Rush Limbaugh Now Has Four "Traditional Marriages" Under His Belt

And I won't even mention what's above his belt (hah!).  So Rush Limbaugh is now the proud husband of wife number four.  And she's just a little more than half his age!  Good goin' el Rushbo!  I'm amazed you snagged more than one, but I'm not at all surprised that Mrs. Limbaughs numbers 1 - 3 got unhitched from your considerable wagon.

Somehow, three divorces don't seem to bother either Rush or his fans.  But Rush would probably take issue to my one same-sex marriage. I know his fans would.  Oh well, there has never been a history of consistency among that crowd anyway. Good luck to the Limbaughs though. The evidence shows, they're gonna need it.

Congrats to Rush Limbaugh on his fourth traditional marriage

. . .So as Newt Gingrich does while standing next to his third wife (who, as was true for Gingrich's second wife, was previously known as his "adulterous mistress"), Rush Limbaugh will now crusade for Traditional Marriage with his fourth wife (and counting) at his side. As is so often the case, the Traditional Marriage movement is led by people who discard their wives and get new, younger replacements the way most people change underwear. That's how so many Americans sit on their sofas next to their second and third spouses, with their step-children and half-siblings surrounding them, and explain -- without any recognition of the irony -- that they're against same-sex marriage because they believe the law should only recognize Traditional Marriages. . .

Dan Savage Explains The Real History Of "Traditional Marriage"

I don't usually do more than one same-sex marriage post in the same evening, but I found this video at Joe.My.God., and it was too good not to share. Dan Savage is a writer and sex advice columnist, and had been getting involved in political punditry more and more of late. He has a no-bullshit style (one curse word worse than THAT one, so be warned if at work), and a succinctness that I hope to one day achieve.

The topic of this video is "traditional marriage," and what that really means.

What "Traditional Marriage" Really Means

Did you sort of agree with California's Proposition 8? Did you think, "Hey, I don't hate gay people, I just belive in traditional marriage like it says in the Bible!"? Well then, put your money where your mouth is, because if you believe that, you've also got to believe this:

[Excerpt]

Traditional marriage, Bible-style

A. Marriage in the United States shall consist of a union between one man and one or more women. (Gen 29:17-28; II Sam 3:2-5)

B. Marriage shall not impede a man's right to take concubines in addition to his wife or wives. (II Sam 5:13; I Kings 11:3; II Chron 11:21)

C. A marriage shall be considered valid only if the wife is a virgin. If the wife is not a virgin, she shall be executed. (Deut 22:13-21)

D. Marriage of a believer and a non-believer shall be forbidden. (Gen 24:3; Num 25:1-9; Ezra 9:12; Neh 10:30)

E. Since marriage is for life, neither this Constitution nor the constitution of any State, nor any state or federal law, shall be construed to permit divorce. (Deut 22:19; Mark 10:9)

F. If a married man dies without children, his brother shall marry the widow. If he refuses to marry his brother's widow or deliberately does not give her children, he shall pay a fine of one shoe and be otherwise punished in a manner to be determined by law. (Gen 38:6-10; Deut 25:5-10)

G. In lieu of marriage, if there are no acceptable men in your town, it is required that you get your dad drunk and have sex with him (even if he had previously offered you up as a sex toy to men young and old), tag-teaming with any sisters you may have. Of course, this rule applies only if you are female. (Gen 19:31-36)
