Appearing on an Air America show this afternoon Dr. Elizabeth Edwards determined that if Rush Limbaugh was unable to serve in the military due to a medical disability then he should also be unable to sit in a chair and talk into a microphone:
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.
Another despicable comment from the what else would you expect crowd.
She somehow neglected to mention that her husband went nowhere.
Wow! These Democrats are on a roll this week. They really are trying to energize the conservative base!
these people are plainly desperate
How do you "appear" on radio?
(She has a face made for radio).
The loonies are still attacking Rush, but the question is:
Do you believe Rush's deferment is equal to the Clinton run-to-Moscow avoidance of the Draft? or Kerry's meeting with the enemy in a Foreign Country, while still on duty? or the Democrats' demoralizing of troops during a war by telling them 'we have lost' or calling them "cold-blooded murderers"?
Last question: have you NO SHAME, Mrs. Breckgirl?
Which one is running for President? husband or wife? It is hard to tell.
And her husband is GOING nowwhere, too.
Geez! What a dog!
Elizabeth is a delusional idiot whose probably been rolling in the hay too much with Rosie O’Donut. What a deranged freak.
She has absolutely ZERO class.
Sometimes I think she and the little man she's married to had sex change operations and switched roles. One defiantly acts more butch than the other. :)
I’ll say it. cancer or not....
She’s an attention whore, nothing more.
These two clowns are a match made in heaven. Who do you know in your life that would stay in a political race when their spouse is dying from cancer? It’s easy. No one. She has amazing stamina and ability to keep her weight for someone dying from cancer. I’m just saying...
For the record: what reason was Rush (allegedly) deferred?
A non sequitor.
For example - I was born in a hospital and that qualifies me to be a doctor.
My mother's a breast cancer survivor. I really wish you wouldn't.
What an ugly, lying, vicious, mean spirited woman that is.
“was unable to serve in the military due to a medical disability then he should also be unable to sit in a chair and talk into a microphone.” .................. If Rush had one eye or one leg he would have been 4f. How would that affect his voice? What a duffus remark for someone with an education.
Pilonidal disease.
