Limbaugh: Hillary sounds like a "screeching ex-wife."

If anybody is an expert on the subject of ex-wives, it is Rush Limbaugh. After all, Mr. Family Values has managed to acquire three of them.

Perhaps it is from this deep well of knowledge that Limbaugh drew when he described United States Senator Hillary Clinton (D-New York) as a "screeching ex-wife."

LIMBAUGH: She's responding to [Republican National Committee chairman] Ken Mehlman saying that she sounds mad, so she goes out and tries to sound soft and angelic, and she can't pull it off. She doesn't -- doesn't sound genuine.

But when -- when she's genuine, she sounds like a screeching ex-wife. And -- and -- and I don't say that -- there's nothing against ex-wives or women. I'm just trying to be descriptive here for you. Men will know what I mean by this. And I -- I -- I'm -- I'm sorry, I'm just -- I have, folks, the requisite understanding of the danger a Hillary presidency would pose. What I am not doing is quaking in fear over the possibility, yet, and I don't think that I ever will be. I just -- I'm -- I think "Hillary fear" is rooted in paranoia that dates back -- and it may be justified -- dates back to the eight years of Clinton where they got away with seemingly everything.

Maybe Limbaugh's Oxycontin-addled brain has trouble processing reality (he would be in fine GOP company), but Sen. Clinton is not an ex-wife, screeching or otherwise. She is a wife who is still married to her first husband, unlike each of the three former Mrs. Rush Limbaughs, God bless them.

Perhaps, as the political fortunes of the GOP lean toward hell, Limbaugh has decided to help the party shore up one of the most reliable components of its base: misogynists. After all, if they lose the woman-hater vote, what are they left with? Just the racists and the homophobes. A stool can't stand on just two legs.
