"Limbaugh will be one of a panel of seven distinguished judges that will help decide which of the 53 contestants will capture the Miss America 2010 title and serve as the Goodwill Ambassador for the Children’s Miracle Network, as well as introduce the first Go Green platform for MAO." [...]
“We are thrilled to have Rush join us for our pageant this year,” said MAO President and CEO, Art McMaster. “He will bring a thrilling new dimension to the competition and we know that the 2010 Miss America Pageant will be filled with new twists and exciting opportunities with him as one of our national judges.”
It’s odd that Limbaugh will take part in choosing someone who will ultimately help the MAO “Go Green,” considering that he is a staunch anti-environmentalist. But the MAO’s choice is most shocking because of his fairly solid history of making sexist remarks. He has once said that women love Hillary Clinton because they’ve “had two or three abortions,” that women “live longer than men because their lives are easier,” and that all women want is to be hired as “eye candy.” Limbaugh also regularly rails against feminism, the “feminization of this culture,” “feminazis,” and the “chickification” of America. Unsurprisingly, women don’t like Rush Limbaugh. One wonders what MAO President Art McCaster is so “thrilled” about.

What is happening to our national ethics. First Obama has won a nobel prize for peace and our kids are still being returned in fllag draped coffins. Peace?? Now this tub of hate is to select a lady to represent America?What does fatso know about the dignity of a young girl to represent this nation. This too will be a farce. I am sure he picked his first wife as a clean cut representative of womanhood but one of them dumped the other and what about his second wife was she a feminine idol?? Perhaps the Miss America Pageant should run a check of Rush's ladies to see if he is fit for this job. I wonder how he was selected to this position did he buy into the Miss America like he did the Rams?? He has made a fortune spreading hate, what does he plan for young ladies who are to represent the purity and chastity of the Young Misses?
