Think Progress reports that Rush Limbaugh is to be one of 10 judges for the Miss America Pageant in 2010.
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.
As TP notes...Rush is not noted for being an environmentalist by any stretch of the imagination which makes this a truly ironic appointment from that viewpoint: the very antithesis of Green.
But it is as a woman that I am most appalled. Why on earth would they want a noted misogynist to judge women? A thrice married, thrice divorced misogynist? The hate (or is it fear?)of women that oozes out of Limbaugh can be felt each time he utters his infamous word: "feminazis".
Some Limbaugh quotes and links follow to substantiate his misogyny (just in case you had doubts):
Quote:"Feminism was established to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream."
