On John Edwards’ Affair: A Couple of Blind Items on Some Hypocrites I Know
By Debbie Schlussel
I’m glad the mainstream media finally exposed–if kicking and screaming–the hypocrisy of John Edwards. That said, even though I’ve made a couple of snide references to him on this site, his affairs are not the biggest issue with him. First of all, we know that this is Democratic family values, and sometimes, Republican ones (Newt Gingrich, David Vitter, etc.).
But second, the most objectionable thing to me about John Edwards will still and always be what an incredibly leeching, scumsucking trial lawyer he was and how he amassed his fortune off the backs of doctors and other professionals who actually provided something of substance to society. What he did in his marriage I just don’t care about so much as I do what he did to America and would have done more of had he been elected to the White House.
However, almost as objectionable to me are two very prominent, fraudulent conservative talk show hosts who’ve been going on and on and on and on over the last few weeks about Edwards, when both are currently married and both are known philanderers. I won’t say their names here for obvious reasons, but I will tell you about them, because hearing them carry on makes me see visions of giant black pots.
* First, there is the local conservative talk show host in a major market, on whose show I used to appear and whose show runs on a station that carries Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity. This senior fat pig–an uber-panderer of Sean Hannity’s–repeatedly called me at home and asked me about my dating situation, telling me,
You know, I’m really in love with you, and you know, my wife and I–even though we’re still married–our marriage is over and we’re just together for convenience, and we both have an understanding to do our own thing, so if you’re interested . . . .
Disgusting. Whenever they tell you they have an “understanding” with the wife, it’s a unilateral, imagined “understanding.” This person repeatedly called me and hit on me in this piggish manner. It creeped me out.
Yet, this hypocrite has been gloating over John Edwards. Hello . . .? And this scumbag recently guest-hosted a nationally syndicated radio show of another conservative. Sad. And gross.
* Then, there is the married nationally syndicated conservative talk show host who only hires female interns, assistants, and producers because he likes to proposition them. To my shock, this person once got very upset with me when I briefly colored my hair red, as if this person had some vital, personal interest in me being blonde. It was a very weird, dark energy and gave me the creeps. To make matters worse, a local conservative radio talk show host out West tells me he lost his job at one radio station because an awful female radio host this national talk show host is extremely close with and rumored to be seeing on the side wanted the slot. This national host told the station that if she didn’t get so-and-so’s show slot, “I’ll pull my show from your station.”
This person has been going on and on and on and on about John Edwards for weeks. He even talked about how you never cheat on your wife or go to a hotel room with someone who is not your wife. Well, duh. Too bad this person can’t tell it to his mirror.
So, while it’s a good thing that the mainstream media–again, kicking and screaming–is finally (though unwillingly), at least with John Edwards, applying the same scrutiny as they do with conservative politicians, I just wish the couple of hypocritical, philandering talk show hosts I know are cheating–or trying desperately to–would shut the heck up.
You don’t have to be a Christian to know what they say about glass houses.
Ok–I offer a free hamburger and fries to the first DS blogger who can de-code this for us. Any wise one(s) out there–help us–who are these losers?
