Rush' Freudian Slip is Showing

Today Rush Limbaugh declared that when dealing with Hillary Clinton, "you better be wearing a protective cup between your legs." Rush is a little too smart for this to be a true Freudian slip. I suspect he is trying to drive home the message among the faithful: "a chick is running for president and if she succeeds all our wanks are a bit smaller."

I have me reservations about HRC, but one of the unintended benefits of her ascent is getting to watch men of Rush's generation knash their teeth over the fact that we may have a woman president and the last bastion of the white man's club is being toppled -- at least symbolically. The Boomers saw this coming, but the GI Generation and the Silents feel it on a visceral level.

Wait for the predictable retort, "Its not women we have a problem with, just this particular woman....and Nancy Pelosi ... and Jennifer Granholm ... and Barabara Boxer and .... Olympia Dukakis and...."
