Limbo Sez HE Asked Marta for the Divorce

[UTUSN]

No link. In his opening today, he said that all he was going to say about the divorce was a "clarification that Marta asked for," which was that HE is who asked for the divorce. What a gentleman. Let's see, HE is a self-centered junkie and HE asked for the divorce. Well, alrighty then.

Red Rover, Red Rover, let -----MARTA-------come over. For sure there's a pre-nup, and an ironclad confidentiality agreement---------but betcha she would make A HELL OF A LOT MORE with a tell-all than with a settlement. Marta, can you HEAR me????

[lovedems]

1. Does that mean she will be able to testify against him if there is a trial

I know that normally spouses are protected but now that they are getting a divorce...can she testify that he engaged in doctor shopping?

[physioex]

5. Not a legal expert...

But that would up to the prosecutor, and what comes out in the divorce...Combined with her thoughts...Isn't that logical??

[The Backlash Cometh]

25. Oh, yes. It's up to her.

She couldn't be compelled to testify, but, I do believe she can do so with free choice.

[Justice]

2. I am not understanding

He said he was unwilling to remain married to Marta. He is walking away, just like Dole, Reagan, Newt, etc etc, walked away from their first wives.

How does that help him?

[Wickerman]

4. Republican family values

setting the example. :puke:

[wabeewoman]

12. My guess is that

it doesn't help him but his ego just couldn't admit she dumped him. Kinda like georgie not being able to admit to mistakes...

[Warpy]

23. Well, either that or he found a new "beard."

[physioex]

3. I hope she takes him for well over a half...

That and all the money he is going to spend on legal fees. And his drug addiction...The prenup is not guranteed. I think he has hit a trifecta...bwahahahah

[Sagan]

6. I bet she was mooching his Hillbilly Heroin....

He has to conserve his stockpile now that that dirty old liberal DA is watching him...

[physioex]

13. It doesn't matter what she does...

She isn't out preaching family values. And discriminating against gays..Let's go after the big fish....I have nothing against Marta....

[Walt Starr]

7. If there's a confidentiality agreement

he just violated it making it null and void.

[Timefortruth]

24. Really, that's perfect!

Assuming there was a prenup, would other parts still be valid? In other words, can she collect on the prenup and cash in on the dirt about Rush?

8. Wingnut Pot Calls Kettle "Blowhard"

MURDOCH's NY Post wingnut Page Six calls LIMBOsevic a "blowhard". Hmmm.

WIFE DUMPS BLOWHARD RUSH

RUSH Limbaugh put out a statement yesterday that he and his third wife, Marta, had separated — but only after PAGE SIX called to confirm what we'd learned exclusively. Sources in Palm Beach say Marta dumped the burly blowhard and vacated the couple's home on North Ocean Boulevard. The two are quietly working out a divorce agreement. Limbaugh met Marta on the Internet and they married in 1994. Since then, Marta has seen Limbaugh through ballooning weight gains, deafness (a cochlear implant in 2002 restored 80 percent of his hearing), his prescription pill addiction, rehab and a police investigation. Signs of trouble first came last year in November when one pal of Limbaugh said: "Marta didn't go visit him (at the in-patient treatment center) once until the very end. It was odd." Insiders say there is probably a pre-nup, but Marta may get more as she "knows where all of his skeletons are. That's why there are these . . . discussions." Let this be a warning to other journalists: If you have a scoop, don't call Limbaugh's rep, Tony Knight of Sitrick & Co. Knight, who after confirming our story, added: "We will put out a release."

10. I hope she's safe

she should spill the beans to a writer ASAP. put the transcripts under lock and key. That would be her best security.

[rfranklin]

17. Where on the internet did El Fatbo meet her?

We do know that, according to his statements recently, he likes to visit gay and sado-masochistic sites. Perhaps she is a dominatrix?

[Hunter_1253]

9. Maybe Rush is...

a bigger asshole now that he's off the dope, and she just couldn't take it anymore.

[displacedtexan]

11. Interesting. Most prenups have a "10 year" clause.

If the marriage lasts 10 years, the one without the $ (the reason for the prenup) usually gets a much bigger chunk-o-change in a divorce settlement. And... if he actually wanted the divorce (even though we've been hearing that she had moved out of the big house long ago), she'd get even more $.

I don't believe a word Rushbo says. To men like Rushbo, divorce is the way they pay for sex.

[physioex]

14. Ewwwwww...that's a horrible thought

El Drugbo and sex. Not sure he has a voracious sex appetite. He is more interested in drugs and bashing liberals. She is just there to create an image of family values...

[Hunter_1253]

16. I bet he would blame Clinton…

if the drugs inhibited his ability to get it up. Somehow even his own impotence had to be the liberal’s fault.

[physioex]

19. I am sure gay marriage could be used as one of these...

Reasons on his grounds for divorce...

[denverbill]

15. What about the 'sanctity of marriage'? Divorce should be illegal.

It cheapens marriage if anyone can just run out and get a no-fault divorce. If Reagan hadn't signed the nation's first no-fault divorce law, maybe 1/2 of all marriages wouldn't be ending in divorce today.

[Cleita]

20. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Sometimes people make mistakes

and they shouldn't be forced to endure a lifetime of Hell because of a no divorce statute on the books. What happens usually, in no divorce countries, is that bigamous relationships become more numerous. As couples break up and seek another, they often don't tell a new amor that they are already married. I know. It happened in my family.

We have it backwards. We make marriage easy and divorce hard. It should be the other way around with marriage requiring a reasonably long engagement with marriage classes and conseling leading up to the nuptials. Divorce should be easy and relatively pain free on the other hand.

[ejcastellanos]

18. Chalk one up to that darn gay marriage thing - EOM

[tom_paine]

21. That's a lie.

LIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

[alvis]

22. Sounds like George Costanza

George: "I have hand!"
George's ex: "Good, because you're gonna need it"

[Delano]

26. Don't bother.

If she would marry a pig like Limbaugh, she's an immoral slug. Why would she blow any whistles now.

[Bake]

27. Spousal privilege

That they are splitsville now doesn't matter -- she can't testify as to anything he told her during the marriage. The privilege is Limpball's -- no one can waive it except HIM (i.e., the one against whom the privileged testimony would be offered).

Note that the privilege applies only to spousal commmunications. If she was an eye-witness to something, she **might** be able to testify over Limpball's objection. But the water startes getting murky there, and many judges would just disallow the testimony. Where it clears up, of course, is if she actually DID anything illegal, e.g., procuring Oxy from several doctors for her hubby.

That's the general rule on spousal privilege -- individual states may differ.

28. Putting on my Tinfoil Hat

Rusty is able to convince the greek chorus that listens to him that when Marta testifies against him...

...its because she's bitter he asked for a divorce.

Also a prepratory jury argument.

She is a scorned woman his lawyers will argue.

30. She'll never testify

Not because of any confidentiality agreement in the divorce, but because of the spousal privilege. And she stands to gain nothing from testifying.

Now, as for writing a book -- "Limpballs and Me" -- that's another matter.

29. I though when you rehab...

they suggest you don't make any major changes in your life for at least a year? :shrug:

[Arbustosux]

31. a wife needs tenderness and love

not a snoring blob laying next to her every night unaware of anything thanks to a fistfull of oxycontins!!

The clarification reminds me of junior high....I broke up with her!!

[Mountainman]

32. Maybe she will write a book and burn his ass. n/t

[kskiska]

33. Poor Rush is a VICTIM.

He wants sympathy from his dittoheads. All weekend they were already speculating that Rush's wife may have done him wrong. I wonder if the previous two wives also treated him badly.
