Rush Limbaugh, yesterday, said that America isn't ready to watch Hillary age before our eyes on a daily basis. What do you think of that comment? Is that just a back door attack on her, or is it a grossly sexist comment? Or both? He says we don't want to see aging women.

jonmcn: I don't really care what he says. But MSNBC just spent a lot of time talking about it so I thought it was just as good a question as any of the other inane things that come up this forum.

It's definitely sexist. If we can watch McCain age (and he's quite a bit older than she is), we can watch Hillary age, too. Only a few select idiots would refuse to vote for Hillary on those grounds.
EDIT TO ABOVE: Check out Media Matters' page on him. It'll only prove your first assessment.

on the grounds that Ferraro does not artwork for Clinton, she will't be bumped off. sure, Clinton will would desire to bend over backward (returned and returned and over) to declare how she does not believe what Ferraro pronounced no count number how lots she disagrees along with her. enable's settle for it, what Ferraro pronounced is possibly genuine. Many liberal Euroamericans, having been crushed over the pinnacle with racial guilt their entire lives, are thrilled to be waiting to vote for a black (and sidestep vote casting for a woman) and experience some alleviation from this nagging guilt. sure, Barack is an smart, considerate, nicely-spoken guy or woman who would easily be a great suitable courtroom justice, yet he's not extra advantageous, and not as good a candidate as Clinton, Richardson or Edwards. he's the political equivalent of a rock celeb and this could be a movie star-mad united states, so he's getting votes. human beings "like" him. nicely, Republicans "cherished" George Bush and seem the place we are actually. be careful what you desire for....

Jbjbgjj V, if you truly were a veteran, you wouldn't be making such a comment. What exactly did this man, who never spent a day in the military because he managed to get himself classified as a 1-Y, "contribute" to the veterans besides making his newsletter available to them? Also, how did he "take care of their families"? This man has made it clear again and again that he can't stand women or children so why would he even care about taking care of them? This is a man who, according to his mother, never had any girlfriends in school, was married three times in apparently unconsumated marriages, and doesn't have any children. Interestingly enough, he's kind of the black sheep of his family. All of his male relatives are lawyers yet he never became one himself. He dropped out of college after two semesters.

Well, Rush is right. America does not value wrinkles and penis envy. She has both. Regarding McCain - society doesn't want to see him either. He is wrinkly.
All hail el-Rushbo!
Get your heads out of the liberal toilet! Think with common, traditional sense. Hillary, and all feminists, should not even be allowed to work outside of the house, let alone run for a public office. Think about how terrible America must look to other countries with women interfering with everything.

Does the man have a mirror? Has he seen his own rear view? If you follow his premise, Brad Pitt or Paul Walker should be President, or for him, Lindsay Lohan.

That's the thing about Rush... most of the time you need to have a sense of humor to actually listen and appreciate the things he says. Most of the comments on here are from folks who are just waiting to be offended by him. That's what makes him so popular and fun to listen to. He's so good at getting the libs flustered and bent out of shape.

i think it was totally stupid.and sexist. who gives a damn how old the president looks. actually i'd rather have an older looking president than a younger looking president, because age usually means more wisdom and experience. and what's the difference between having an older looking woman and an older looking man?
of course, even though i lean to the left, i don't like Hilary. Bill was cool, but Hilary has no stance on anything. she's such a hypocrite.

That must be why he's a radio personality, so we dont have to watch him age.
you knowi generally ignore the opinion of someone as grossly hypocritical as Rush.

She does look really old in that photo. Rush can be harsh but so can Democrats. I remember Robin Williams joking about Barbara Bush and how her picture was on the dollar bill. Pretty cruel,huh?
