- I don't know about others, but I haven't answered simply because the
- usual "defense" is "oh, he was just _joking_! lighten up!" No matter how
- offensive a statement Rush makes, he can always back out by saying "it was
- a joke, gosh you've got a poor sense of humor." So unless Rush signs a
- statement that he thinks women are inferior to men, no one here is going to
- accept anything as "proof." Having said that... %)
-
- Recall the time on the tv show when Rush had a "messenger" woman who was
- dressed in ultra-short shorts, tight outfit, etc., who delivered the poor,
- shaking, terrified dog to the set (his name was Jeb, I think)? Do you
- recall Rush's comments when he called to the "messenger" to come back? He
- said she looked back, and then kept on going (off the set). Rush then made
- a comment to the effect of (I don't archive this stuff, look it up) how
- women were like cats, giving you "go to hell" looks when you call for them,
- unlike dogs, which are nice and loyal and loving. This is _not_ the exact
- wording, but (some of) you get the idea. Taken in isolation, you could try
- to claim it was a joke (really funny, hoo boy), but consider that Rush is
- constantly making feeble "jokes" about wives not letting their husbands
- watch football, etc. Rush's attitude toward women seems to be stuck at
- the "girls, yuck, I'd rather hang out with the guys" stage. I expect this
- attitude to change as soon as Rush can convince a woman to have sex with
- him.
