Ew. Ew ew ew ew. :puke:

As if this 'pageant' wasn't absurd to the point of embarrassment already... the thought of this slobbering bag of goo leering in judgment over these young women is just too sickening to bear. :puke:

[truthisfreedom]

1. They have young boys in that pageant now?

I hadn't heard.

[bermudat]

9. My thoughts exactly.

Perhaps he is looking for his next wife. Sounds about right, a trophy wife who

looks good on his arm and doesn't question his 'trips' to Dominican Republic or

Bangcock (spelling intentional) as long as she's been given the American Express

black card.

2. Any contestant with an ounce of self-respect would walk right off the stage

after they introduce that particular judge to the audience. Dare I hope??

[subcomhd]

17. any contestant with an ounce of self-respect wouldn't be a contestant

These pageants are events in which even I can spot a patriarchal, misogynistic, objectification of women (ironically, it's the 'pageant moms' who push them into it at an early age.) but yes, RL makes it even more disgusting.

[Sukie]

3. Yeah, I'm thinking a boycott of the Miss America

pageant is in order. What better way to make the point that limbo is someone who shouldn't be hosting anything, to include his own show? But my feeling on this is that mostly conservatives watch the pageants anymore, anyway. I haven't watched them in years.

[LisaM]

4. This is so, so gross

However, I would not be surprised if in the long run, he doesn't end up judging it.

This is clearly a ploy for ratings. Hardly anyone watches anymore If they get someone this controversial to judge it, raise a huge media stink, and then he either withdraws or they can him, their ratings will go up. I smell set up.

[MissMarple]

5. That's disgusting,..nauseating...and yes, that throw up thing.

Perhaps this will be reconsidered. Perhaps.

I wonder who their advertisers are.

[thunder rising]

6. Who supplies the drool cup? Or are they developing a tie that doubles as a Depends for the Chin

[Baltoman991]

7. How in the

name of all that is good do they allow a man to judge anything where there will be African-American contestants?

Everyone knows Limballs views of African-Americans. This is pure bullshit and those who organize this Pageant need to re-think this bullshit.

[LynneSin]

8. This is so not classy

Seriously!

[nolabear]

10. EEEEEeeeeewwww. Two words, though. Anita Bryant.

[flakey_foont]

11. how come when the Dixie Chicks said something

about negative about Bush, they get bashed big time,, Country stations stopped playing their songs..........yet when Limbaugh, on a daily basis, spews hatred towards Obama, ..he now gets to judge Miss America?

WTF????????????????????????????????????

Is there no justice in this world?

[classof56]

28. Isn't it the country music channel that carries Mz A these days?

Suddenly it all becomes clear to me...

[CanonRay]

12. That sexist pig?

Surely you're joking. Well, another reason not to watch it.

[Grassy Knoll]

13. He will undoubtedly hope that the prettiest black woman....

would FAIL.
I think this is propaganda ,he is loosing listeners daily !

[PatSeg]

14. Oooh, that's creepy!

[RDillon]

15. Without

The Viagara judging is all he can do anyway. Like others have pointed out, he would seem more at home judging little boys.

[IllinoisBirdWatcher]

16. Maybe he can sing Bert Parks' song while DuLay dances

Would be a real crowd-pleaser for the fans.

[classof56]

27. Oh, the image you just called up in my twisted mind!

And why can't I stop laughing?


:rofl:

[tinrobot]

18. With him as judge, I guess only a white woman can win next year. n/t

[grace0418]

19. So will all the contestants be chained to him wearing gold bikinis? Then the losers will

get dropped down a trap door to their death?

[bjobotts]

20. What...was Sarah Palin too busy or envious. Nasty limbaugh wants to be a Scout master

[MaineDem]

21. BFD

Pageants have long become irrelevant. Totally sexist and demeaning.

[creeksneakers2]

31. It will be even worse when he calls them

contestant-babes.

[immoderate]

22. A match made in heaven...

One is a creepy anachronism. The other is, ah,... creepy.

--imm

[Thickasabrick]

23. I was just thinking that - this "competition" is a throw back to times

we should be trying to run away from.

[Quasimodem]

24. Well, lots of luck, as the Miss America Pageant embarks upon a new direction, but ...

... with Rushbo's judgment involved, should it not be rename The 2010 Miss Anti-American Beauty Pageant?

[neuvocat]

25. He and Perez Hilton deserve each other.

[MidwestTransplant]

26. They just want publicity. Didn't it go bankrupt at one point or something?

[madokie]

29. That stupid bastage wouldn't know a pretty woman if his life depended on it

how in the hell can he even be allowed around the opposite sex, what a despicable person

[SalmonChantedEvening]

30. He'll be useless judging the Talent Compeition.

Unless of course, one of the contestants berates a maid until she does drug funs for her.

[Cha]

32. This is like having tom delay on DWTS only

even more so.

Way to drag down the Miss America contest..stupids. Maybe they should do a background and foreground check on who they get for their judges.

I'd say boycott..but who the heck watches these things anymore.

[Tabasco_Dave]

33. The Miss America Pageant is a has been anyway

They don't even show it on network tv anymore. The last network that broadcast Miss America was CMT. They always had a conservative bias and people got bored with it, so Rush fits in perfectly. On a personal note i find beauty pageants boring, i like women in the size 10 to 14 range.

[Iggo]

35. Yep. I likes 'em actual size, too. (n/t)

[Iggo]

34. A guy I never listen to is judging a show I never watch?

Oh, dear god. Whatever will I do?

[ZombieHorde]

36. A stupid man to judge a stupid show. Sounds about right to me. nt

[Politicub]

37. Are they changing the name to Miss Aryan?

Not that it matters a great deal to me. I can't remember watching the pageant in years.

I guess it turned into a right wing gathering place after the nutty Prejean thing last year.
