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."

And btw, the Bush campaign hasn't said one bad word about Elizabeth Edwards, but I see you slyly and deceptively act all injured and outraged as if they have.

Give me a break.

resist the name calling

I agree. For such petty comments conserviatives get called "mean-spirited." We can win arguments on the issues and should not want to get side-tracked with discussing name-calling.

Sounds like the soulmate of Teresa Kerry alright!

[Rastus]

When you personally attack Mrs. Edwards for her weight, you are joining Whoopi in the Mosh Pit. We have plenty of "fatties" on our team. No use in descending to their value level. I hope we hold to better values.

The one exception is Mikey Moore, right? Don't take that away from us! :)

conserviatives

conservatives as well

Why do you think Hillary wanted Edwards for Veep? So we'd make fun of someone else's thighs for a while.

LOL. I think she's more worried about the cankles.

[cyncooper]

Or, maybe Cheney should just leave the room if he doesn't like a question.

Hahahahahahahaha

Boy, do you have Cheney pegged wrong. The only ones likely to leave a room if they don't like a question are the dems. Like Clinton when Hume asked him that question years ago. You know these dems, including batman and robin here, go around pointing their bony fingers at everybody and doing the "do you know who I AM" crap. Open your eyes and check it out.

*L*

Betcha there are some babes...

babes... I'm beginning to wonder if there aren't some fella's

[Lijahsbubbe]

Do you recall Laura Bush blasting any of the Dems this way? Now, or Al Lunatic Gore in '00?

Great point!

[cyncooper]

Bush campaign spokesman Steve Schmidt responded, "It is a great example of John Kerry's priorities that on the day he said he did not have time to receive his intelligence briefing on threats to America, he found time to attend a Hollywood fund-raiser, filled with enough hate and vitriol to make Michael Moore blush."

I LOVE this response.

"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."

Oh, my....she's going to live to regret saying that.

IT'S ON!!!

[L.N. Smithee]

Heinz EZ Squirt, huh?

(Insert Clinton joke here.)

"Free to express their hatred of President Bush with language you wouldn't hear from a 2 year old. The Democratic Party has really gone to pot.

No, they were merely smoking pot......

[Lijahsbubbe]

Ugliness bubbles up from deep inside us, like methane from under a swamp

Good line!!!

[Lijahsbubbe]

Lurch, the Breck girl and Nurse Ratchett all look as if their on psychotropic drugs. Am I off base here? I'm quite serious.

I agree. But Theresa is a special case. Somethin's really going on there.

[Lijahsbubbe]

However, he is a good looking man

He is too feminine looking for me to find him attractive. I wonder if he shaves.

At any rate, I can easily see him in tights, cradling a crown in his arms. I hearby proclaim him,

PRINCE EDWARDs

[DoughtyOne]

You can't defend this type of behavior. You can admit that you are as baseless and rank as the perp, but that's about it.

In this instance Edwards has outed herself. There isn't a thimblefull of class spread around the whole democrat party membership.

[Mamzelle]

re: I wonder if he shaves.)))

snicker.

[cyncooper]

What you said! I think you have nailed it.
