Rush Limbaugh = Miss America judge

The popular radio jawflapper will be on the judges' panel in 2010. Perfect choice!

Beauty is in the eye of the bloviator.

Mediamatters.org reports that Limbaugh will join six other judges Jan. 30 at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas to ogle, I mean impartially review the next crop of contenders for purdiest gal in the U S of A. Limbaugh and the concept of beauty pageants are equally antiquated and tasteless, so -- perfect match. Good luck, any Miss America contestant who voted for Obama or believes that women's foundation garments no longer need be made of whalebone. Remember, Limbaugh's the guy who said: "everybody knows it was the vacuum cleaner that liberated women more than the pill."

I do commend Limbaugh for his impressive weight loss. So much so that I'd like to see him up on stage in the swimsuit competition instead of critiquing it.
