Media Deep-Sixing Liz Edwards' Whoopi Tape

The Kerry-Edwards campaign won't release its videotape of Whoopi Goldberg's X-rated attack on President Bush during Thursday night's Democratic fundraiser at Radio City Music Hall.

But the press has decided to deep-six another, perhaps even more damaging tape - a recording of would-be second lady Elizabeth Edwards enthusiastically endorsing Whoopi's ugly rant.

Friday morning, Metro Network News reporter Glenn Schuck caught up with Mrs. Edwards on Manhattan's West Side. And when he asked about Goldberg's raunchy routine, she wasn't fazed a bit.

"A lot of people are going to be angry [at President Bush] - there's a lot to be angry about," she told Schuck. "It's a free country and people are going to express that anger."

Unfortunately [for Democrats], Schuck was rolling tape - and Mrs. Edwards' Whoopi blooper was broadcast at least once that day on New York's WABC Radio. [Schuck later confirmed to NewsMax that he did indeed interview Mrs. Edwards and recorded her remarks].

Hours after Mrs. Edwards put her foot in her mouth, the Kerry-Edwards team was furiously backpedalling on the Whoopster's outburst, with campaign manager Mary Beth Cahill insisting to reporters that Sen. Kerry, "does not approve of some of the remarks that were made last night and he has made that clear."

But what about Mrs. Edwards? Does Whoopi's filthy attack on President Bush still meet with her approval?

We don't know because the press won't confront her with her own taped comments, let alone play them in any of their news coverage of the still-swirling controversy.

But Metro News and WABC has the tape. [And so does NewsMax.] The mainstream press won't be able to keep this one bottled up much longer.

Well then, why doesn't WND give a copy of their tape to Fox News?

[EggsAckley]

I predict that Lizzie is going to become a huge albatross hanging around Little John's neck.

[Piquaboy]

People should not quit until it is released, but it is going to be a hard row to hoe.

[FormerACLUmember]

The censorship and deceitful manipulation of the news by the massively dominant democrat party media is beyond amazing.

Little websites like Free Republic are twenty-first century Samizdat, the underground free press of the old Soviet Union.

[hope]

Yep, her mouth is about as big as the other end.

[hope]

Gosh, that's the truth!

Clearly, Elizabutt is the poster child of Slimfast--and it looks like it doesn't work.

Perhaps Slimfast ought to be sued for wrongful fat?

[arly]

can anyone tell me where I might find the Whoopi outburst?
I missed the miscreants ravings.

[mabelkitty]

She's Hillary redux.
No doubt.
I'm wondering, though, when the whispers about Edwards social life will start. I just have this feeling....

[mabelkitty]

Slim Fash is a huge contributor to the Dems.
On counterpunch, there is an amazing article about how Gephardt and Kerry funded the ads to destroy Dean (using funds from Torecelli and this Slim Fast guy).

[Felis_irritable]

My (oh-so-polite) input to Slim Fast:

I have always thought Whoopi Goldberg was a little too sharp for my taste (I mean her first name is a double-entendre, for crying out loud...) but her latest vulgar remarks about the President are beyond the pale. I don't know why you would want to keep such a polarizing, vulgar individual as a spokesperson. There are many diet products out there, and I would think you would want a positive image with no baggage to pitch your product.

Friday morning, Metro Network News reporter Glenn Schuck caught up with Mrs. Edwards on Manhattan's West Side.

It couldn't have been too hard to have "caught up" with Mrs. E. It doesn't appear she would move very fast.

[ClearCase_guy]

"It's a free country and people are going to express that anger."

A pet Peeve. The Leftists pull this one out all the time. It allows them to say anything at any time. BUT, if a Republican were to criticize Kerry's stance on tax policy, the response is immediate: "How dare you criticize his patriotism? Your remarks are completely out of line!!"

[hope]

It should be Slime Fast because of the side effects....Slime Fast=Whoopi Cushion Bowl Spew..No suprise. What else would come out of her mouth?

[hope]

Bowl=Bowel

[CROSSHIGHWAYMAN]

Fat chance!

[kittymyrib]

She's a lawyer too. Another lawyer couple just like the Clintons. How could we be so lucky.

[Tamzee]

Another Freeper called her "Elizabutt" and I thought it was a poke at her weight.

Now I realize he was simply referring to the location of her brains.
