One expects Rush Limbaugh to say outrageous, odious things, but he has surpassed even his own, ordinarily bomastic self with this one:

Media Matters:

quote:
On his radio program, Rush Limbaugh asked the women in his audience: "How many of you in the secrecy and privacy of your own dreams and hopes would love to be hired as eye candy?"
...
Later in the broadcast, Limbaugh returned to the subject when he said:
LIMBAUGH: I'm not talking -- I know how many of you want to be sexually harassed -- that's not what I was asking. But, I mean, I -- if, if, if somebody wants to hire you to look good for whoever is the first to walk in the door every day, why not, if that's your asset?
Media Matters has previously noted that on the April 26, 2004, edition of his radio program, Limbaugh stated that women "actually wish" for sexual harassment

Yikes.

Rumour has it Rush Limbaugh will be the United State's next Ambassador to Canada, if Harper wins.

More than likely, if Harper wins, the next US Ambassador to Canada would be someone we approve of. The last couple of Pro Counsuls were chosen to spread the Bush message, which won't be necessary with Harper.
