Think Progress
Since March, advertisers have been abandoning Rush Limbaugh in droves following a series of sexist attacks on Georgetown Law Student Sandra Fluke.
Today, Limbaugh turned his attention to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Limabugh said that Clinton “has reached a pinnacle and all she is is a secretary,” adding that the left has “the strangest definition of success.”
Limbaugh then said he was being prodded to talk about Clinton’s need to wear “Spanx,” but suggested she had a greater need for “Spankles.” Spanx are undergarments designed to reduce the visibility of body fat.

Limbaugh belittles women.
That’s his schtick.
I keep asking friends of mine over and over how they can put up with the guy.
One of them, the father of four little girls, I asked outright — “Would you let your daughter date a guy who said that the only reason to watch women’s sports is to ogle women? Would you let her date a guy who called news reporters ‘info babes’?”
He said he’d have to think about that, but he wouldn’t let them date a 50+ year old married man, either.
I think he kind of missed the point.
Remember when Republicans used to use that “Character counts” slogan? If they’d meant it, I might still be a Republican.
Yep, WK, your friend missed the point, TOTALLY!
I can’t tell you how many miss-the-point conversations I have with people.
I feel like the modern GOP is what would happen if Kafka and Orwell had a child together.
