Why is Rush’s wife’s name still Marta Fitzgerald?

[spotbird]

A man who knows a woman’s place as well as Rush should be able to put a woman in her place, right? But here he is married to a woman who is clearly embarrassed by the identity of her famous husband. She was an aerobics instructor when they married, so her choice to keep her name was unlikely career related. Huh, the irony is that the name she kept is held by the most beloved President in American history (but among the most despised by her husband).

Does anyone think Rush married a Feminazi? Maybe her contempt for him made him realize that he really is a loser, hence the need for massive illegal drugs.

1. She married him for the money

no doubt

[Dookus]

2. nonsense...

Plenty of women keep their own names upon marrying - it says absolutely nothing about their commitment to the marriage. I know poor women, rich women, and everybody in between who kept their names upon marrying. It's pretty common these days, ya know.

3. In normal marriages it is very normal.

But this is Rush, the man who believes women who want equal rights are Nazis. Don’t you think that the wife of Rush shouldn’t be ashamed of her husband’s name? Women serve men, they take their man’s name, life is that simple to a conservative.

9. It's a very liberal gesture "YOU KNOW"

[Silverhair]

4. Who cares? n/t

[hlthe2b]

5. Why don't ya call in and ask him?

:evilgrin:

[spotbird]

7. Ya think he'd tell me?

If I got through that wouldn't be my first question.

6. She doesn't want to be bypassd on reservation lists

A name like Limbaugh carries a stench of piggishness.

8. Plausible deniability

[eyeontheprize]

10. Maybe if you marry a childless, gay, drug addicted,

two-time looser you also want to save yourself the trouble of changing your name back when the marriage goes to shit.

[West Coast Democrat]

11. BINGO!

that's it!

[Changenow]

16. Wait, isn’t it childless, gay, drug addicted, two-time loser who you

met on the internet....?

[caledesi]

25. Like ALL his wives, she is a "beard." eom

.... Subject: I met Rush!

Found your website last week and have been hooked! It's more compelling than porn!

(ha ha - BC)

Thought you would like to hear about my true encounter with Rush.

My wife was hired to be managing editor for Marta Fitzgerald Limbaugh's new magazine Vent (it lasted four issues). It was a great opportunity and ostensibly free from overt politics (really!).

Anyway, Marta hosted a party for her staff on July 4th at the Limbaugh family compound on Palm Beach, FL, and I met the man himself. He was actually quite pleasant and we even agreed
on one point during our brief conversation (We both thought that the wild fires raging in Florida were due to lack of prescribed burns and he went on about his infamous statistics that there are
more trees now in America then when the Pilgrims first landed. True, but the trees are much denser--due to lack of prescribed burns--and there is much less cord feet and the trees are on average much younger.)

Anyway, he was offering cigars and I noticed a few Cubans in the humidor. Being one of the unwashed masses, I couldn't pass it up. The cigar wasn't that great and kept going out but the point is, I smoked a Cuban cigar on the Fourth of July at the estate of the ultimate right winger! I wonder what Jesse Helms would have thought of that.

(ha ha - BC)

Would like to share you more, but the really juicy stories came from my wife who signed this non-disclosure agreement. I didn't, so I can share my first hand account and am glad to pass along this hypocrisy to those who can use it. BTW, did you know that Rush often broadcasts from his studio in West Palm Beach?

(Damn, I wish Mrs. BartCop could get a job working for El Pigbo.
Thanks for the note, send more if you can. - BC)

17. It is interesting that she used his name for a while in an attempt

to cash in on it. That must really sing for the old Rushbo, she likes his name when it can do her some good, but not for any other reason.

[Timefortruth]

20. That was a mistake, she never uses his name, at least not

anymore. Who could blame her?

[myomy]

13. Maybe sheÕs an undercover DEA agent.

19. Turning him in may have been the only way to shake him

without violating the prenup.

[smirkymonkey]

14. Obviously, she's embarrased by

him - wants no association whatsoever.

[OneTwentyoNine]

15. Maybe thats still her on-line AOL name......

Hell,isn't that where Rush met this version of his wife? I'm sure will all that money he'd like the story to be very romantic but I'm pretty sure it was an on-line adventure.

Gosh Rush,how utterly common.....

18. Maybe she just doesn't wanna claim him...

Would you?

:shrug:

[in_cog_ni_to]

21. I wouldn't want anyone

to know that I was married to that pill poppin', RW hate spewer (may be a new word? :) either!

[UTUSN]

22. He Just Used a Line About His "First Wife"

He introduced a clip of Senator CLINTON in raised voice for live audience with, "Doesn't this remind you of YOUR FIRST WIFE?"

Where is that first wife now, she could CLEAN UP with a book.

[Fleshdancer]

23. Someone married Rush Limbaugh?

gross.

[tigereye]

24. that's what I said too!
