Screw you, Limbaugh! How dare you ask such a question about Hillary Clinton?

Rush Limbaugh, the ever-so-vile ultraconservative prick, poked fun yesterday at Hillary Clinton's looks, saying America isn't ready for an aging woman as president, basing his spew on a AP photo of Hillary while in New Hampshire campaigning.


Limbaugh: "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?"

Excuse me? Why not? Because she has wrinkles? When did the leadership of this country become tied with whether or not a candidate has crow's feet? Although he poses this question as one of the country's, he does so to veil his innate sexism. Plus she's a democrat and a woman, thus his arch enemy--twofold.

In all fairness, he does say : " I want you to understand that I am talking about the evolution of American culture here, and not so much Mrs. Clinton. It could be anybody, and it is really not very complicated. "


Right. Are we supposed to believe that? Of course not, because he makes a drastic constrast between men and women, adding that men who age look "more authoritative, accomplished and distinguished."

Well, Hillary is currently leading the pack in the Democratic polls, has distinguished herself as a candidate and has accomplished a lot--not just for herself but for American women. Even though I don't agree with some of her politics and am not going to vote for her in the primaries, I recognize that! And her facial features don't need to support that.

His statement, as always, is incredibly sexist, ageist and downright stupid.
Maybe if Hillary was 30-years-old or got a little work done, then she could be president....yeah fucking right. What kind of message does this send to young girls, older women and the entire world on how stupid, superficial and misguided our country is?

I am surprised the blog, Feministing hasn't caught onto this but, god! Rush Limbaugh is a bastard.
