There He Is: Miss America Judge Rush Limbaugh

Glenn Beck needs something really great to upstage this

By M. Morris| Posted Oct 9, 09 5:06 PM CDT|

(Newser) – The perennially publicity-hungry Miss America Pageant will shake up the judges' panel for the January event by adding a lightning rod: Rush Limbaugh. The right-wing titan isn't the first political blowhard to serve as a judge—MSNBC's Chris Matthews did a stint in 2007—but the pageant "has never been so overtly Republican as to invite one of the party’s largest mouthpieces to serve as a judge," writes John Katsilometes of the Las Vegas Sun. Circle Jan. 30 on your calendar now.

Ok, my immediate reaction was "Gross! A fat perv pig staring at scantily clad young women strutting their goods in front of him as he sweats and jiggles ..." I'm sorry, but the mental image is absolutely disgusting. How low will Miss America go?

Perfect venue for Limbaugh.------ Miss South Carolina 2007: "I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so, because, uh, some people out there in our nation don't have maps, and, uh I believe that our education like such as South Africa and, uh, the Iraq everywhere like, such as and, I believe that they should, our education over here in the US should help the US, er, should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future for our children."

Hay Russ are you still holding your ankles? Now if you are , and I know you are, swing that big fat ass around so you can see it in a mirror. Now take a good long look, do you see it? That is what the whole world sees when they hear you ranting, think of you or when Kieth O has you bouncing up and down like a clown on a spring in the corner of the screen.

Seriously, have you listened to these women? They are not the brightest and, since they strut their stuff in front of cameras for money and prizes, they've already established the fact that they are willing to sell it. They probably wouldn't hesitate to sell it to Rush.

Hey, I'm sure Rush is a fantastic lover. Not the kind of guy that looses his cookies in under 30 seconds and falls asleep snoring for the next 36 hours. Not Rush. The man is oozing with machismo.
