "the purpose of marriage is companionship and to bear children and with both those things gone"... Chills, he gave me chills. It's obscene to me that Rusty Yates is now in the self-promotional business of spinning.

If there is any serious consideration of appealing the verdict, I missed it.

Blame God...blame the woman.  It is an old game which has been played many times.  God killed Eli for being a milksop.  This guy will probably fare no better.

Ge 3:11 And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat? 12 And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.

If perchance he is representative of the new American male, God will surely say: Jer 5:9 Shall I not visit for these things? saith the LORD: and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?

I couldn't believe it when he told Larry King, yes, he would always support Andrea, but "the purpose of marriage is companionship and to bear children and with both those things gone"... Chills, he gave me chills.

I watched the LK interview also and got the same chills--Yates is clueless. How can any parent go though such a tragedy, the loss of the kids and essentially his wife, only to yak it up all over national TV the day she receives her formal sentencing. He has yet to learn how to moderate what he says and where he says it.

The selfish attitude Yates exhibited last night explains why he didn't recognize the serious problems in his own house.

Russell Yates misses jury duty, wife's sentencing to make talk show circuit -AP Breaking News
(03-19) 03:59 PST HOUSTON (AP) -- After weeks of attending his wife's capital murder trial, Russell Yates was absent on the one day he was legally obligated to be at the courthouse. Yates was a no-show for jury duty at the Harris...

He's beyond clueless - he's an evil manipulator. I watched about 10 minutes of LKL, and had to change the channel. He reminded me of a snake charmer.

[AppyPappy]

Yes but for every snake charmer, there are 10 women who will kill to get him.

[AppyPappy]

You'll notice she didn't advocate sterilizing Andre Yates, the real murderer.

I bet women start leaving this husbands to get a shot at this "man". He'll have plenty of offers.

[CAPPSMADNESS]

After watching Mr. Yates, all I can say is thank GOD I married a good a decent man, who not only helps out around the house - but has always helped out with his children!

[MaggieMay]

Yes, Rusty's God (made in Rusty's image)holds with the believe that "the purpose of marriage is companionship and to bear children and with both those things gone". Five victim's on the alter of this man's ego. Now, after the TV interviews, lawsuits and the bookdeals, it is time to just move on, and keep breeding. As he said after the trial "I kept taking Andrea to the doctor and they kept sending her home broken".

[Always Right]

Do Couric and King think they are doing this guy a favor by airing him. Over 90% of the people will think he is a babbling fool after seeing him. I saw parts of LK Live and even the screened calls were unfavorable although polite.

[D. Miles]

Hard to see when you head is swollen with ego. But, this does not suprise alot of us in TN (place where Yates comes from), this male , me, me, me attitude is prevalent in TN males! They have the assumption that wife means slave, and as long as they bring home the bacon, the rest is up to her!

Word to women who come across this guy, or one like him...run far, run fast!

[Illbay]

...He's morally culpable, not legally guilty.

Like the article says.

You need a refresher course in common law.

[Illbay]

...blame the woman.

So you're saying Andrea Yates DIDN'T do it? First I've heard of this.

[mombonn]

there are 10 women who will kill to get him.

Unfortunately, you are right. It makes no sense to me. My skin was crawling watching him to to Larry King.

[mombonn]

to to = talk to

Time for more coffee.

This is YOUR LEGACY Bill Clinton. Happy now? Your abusive attitude towards women while you were servicing yourself in the peoples' White House has come home to roost. You, Bill Clinton, and Russell Yates are, in my opinion, one in the same. Egotistical, manipulative and controlling.
