Limbaugh: "Does Our Looks-Obsessed Culture Want to Stare At An Aging Woman?"

Today, the Drudge Report featured a not-so-flattering picture of Hillary Clinton with the screaming headline "THE TOLL OF A CAMPAIGN." Clinton, who turned 60 in October, has been traveling around Iowa and this morning hit up all six morning shows as part of a media blitz now that her campaign there has entered panic mode.

On his radio show today, Rush Limbaugh asked, "Does our looks obsessed culture want to stare at an aging woman?" In his own words:

There is this thing in this country that, as you age -- and this is particularly, you know, women are hardest hit on this, and particularly in Hollywood -- America loses interest in you, and we know this is true because we constantly hear from aging actresses, who lament that they can't get decent roles anymore, other than in supporting roles that will not lead to any direct impact, yay or nay, in the box office. While Hollywood box-office receipts may be stagnant, none of that changes the fact that this is a country obsessed with appearance. It's a country obsessed with looks. The number of people in public life who appear on television or on the big screen, who are content to be who they are, you can probably count on one hand. Everybody's trying to make themselves look different -- and in that situation, in that case, they think they're making themselves look better. It's just the way our culture has evolved. It's the way the country is. It's like almost an addiction that some people have to what I call the perfection that Hollywood presents of successful, beautiful, fun-loving people. So the question is this: Will this country want to actually watch a woman get older before their eyes on a daily basis?

I remember when Hush Bimbo (to steal one from Michael Savage) used to tell the story of all the daily newspapers that he would read preparing for his show, carefully crafting the illusion that he was well informed. Now the grand benefactor of sex tourism just visits the Drudge Report for his show's content. Rush couldn't get any woman without paying for her services. He is just another Repug mouthpiece who doesn't respect women, who ends up surrounded by those women beneath his contempt. Keep sucking on that brown phallic cigar Rush.

I'm an Obama supporter, but that's not fair at all. There's a lot of reasons to criticize Hillary CLinton, I think, but this is completely over the line

[wedgie]

Rush is happy.

That's the painful part.

To say that this is an image obsessed society is pointing out the truth. Glamor is a weapon used to manipulate the masses through stupefaction. Corporations use stupefaction to cause people to act in certain ways, usually in a way that ends with the consumer parting with their money.

In truth there is nothing wrong with the image of an aging woman. Even if Limbaugh needs a specific image to make him want to play with himself I think it would be wise not to define the role of a good female candidate around whether or not she will excite the penis of Rush Limbaugh.

Perhaps this is why the Republicans are having such a difficult time choosing a candidate.

Thank you, Rush! (Never expected to write those words.)

But thanks for giving Hillary the VOTES OF AMERICAN

WOMEN.

[rucognizant]

GEE, IS RUSH SETTING THE STAGE FOR A LATE CANDIDATE ENTRY?
Brittany Spears or Paris Hilton maybe?

[twitch1956]

Tell me again why Rush wasn't prosecuted for his drug prescription debacle? Why hasn't anyone been outraged by his Dominican prostitution vacation or his multiple marriages (hmmmm family values?)..­.

I don't understand his appeal to his listeners. Aren't they hypocrites?

[turningpoint]

It would be a hell of a lot easier than having been forced to watch the missing link devolve for the last seven years and counting.

It would also beat the fuck out of having to see Rush's lard-ass out in public.

How's it feel to have a woman reach a place in society you could never dream of fatboy? You've reached the equivalent of a huge pile of dog shit surrounded by deranged flies.

all limbaugh's mindless lemmings will agree

their own.

Why do you suppose you're on the radio Limpy McFatass?

You don't even piss people off anymore, you're just a joke. Give up.

Remember feminism? That goofy notion that women are people?

[Tator]

Hey Liberals. I see RUSH has worked you into a lather AGAIN. For someone you describe so poorly, you intellectual elites sure do let him get to you. Shouldn't your superior minds insulate you from his ideas?

Better yet with you superior IQs you can easily challenge him in the area of ideas and put up your own Liberal radio talk show who can easily run him off the air with your superior thinking..­...

O wait you tried that AND FAILED MISERABLY. I remember when you Liberals were talking about kicking RUSH butt with your Welfare Radio, but with all your superior intellect you could not muster a rival that could beat him much less stay on the air in Liberal markets. Welfare Radio is on how many stations now?

So you nash you teeth and flap around on the bank like a fish out of water, but the fact remains. RUSH has and will continue to expose you Liberals for what you are and yes it will drive you crazy for showing America what you represent.

GO RUSH> HAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHa

I do not like her bigotry she is spreading, but this is wrong. We should not be look at people looks. Now, the issues are fare game.

[Stella1]

Hmmm,Rush the biggest old fart on Radio has room to put down a woman because of her age?
