After all this slime coming out of his filthy mouth, I wanted to see what kind of woman would marry this pig.

[img][/img]

Her name is Kathryn Rogers...wife number 4.
[img][/img]

She's 26 years younger than him.
She is a party planner, worked for Florida Super Bowl hosting & met pigman when she was hosting a golf charity event.

She's really pretty. Educated. Talented.
So tell me what does she see in Rush?

If you say his money, you know what that would make her - don't you?
But then again, why does a 33 year old woman want a man that needs viagra? And needs to look after his health?


thoughts?
----------------

On edit - I have gotten some pushback on this thread saying that Dems are better than this.
My reply is that Rush has been married 4 times and never once did I have the desire to find out about his wives - until tonite.
If he didn't go on this latest attack, I most likely never would have cared. But after calling Sandra Fluke a slut and a prostitute and wanting her to post sex tapes - yes - I wanted to know what kind of women would be married to a man like that.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. There isn't enough money in the world...

[jillan]

2. Agreed! But what is this woman's problem? She obviously could do alot better.

[Monk06]

42. I don't think a forty something event planner can do better than banging a pig who brings in

30 million a year. They deserve each other.

[Tom Ripley]

59. I really did laugh out loud. That was beautifully said.

[Hotler]

64. The word "Whore" comes to mind. n/t

[Texasgal]

3. God.. no shit.

I agree.

Millions of dollars could never even ENTICE me.

[madaboutharry]

21. +1

[Sarah Ibarruri]

4. Yes. Some people will sell their very soul for money. To me, it'd be like

sleeping with a pig in exchange for money.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

6. If I had to choose I'd take the pig.

[Sarah Ibarruri]

92. It'd be more interesting, cleaner and prettier. nt

[JanetLovesObama]

5. She obviously does not want children.

This is Limpball's fourth wife and he yet to get one pregnant. I remember wife No. 2 when he spoke about how hard they were trying to get pregnant. Sterile bastard.

[asjr]

8. Ha, guess it wan't hard enough!

[virgogal]

11. Nothing wrong with being sterile. It happens.

[LynneSin]

115. In his case - thank goodness for small miracles

Who wants to have mini-me Rush Limbaughs running around in this world. Let's get this gene pool cleaned up and a good dousing of bleach.

[crunch60]

35. No procreation for Rushbo, thank you Lord. Don't mean to be unkind, but

this is one dude I'm grateful is sterile. These two just don't look like an Ozzie and Harriet type.

[Cal33]

62. Who can say? Maybe if he had children he might have been less bitter about life.

[crunch60]

70. If Rush loved children or wanted them, he could have adopted long ago. Not everyone

should have children, they resent them for infringing on their life. I think Rush is one of those types. He has been a very bitter man for a long time.

[Cal33]

75. You've got some good points there. I also wonder what the relationship between

Limbaugh and his mother was like.

[shanti]

93. yes, i also wonder

about his mother. there's little info out there in cyberspace about her. has it all been scrubbed?

[Horse with no Name]

89. Rush loves him some little prepubescent boys

He would NOT have been a good father. I'd even be concerned about letting him have pets.

[emilyg]

45. Many sterile man. Bet there

are some on DU. Insesitive of you.

[crunch60]

88. I said Some Men, and also Some Women should not have children. I did not say I

was happy for anyone being sterile, Only Rush, and that was meant as a sarcastic comment especially for Rush, because I think he is a vile man. You read what you wanted to into my post.

[emilyg]

104. My comment was directed. at Janet - not you

[crunch60]

108. thanks for clarifying that.

[malaise]

7. If they're not making babies

You know what she is...????

[Summer Hathaway]

9. Here's a better question ...

Why is any of this anyone else's business, other than the woman herself?

Why is it necessary to drag people's wives and children (e.g. Breitbart's as of late) into the discussion? If his wife were a public figure, had an equally obnoxious radio show, publicly made statements similar to his, she would be fair game. But she's not, and she hasn't.

Spew as much vitriol at Rush as you like - he's got it coming.

But speculating on his wife's personal feelings, her motives for marrying him, etc., just wreaks of the same RW tactics liberal Democrats have decried for years.

We should be better than that. Really.

[nolabear]

12. Thanks. It's a road we don't want to go down.

[steve2470]

14. I agree

She's already enduring enough punishment being married to him.

[jillan]

15. First of all - it's his 4th wife. Second of all

you were obviously curious enough to click on this thread and respond.... just saying.

I was curious to see what his wife was like because if my husband constantly berated women the way Rush does, I would not be able to stay married to him.

As I said - she is beautiful, educated and talented.

[Summer Hathaway]

51. I am not quite understanding

what "first of all, it's his 4th wife" means.

Are wives accorded their right to privacy based on their order in the sequence? Does a Wife #1 have more rights to her personal life than, say, a Wife #4?

Curious enough to click on the thread? Yes, I was. That's because, being as I was on a political discussion board, I (very wrongly, as it turns out) thought this might be an OP about something of political import.

You know, "Rush's wife makes a public statement on ...," that kind of thing.

I was not anticipating a Midnight-Star-Tattler-Tell-All type of piece. My mistake.

[The Doctor.]

19. He made her fair game.

And now she has an excuse to divorce his fat ass and take several million with her.

Sorry if you don't like it, but while he goes after other people's family and causes grief, he should be faced with the same scrutiny coming home to roost. These assholes never fucking learn until they have to suffer the same bullshit they subject others to.

He should be tormented, he should be bullied, he should suffer the same crap he dishes out. There is no greater justice than someone suffering the same torment they dish out to others without just cause, I hope she starts hearing about this. I hope she recognizes how little respect people see that he has for her and all women, and I hope she files for divorce and gets a ton of cash out of it.

[crunch60]

36. She must think what he say's is OK, otherwise how could she live with him, or else it's the $$$$

[The Doctor.]

38. In a nutshell.

[Summer Hathaway]

50. "He should be tormented

he should be bullied, he should suffer the same crap he dishes out."

I don't disagree that he should reap what he has sown. She, on the other hand, has done nothing - and if you're going to say she is somehow guilty via marriage, you can save it. It's nonsense.

This need to drag the wives, children, and other family members of political enemies into the fray just smacks of everything liberals abhor in other people - people exactly like Rush Limbaugh.

You know, it's not like this can even be contrived into being something that's relevant, no less necessary. If you posted about every vile thing this man has said over the years, you'd run out of energy before you ran out of on-point references. No need to look elsewhere in the family tree for fodder, is there?

Why did someone marry this man? Why does she stay with him? That's none of your business. And it's not anyone else's either.

Keep your eye on the deserving target - looking elsewhere is a juvenile distraction.

[The Doctor.]

74. If a woman CHOOSES to be with a nasty, lying, misogynistic,

philandering asshole, then she really shouldn't be surprised if people make any kind of character judgment about her. HE dragged her into this when he attacked ALL women. It is only natural that people are going to point out that he's married and that his rant about birth control must also apply to her.

This woman is either in agreement with Rush's methods or she married him for his money and is willing to 'look the other way' from his nastiness. Neither of those reflects well on her.

Either way, if she didn't want to be subject to scrutiny, she shouldn't have married such a particularly infamous and vile celebrity. I will not be told that I should not voice my opinion of their relationship. You can have any opinion of that you'd like. But in my opinion, if we pointed these things out more as a society, people would be less inclined to make such shallow and self-serving choices as she apparently has.

Then people like Limbaugh would find themselves more alone in their anti-social behavior. There used to be shame in our society. It used to prevent people from outright lying and being deliberately unreasonable or irrational. Maybe we should bring some of that back.

[Summer Hathaway]

77. I get it now

"This woman is either in agreement with Rush's methods or she married him for his money and is willing to 'look the other way' from his nastiness. Neither of those reflects well on her."

I didn't realize you know Rush's wife personally - which is the only way you could know what her personal motivation is or was in marrying him. I'm sure you wouldn't just make things up out of thin air, and then present them as fact.

"if we pointed these things out more as a society, people would be less inclined to make such shallow and self-serving choices as she apparently has."

I see. So you believe that you should decide who women should marry, and "shame" them into changing their minds if they choose someone who you think unsuitable.

Glad we got that all straightened out.

[The Doctor.]

78. Don't be ridiculous.

I never said or suggested that I should decide anything for any adult but myself. Typically, you create a strawman to whack at rather than deal with what I actually said.

I'm over here, not over there.

You don't have to read the woman's mind to know that there are only one of two realities: She approves of who he is or she doesn't care about who he is. It doesn't take a rocket surgeon to figure out that if it's the former, she's a nasty piece of work herself, or if it's the latter, she didn't marry him out of love.

That such a deduction seems somehow 'magical' to you simply tells me you're not capable of doing the same.

I've stated my opinion and more than sufficiently explained how I came to it and why I'm willing to voice it. If you don't like it, just say so. No need to make shit up to argue against because you can't figure out another way to shut me up.

[Summer Hathaway]

79. Shut you up?

Hardly. I merely stated your own words back to you.

"You don't have to read the woman's mind to know that there are only one of two realities ..."

If you honestly believe that there are 'only two realities' possible here - well, quite frankly, I can't narrow my mind enough to even get into that kind of thinking.

People marry for all kinds of reasons - reasons you couldn't possibly know, unless you are a close personal friend and they've confided such things to you.

I'm amazed at all of the I-know-everything people here. They even know what goes on in someone else's innermost thoughts.

You're free to voice your opinion. But when you base that opinion on pure speculation that you're presenting as fact, it becomes as silly as it is tiresome.

[The Doctor.]

82. One is either pregnant or one is not.

A light is either on or off.

It is either day or night.

That you refuse to understand that there exist inescapable dichotomies does not make what I've said untrue.

She either accepts him (and his behavior), or she does not. The conclusions from there are fairly easy to reach. Either her character is in question, or her motives are in question.


So what reason for her marrying him can you come up with that escapes the conclusions that "She accepts him" or "She doesn't accept him"?

[Summer Hathaway]

84. I'm sorry, but

I am not interested in venturing into your narrow, black-or-white world.

I don't have to come up with her reason for marrying him, because I accept the fact that (a) I don't know what goes on in other people's private relationships and (b) I accept that other people's private relationships are none of my business.

You obviously accept neither.

Have yourself a lovely evening No doubt you'll soon find someone else you don't know - and you can 'divine' their private thoughts, emotions, and motives with your awesome mind powers, and post about them!

[The Doctor.]

85. Your inability to understand actual dichotomy

Does not mean that I 'read minds'.

[Summer Hathaway]

90. Your inability

to accept that you don't know what goes on in other people's personal lives or their minds, and yet speak about those things as though you DO know, can only lead one to believe you read minds - or purport to, anyway.

I find this all incredibly amusing - in a Midnight Tattler kind of way; statements based on pure speculation taken out of someone's ass touted as fact: "Gwyneth Paltrow Pregnant with Rupert Murdoch's Baby! Angelina Jolie and Meryl Streep Entangled in Torrid Lesbian Affair!"

"DUer Determines Limbaugh's Wife's Two Possible Motives for Marrying!"

We need threads like this - and the other one you've now started. Because the inquiring mindless want to know.

[The Doctor.]

116. Then name one. I've asked you, but you have nothing.

Last edited Tue Mar 6, 2012, 08:55 AM - Edit history (2)

Name a reason to marry Limbaugh that has neither to do with affection or money.

That's all you have to do to prove me wrong or make my opinion 'invalid'.


You're getting chased out of the thread on this challenge.

[Summer Hathaway]

117. Quite the challenge

Name a reason to marry - Limbaugh or anyone else - that has nothing to do with affection or money?

I can't imagine a marriage that is not based on one or the other. Some are based on money - aren't all the others based on affection?

Perhaps you can name the third 'option' which includes neither.

I'll be chased out of this thread? Wow. I'm really scared now.

[The Doctor.]

118. No matter what the answer, it casts a shadow on her character or motives.

There's no way around it.

[Summer Hathaway]

119. Yeah, okay, hmmmm

Whatever you say. Right.

You seem to be obsessed with this. It might be healthy for you to move on to another topic.

[The Doctor.]

120. I asked a question and you are doing your very best to avoid answering it.

While trying to get me to 'walk away'.

You don't realize how transparent that is, do you?


Let's have some reason, besides money or genuine affection, that she married him. I think I'll go with 'alien mind control'. That sounds reasonable, right?


Oh wow, I actually just noticed this. You said: "I can't imagine a marriage that is not based on one or the other. Some are based on money - aren't all the others based on affection?"

So.... you can't 'imagine' something outside of that 'black and white' notion?

Perhaps you should review your posts where you 'refuse' to agree with my 'black and white' notion here.

[Summer Hathaway]

121. Money and affection

would each include hundreds of variables. And consideration of one does not necessarily preclude consideration of the other.

As for answering your question, I thought I'd made my position quite clear on this topic from the outset:

Whatever reasons any woman has for marrying is her business, not mine - nor yours.

Why this particular woman married Limbaugh is of absolutely no interest to me. Never has been, never will be.

Your obsession with this topic is tiresome. And your defensiveness ("trying to get me to walk away&quot is downright silly.

You can carry on this obsessive need to beat a dead horse all you want. I have better things to do. You obviously don't.

[The Doctor.]

122. Uh-huh.

You've utterly contradicted yourself and I'm guessing you have no idea you've done so. Either that, or you finally realized what I was talking about with 'inescapable dichotomies' and you're looking for a way to avoid admitting it.

Either way, we're done here.

[crunch60]

97. Well, tell me this then, why do You think she married Rush? Would you care to speculate.?

[Summer Hathaway]

99. No, I don't care to speculate

I realize that speculation is all the rage here these days - but I'd rather deal with facts.

I am not the least bit interested in why Ms. Limbaugh married the man. Nor do I think her reasons for doing so are any of my business - or, in the great scheme of things, of any consequence.

There is much to be said about the man himself - based on his own words and behavior, no speculation necessary.

Why some find it somehow compelling to bring his wife into the discussion is beyond me. Perhaps their local grocery store was out of gossip magazines, and they're just trying to fill the void left in their lives.

But that, too, is pure speculation on my part.

[crunch60]

102. Well here's a book on it, very interesting Speculation, lot's of books on this subject.

It's about understanding and learning, not gossip. Interesting informative reading.

Book title:

Men Who Hate Women and the Women Who Love Them: When Loving Hurts and You ..and you don't know why
.
By Dr. Susan Forward, Joan Torres

[Summer Hathaway]

103. I'm not married to

"a man who hates women". Therefore, this book is of no interest to me.

Again I will restate my position: Why the current Ms. Limbaugh married this man - or why any of his former wives did - is their own business. Not mine. Not yours.

And any speculation on the matter is just that - pure speculation, with no basis in any facts we are privy to.

It's not like Limbaugh hasn't said enough - his words being fact, not speculation - that one has to go digging into his marriage to find something objectionable to opine upon.

I am patiently awaiting the next time some RW douchebag "speculates" about the wife of a prominent Democrat, and presents that speculation as fact.

No doubt the same people who are discussing Rush's wife now will be the first to point out that non-public figures like wives should be off limits, and 'speculation' as to their private thoughts and motives is reprehensible.

I always thought RW tactics were abhorred here - apparently they are now being embraced. What a shame.

[crunch60]

106. Curious mind's just want to know. I've learned so much from books.

[emilyg]

105. Why do you care?

Their marriage. Their reasons.

[LanternWaste]

111. Of course we'll rationalize acting

Of course we'll rationalize acting ugly and vulgar towards an individual who has done nothing to us.

We'll blame Rush for our vulgarity, we'll blame her for our incivility, we'll blame the situation for reducing our own ethics... we'll blame anyone for this vulgarity of ours except ourselves.

[The Doctor.]

113. Is that Andalusian?

Your High Horse, I mean.

You're right, of course. No one should ever be allowed to state their opinion about people whose motives might be ignoble. It's obviously wrong to point out people's behavior and motives. Civilization is so much better off when people feel no shame about their disgusting words or choices... right?

So sorry. I'll try to keep the rules of the new DU in mind.

[Johonny]

66. don't think she can

part of the prenup when they married I believe stated they had to stay together +10 years for her to get any $. So she didn't marry him for a quick $. Why do people marry are attracted to rich, powerful, famous men? IDK but look at all the Rich powerful men out there and they get women easy. If it is just Rush wife that's one thing, but in general a large amount of women out there are attracted to famous men. So insulting her is insulting to a huge population of women. Is every women married to a less than attractive actor, politician etc a slut? No. The whole thread is stupid.

[Crunchy Frog]

46. She knew what she was marrying when she chose to marry it,

and all the baggage that came with it.

I'm sure that her financial settlement will more than make up for any of his flung shit that happens to fly in her direction.

And no, I'm not better than that. But I'm not a public figure either.

[Summer Hathaway]

52. Well, as you've said yourself

you're not better than that.

[emilyg]

47. Thank you.

[magical thyme]

72. she chose to marry a public figure who's a known mysogenist

Once he publicly spewed his hateful, mysogenystic personal attacks on a private citizen attempting to testify before congress, he made his personal business our business.

We have an interest in seeing the non-slut he's married to, to determine what it is about her that makes her non-procreative sex with a pig non-slutty.

[shanti]

94. you lay down with dogs...

Last edited Mon Mar 5, 2012, 03:08 AM - Edit history (1)

i'm sure you know the rest.

[Summer Hathaway]

95. Actually

the way I know it is that if you lay down with dogs, you get up with fleas.

But no matter. I think it's of paramount importance that people bypass all of the vile things Limbaugh has said and focus their attention - and their unending speculation - on his wife.

So what if it's the same thing right-wingers do? So what if everything said about Limbaugh's wife is pure speculation - about what she thinks, her reasons for marrying him, etc. - why not comment on the non-facts as though they were true?

So what if actual discussion about the man himself, instead of his wife, would be more in keeping with intelligent discourse on what purports to be a political website?\

Nah! Let's just make shit up about his wife's personal feelings and motives, and discuss THAT instead.

Well, as you said - or attempted to say: When you lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas. And those are some nasty RW-tactic fleas people here are so anxious to get up with - or get down with, as the case may be.

[shanti]

107. yeah, whatever

you got the gist of my post.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

10. One morning she's going to wake up inside his stomach

especially if he didn't have his usual side of beef the day before.

[Morning Dew]

71. This

is one of the many reasons I love DU.

[Warpy]

13. I don't find her pretty, the smile goes nowhere near her eyes.

She's got Barbara Bush eyes, dead eyes, flat eyes, opaque eyes.

She's a toy, a trophy, and an automatic hostess for The Great Man.

In ten years, she'll be able to retire a rich divorcee.

[Horse with no Name]

91. It is what happens when you sell your soul to the devil

and while I could not lay down with that piece of swine shit...she obviously does. There would only be a handful of reasons.

She is self-loathing, loves money more than life itself, or, maybe she is one of those women who hate other women...so his vile comments don't faze her. I couldn't say.

But your observations are spot on. She isn't happy. But this is possibly just a career move--and she will suck it up(sorry for the graphic) until the day she can pass GO and collect millions of dollars. Personally I don't have that strong of a constitution or that much patience!

[aquart]

73. I'm going to point out that there are a lot of fat, lovable, well-loved people.

People marry them all the time.

Also, there are people with specific tastes who might find Rush just dandy.

I have an acquaintance who LIKES furries and dungeons and other things I haven't figured out so it is indeed possible that there is someone for everyone out there.

[crunch60]

101. I agree with you on that, someone for everyone. I am more upset with Rush for the

garbage that comes out of his mouth, rather than the garbage he put's into it. Over indulgence in drugs takes it's tole on one's body. Addiction is a terrible thing to live with, I think that contributes to his anger problems, as it was with Breitbart.

20. Yes. Because all men who are vile misogynist assholes are gay... there is not one

straight misogynist asshole.

Face it, alittlelark, Rush is a vile straight white man who is also a racist, a woman hater, and a homophobe.

[2ndAmForComputers]

25. No... not gay. Something else... something icky and disturbing.

What exactly, I'm not sure.

[alittlelark]

34. He's not gay. He vacations in the Dom. Republic w/viagra

Lots of Viagra... In a place known for very young prostitutes of both genders.

Calling someone a 'beard' means they are covering something up.

nuf said.

[Ms. Toad]

44. No. A 'beard' is a specific reference

to using an opposite gender partner as a cover for a lesbian/gay man who does not want to be identified as such. More often for a gay man than a lesbian.

Using homosexuality as an insult only "works" if homosexuality is considered to be a bad thing. I hope you will consider deleting your hurtful post.

[FreeState]

81. +1000

This is one thing I miss about DU2 - threads of this nature were closed down. I get so sick of people implying enemies of the LGBT community are gay or even worse child molesters.

[MicaelS]

100. The first time I ever saw / read the term "beard"

Was in relation to Joseph P. Kennedy Sr. Kennedy was a serial adulterer, and used other men as to cover up he fact he was dating other women while his wife was at home raising the children. The term "beard" was specifically used to reference these men.

I thus reject your attempt to relate the term beard strictly to lesbians and gays.

[stevenleser]

86. You may not know this, but calling someone like Rush 'gay' without evidence is offensive to the LGBT

community. I humbly ask that you remove this post.

[alittlelark]

96. I never implied he was gay.

I implied that likes viagra and vacations to the Dom. Republic where little children are available.
I would lay odds that he does not have sexual relations w/ his wives.
They are for show and get paid for their services.

I doubt he is attracted to ANY adult.

I always thought a 'beard' was 1) a way to hide something - weak chin, acne scars...
2) a person deflecting attn from someones faults.


Wikipedia does not mention it, but the urban dictionary did.

I saw that someone else thinks I should delete it too. I'll try.

[stevenleser]

98. Thank you! Thanks so much for doing the right thing!

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

22. One complaint that Elton John often repeated was that the 2008 primaries were sexist against

Hillary Clinton. And yet, he sang for this total scumbag piece of shit excuse for a human being.

How does Elton feel now? Still defending Limpballs?!?

[GoneOffShore]

23. Wow, I hope she gets paid well for being a beard.

Because people say that Rush is actually into goats and sheep.

Because his father was shepard.

[Ms. Toad]

49. I hope you will consider deleting this.

"beard" is a specific reference used in connection with gay men. Using an allegation that someone is gay to attack them only "works" if being gay is perceived as negative. So making that allegation is hurtful to the LGBT individuals who encounter it.

[GoneOffShore]

68. Did you actually read beyond the post title?

I made a particular reference in the body of the post to the possibility of Limbaugh's being into to sheep and goats.

A beard could absolutely be seen in that context.

[stevenleser]

87. Yes, we read it, it is still considered offensive to the LGBT community. Please reconsider. nt

[GoneOffShore]

109. I don't wish to get into a pissing match, but no.

I used a term and made it context specific. Deal with it or put me on ignore.

Having a discussion on another forum and the most vocal family value Christian Ladies, see nothing wrong with what he's done. Disgusting.

and yet... apparently millions do.

29. I'll be so glad when this is over.

The tv has been flooded -- literally flooded -- with campaign ads for Romney, and even a few for Ron Paul.
Romney's ads talk about him as if he raised someone from the dead!
I shit you not.

And Ron Paul's ad makes him sound like he is Jesus, come to save us from the evil deficits.

And robocalls!
Just today I had 3 from Romney's campaign telling me how bad Santorum is for supporting Arlen Specter in 2004 and some other call telling me that Romney has worked for the middle class in this country!!!!

When the hell has Romney ever worked for the middle class of this country??

I'll be so glad when this is over.

Except for one thing, it ain't never gonna be over.
Rush Limbaugh will still be on the freakin' radio!!
Lying about Democrats. Lying about President Obama. Lying and smearing good people.
And getting paid outrageous sums of money for it.

who could go to a formal wedding for a guy's 4th marriage without snickering? I mean come on. Rush has to assume that people are coming for the free food and booze.

[sadbear]

39. The truth is in the pre-nups.

[FarLeftFist]

40. OF COURSE ITS THE MONEY.

[Monk06]

41. She's wearing white so she's a virgin then? Can you imagine the drivel that passes as conversation

between these two Philistines?

[Jennicut]

43. One word: money.

There is nothing wrong with marrying an older man. I am a year older then this woman and would marry an older man if he were nice. Nothing wrong with marrying a man that needs viagra. Many nice men have erectile dysfunction and it can be really devastating. But that man is a disgusting anti-women pig. She had to have married him for the luxurious lifestyle.

[emilyg]

48. Unrec. Leave the wife out of this.

[underpants]

61. Yes

I was hoping that no one here took that low hanging fruit.

This has been sitting there since his comments showed what he truly is but even as a joke (an actual joke) it was better to not go there. Self editing is important.

Unrec'ing too

[RebelOne]

80. Agreed. n/t

[Wash. state Desk Jet]

53. I have no doubt

Elton John preformed at the wedding out of curiosity more than anything else !

[Honeycombe8]

54. She loves him for his mind, I'm sure. And he loves her cooking.

[PDittie]

55. re: your "pushback" edit

IMHO this is one of the greatest failings of Democrats, liberals, progressives (these are not all-inclusive of course): unilateral disarmament, or turning the other cheek, or whatever way of phrasing "I surrender" you prefer.

We are not in a contest of wits with the other ideology. They are unarmed in that respect, so they choose weapons of mass destruction instead. You may have noticed by their verbiage and tone alone, never mind that the actual words and logic make no sense to any thinking person. In fact ignorance is exalted (ex. W, Palin). The more arrogant the ignorance, the better they like it.

Isaac Asimov said:

“Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.'”

The only thing that stops the shouting is when they stroke themselves out (ex. Breitbart).

Get rolled over or fight back. Yes, it's that black and white. Sun Tzu was right about a few things.

[sendero]

58. Yes...

.... I have long believed that by capitulating rhetorically the Democrats have ceded many issues to the Republicans.

To the great masses of Americans, if you cannot even defend your position with tough speech, maybe you don't really believe it.

Limbaugh has done more political damage to this country than anyone, and "we" Democrats let him by not hitting back in kind.

As for his trophy wife, dealing with HIS REPUTATION is part of the price.

And BTW, Asimov is a hero of mine, I agree 100% with just about everything he ever said. What happened to men like him, there are none any more.

[RBInMaine]

56. Just like Murdoch's wife and the Grinch's. SHOW ME THE MONEY !

Of course these attractive young women don't find these old assholes attractive. But when they have millions of dollars, yes, they will swallow their pride and marry them for the money. Uh, duh.

[PatSeg]

57. I never was curious about his wives

until he called a young woman a whore and prostitute.

I suppose it could be seen as unfair to go after his wife, but clearly she knew who and what she was marrying, so I don't see her as some innocent bystander.

[sarcasmo]

60. People are attracted to power and I think this relationship fits that bill.

[MrSlayer]

63. I read somewhere that she's a direct descendent of President John Adams.

I suspect that money wasn 't that big a concern to her. Of course, I could be wrong.

[RZM]

65. There's no way to know

Without knowing her personally.

[Bluenorthwest]

67. According to the President and others, all heterosexual marriages are 'Sanctified' and

'God is in the mix'. They say God personally creates these unions, in which they share a 'spiritual element' that only opposite sex couples like Mrs and Mr Newt and Mrs and Mr Rush can share.
I don't agree, of course.

[Cleita]

69. Obviously of the trophy wife species.

All the wealthy enclaves from Marin County to Newport Beach in California are full of them, both married and looking to be married, so it's no surprise to me that Florida would have them too. These women admittedly specialize in being wives to rich and powerful men. If they get dumped, or vice versa, they will move on to the next rich guy. Poor men, nor true love, other than that of money and luxury, are not on their radar. Fat, ugly and obnoxious men like Limbaugh know this but they don't care because they know their money will buy them the eye candy and sex. I've known a few of them so I know where their heads are. Sure they are pretty, educated and many of them have careers of sorts. It's part of the package.

[cherish44]

76. There are many reasons a young, pretty, blonde woman would marry an ugly, impotent, old fat guy

Who am I to speculate?

[Le Taz Hot]

110. Because just like Hugh Heffner

you just know these women would be marrying these men even if they were living in a trailer park in Barstow, CA while surviving on a Social Security check once a month.

[WI_DEM]

112. A gold digger

[LynneSin]

114. Same thing that #2 & #3 Mrs Trumps saw in Donald Trump

Donald Trump isn't attractive
He's actually a bit of an asshole with an overbloated ego.

But he's filthy rich and suddenly it doesn't matter what Trump looks like or what his personality is like. Any wife probably has to put out to Donald a few times a week and they're set for life financially.

As for her, if she was unattractive or old he wouldn't have given her the time of day. In a few more years he'll turn her in for a newer model. He'll be fatter and older and probably richer and she'll probably be even younger than the current wife.

It's a strange world out there

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

123. She's likely a professional gold digger

You see them all the time in the society pages. They went to school on mommy and daddy's dime, and possibly got a degree in some such public relations type thing, but they know nothing and little of that either. They have some bullshit job, and work their way in with the rich folks and quasi-celebs with a few contacts. Their only goal in life is to become known about town and hook the biggest fish that comes down the river. Obviously, she hooked the biggest pig. I feel little to no sympathy for her, because she's chosen this line of work to crawl into bed with this beast, but I do look forward to the day she seperates Fatso from his money.
