Tracie McMillian, victim # 2, Rush needs to go NOW.


Snip< "What he was saying about me was completely unconscionable and sexist," said McMillan, 35, a Holly native, of Limbaugh calling her an "authorette" and overeducated" while discussing her new book "The American Way of Eating."



Snip < During his comments on-air, Limbaugh stated, "What is it with all of these young single white women, overeducated -- doesn't mean intelligent," according to show transcript.

I hate to see her lose sales due to false negative reviews. Of course, if she gets MORE, so much the better...

Bingo. Rush's problem isn't with her as a young, white, single, over-educated female. It's protecting HIS status quo, the Republican donors...Walmart...Applebees...

Again, been seeing the term and it's time to Get Out the Slut Vote!

6. Don't fall for this. Limpballs is trying to get the public to move on from the Fluke slander.

Doesn't it strike you as odd that he'd go to a second woman and sling insults, but without actuallly calling her slanderous names? Coming on the heels of being in deep sh_t from slanderous insults to a private citizen woman?

He knows what he's doing. He wants the public to latch onto this new one, where the person has written a book & is therefore more of a public citizen, and where his insults are more of the standard variety of what he does. Then when liberals get all over him for this, he can say, "See how crazy they are? Now they're coming after me for talking about a book and its author without even any name calling! They're loony!" And so the Fluke slander will die down.

Don't fall for it.
