The wife of vice presidential hopeful John Edwards is defending Whoopi Goldberg after the potty-mouthed comedienne attacked President Bush with an X-rated monologue at Thursday night's Kerry-Edwards fundraiser in New York.

Rejecting calls for her husband's campaign to apologize for Goldberg's outburst, Mrs. Edwards said Friday that the anti-Bush tirade was justified.

"A lot of people are going to be angry - there's a lot to be angry about," she told reporters at a fundraising breakfast on Manhattan's West side. "It's a free country and people are going to express that anger."

So she is basically saying that theirs is the party of Anger

At least she's honest enough to tell America that, of the "Two Americas", the Democratic party is the party of anger and hatred. I bet their Convention is going to be more psychotic than Wellstone's funerally.

I found it...and READ IT WRONG!!

He filed the personal injury suit after his son's death, but it was for another client! Apologies!

Anyhow, here's the article...found it on the Fox News site. This one's been formatted differently, and therefore may be a corrected version : http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,124771,00.html This link should open in a new window.

Now I'm really running late and gotta go. Sorry I was wrong about that.

some stuff...

You might say I'm stretching it, but I believe that Elizabeth Edwards, wife of candidate John Edwards, has gone negative . . . against First Lady Laura Bush! She said, "My dad was a Navy pilot for 30 years, so I grew up basically in airports all over the world. . . . Someone asked me one time — ABC Radio — they said Laura Bush had her mother-in-law to teach her how to be First Lady. . . . Having lived in the military overseas, I was taught that every time I walked off the boat I was an ambassador for my country . . ." Jay Nordlinger at NRO

You missed one very important point. She is married to a man who is running for Vice-President, who proclaims to support family values.

I will say this to you Mrs. Edwards; If this is your idea of family values, I would love to see your children in a few years.


"A lot of people are going to be angry - there's a lot to be angry about," she told reporters at a fundraising breakfast on Manhattan's West side. "It's a free country and people are going to express that anger."

Mrs. Edwards, was Whoopi Goldberg expressing anger, or having a childish temper tantrum. Mrs. Edwards, there is a difference in expressing anger, and just plain being obnoxious.

"Who is that brunette on the far right?"



I'm guessing she's their eldest daughter.

She makes Hillary's hips and thighs look as slim and trim as Suzanne Somers' (sp?).

We sure don't need another old crusty, pansuit wearing person NEAR the White House.

This Morning : Rejecting calls for her husband's campaign to apologize for Goldberg's outburst, Mrs. Edwards said Friday that the anti-Bush tirade was justified. "A lot of people are going to be angry - there's a lot to be angry about," she told reporters at a fundraising breakfast on Manhattan's West side. "It's a free country and people are going to express that anger."

This afternoon : "The views expressed by the performers were their own views," campaign Manager Mary Beth Cahill told reporters Friday. "It is not what Senator Kerry and Senator Edwards would say and they don't approve of some of the comments that have been made."

HOUSTON, WE HAVE A PROBLEM!

On the far right in the Edwards' family picture is their oldest daughter.
