I just caught something at the Baltimore Sun. It is kind of a rehash of Rush Limbaugh by two of the reporters from Mediamatters.com. But it is short and hilarious.
The point of the article is that Rush is going to judge the 2010 Miss America Pageant. After my diatribe against the late Grace Kelly, I just cannot pass up a chance to discuss the intersection of pageant fluff, women's rights and rush.Some months ago I was laughing because rush was crying on the radio, whining on the radio, and complaining on the radio that women do not seem to like him. Hahahaa
Here is part of the article;
This is the man who famously declared that his cat has "taught" him "more about women than anything my whole life" because his cat is "smart enough to know she can't feed herself" and gets "loved," "adoration," "petted," and "fed," without having "to do anything for it." He has speculated that women "would love to be hired as eye candy" and has claimed that "[w]omen still live longer than men because their lives are easier."
On Pelosi he says: "Why, she can multitask. She can breastfeed, she can clip her toenails, she can direct the House."
Mr. Limbaugh frequently laments the "chickification" of society, particularly in government and the media. In his world, female media figures (some of whom are former Miss America Pageant winners) are "infobabes" or "anchorettes"; female professors are "professorettes"; the cable network MSNBC is dubbed "PMS- NBC," and female Cabinet secretaries find their title changed to "Sexretary."
He has shared with listeners his "pet name" for the National Organization for Women (NOW): "National Association of Gals" (his acronym: "NAG")....Based on this abysmal record, it's hard to imagine what Miss America Pageant officials were thinking when they selected Mr. Limbaugh as a judge. © 2009, The Baltimore Sun http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/opinion/oped/bal-op.limbaugh30oct30,0,3655374.story
I find it hilarious because I think the two deserve each other. When I was a kid and heard that idiot singing:
There she goes, Miss America.....It was time to go outside and skate, or ride my bike or go over to Dave's house and have a smoke. Those vacuous teenage girls spouting their hope for world peace....
And its not any better today. That fascist winner last year (ex winner I guess) with the boob job whom Trump finally fired, is regularly seen giving speeches at RNC functions.
What about a national Ms. Chemistry Pageant? Or a Ms. Pre-Med Pageant? Or a Ms. Applied Mathematics Pageant?
No friggin bathing suits allowed; unless there is a swimming competition of course.
Push rush up on the podium, that is what I say!!! The repubs are in charge of vacuous contests for vacuous broads anyway.
THEY DESERVE EACH OTHER.
