Limbaugh – ‘When WOMEN Got The Right To Vote Is When It All Went Downhill’

Insert both feet,Rush.

Recently on his radio show, Limbaugh took a call from a man who wanted to blame Obama’s 2008 election on uninformed youth. Limbaugh interrupted him and said……drumroll…..

“Ehhh, I can do one better than that. When WOMEN got the right to vote is when it all went downhill. Because that’s when votes started being cast with emotion and uh, maternal instincts that government ought to reflect …….”

All of a sudden, Rush stops talking mid-sentence as if he’s realized what a horrible mistake he’s just made. His caller took advantage of the silence and continued talking about how young people are the ones ruining elections. Limbaugh interrupts his caller, who he was clearly not listening to, as he tries to figure out how to extract his foot from his BIG MOUTH and said:

“Yeah…I…Look, I’m joking about the women’s vote. I just got a little frustrated here…”

He told me that women vote for the best looking guy, they don't think about politics. So that was why Bill Clinton got elected.....



I woke up one morning realizing that I was "Mrs. Asshole".

Things have been going downhill since he started bloviating on the radio. Coincidence? I don't think so.

"To promote a woman to bear rule, superiority, dominion or empire, above any realm, nation, or city, is repugnant to nature; contumely to God, a thing most contrarious to his revealed will and approved ordinance, and finally it is the subversion of good order, of all equity and justice." John Knox, Scottish Presbyterian leader. First Blast of the Trumpet Against the Monstrous Regiment of Women-pamphlet published 1558, the first year of Elizabeth I’s reign.

Ann Coulter on Bill Maher's "Politically Correct" said women should be allowed to have guns but not vote.

Other right-wingers have openly advocated for repealing women's right to vote.

Such fun to watch this jelly belly implode - and I do believe it is coming. His schtick is as old and tired as his audience.
