Indeed. That sound you heard was my head exploding.

“This is about expanding the reach and power of government into your womb, if you're a woman. This is about the Democrat Party wanting more and more control over you. What was early feminism all about? Emancipation, individuality, freedom, liberation, all of these things. Now here comes Danica Patrick out and she says, "I'm perfectly comfortable letting the government make my health decisions for me." Well, folks, I'm gonna tell you: Right there, that's the death and the end of feminism.”
Can I just say how much this quote bothered me, especially with all the legislation that the republicans keep pushing for transvaginal ultrasounds and all the other anti-woman bills.

You might be glad to know a few of Limbaugh's sponsors pulled their advertisments because of his comment. These include (but there may be more soon): Legal Zoom, Quicken Loans, Sleep Train Mattress Centers, and Sleep Number.

But at least there's this:

I've been contacting his advertisers. This guy can't be ignored anymore.

*hugs offered* Looking forward to seeing you at Lunacon, hopefully I can get a ride up to Westchester for the day!

I'm coming from LI, so hubby would be driving. if I do make it I'll say hey and bring you a Cookie Puss!

I'm avoiding it because it's really not news. Hate filled bigot spouts hate filled bigotry. Top news.

The only times it got interesting was when the sad bottom-feeder found his ad reventue feeling for the hills.

I know two wrongs don't make a right, but the female legislators who have put forward bills regarding men's health in order to prove a point make me happy: http://www.progressohio.org/blog/2012/03/senator-turner-introduces-legislation-to-protect-mens-health.html

Ugh yes. I swear I can not even read the things he said without my blood pressure spiking.

I thought you might enjoy this. From this Sunday's Times:
