Rush Limbaugh Laments That "You're Never Gonna Be Able To, Figuratively, Hit The Girl"

RUSH LIMBAUGH: So the Republicans will praise [Hillary Clinton] for her cervix-- Democrats will praise her for her cervix, and Republicans will ask innocuous questions in order to not be blamed for beating up on her. See, that's the main reason Republicans don't do anything. It's because they don't want the Democrats and the media accusing them of hitting the girl. I don't care how much feminism advances, not a thing is going to change in that regard. You're never gonna be able to, figuratively, hit the girl. In other words, the girl is never going to be able to be treated just like a guy. You can hit the guy. You can hit the guy. You can say, "you know, that guy hasn't paid his taxes in ten years. And that guy, when he was president of the company, and an employee's wife died, that guy didn't care. That guy, he put his dog on the roof of the family station wagon for a vaca--." Can't say that about Hillary. Can't say that about the girl. The Republicans, even if we had advanced to this mythical place of total equality, the Republicans still wouldn't go after Hillary for fear-- out of fear of what the Democrats on the committee will say about them and what the media will say. They'll be afraid of igniting the war on women meme. They will be afraid of angering the independents.

What about Benghazi? What about the scrutiny she was under while her husband was POTUS?

If you want to look at a woman who has avoided scrutiny, try Carly Fiorina. She about destroyed a company. Yet, she's regarded as some kind of a business whiz in the alternative universe of conservative Republicans.
