Rush Limbaugh's interests with Sandra Fluke has begun to wane.

Faced with sponsors leaving his program in droves and the loss of 2 radio stations, he has found a new object for his affection, attention, attack.

And of course to prove he's not a misogynist the person of interest is female, Tracie McMillan.

What did she do to earn his wrath?

She's young, single (because we all know SINGLE woman are the source of all evil in the world) and she's educated.

No seriously, he attacked her for being educated.

What is it with all of these young single white women, overeducated — doesn’t mean intelligent. For example, Tracie McMillan, the author of this book, seems to be just out of college and already she has been showered with awards, including the 2006 James Aronson Award for Social Justice Journalism. Social justice journalism. This woman who wrote the book on food inequality, food justice, got an award for social justice journalism.

Maybe it's jealousy that she's gotten so much so quickly (due to work) in her 20s, that he had to wait until his late 30s to begin to achieve, (You know that damned preferential treatment smart young females get.) that's lead him on the attack. Maybe it's food.

Or maybe it's just . . .

SNIP

. . . that he's a misogynist.

And after 2 years of the Republican war on women, we've had enough.

He's taught his minions well to wield this tool. Oh, and there's the outright lies and made-up facts that help too. But never, ever ever ever ever... NEVER have a true debate based on evidence and facts.

LIMBOsevic floundering for a topic, one hour and counting

He has been phony raving against the "assault on freedom" on the topic of "food justice." Yes, flailing to tie it into the "war on women" that, he says, the Rethug party is accused of waging.

It's not unusual for him to go for an hour and a half without calls. But this has been numbing. (I'm recovering from something, so it was a matter of poison chasing poison to cure it.)

The few of us (me) whose antennae sensed danger from Day 1 that he went national, when no other Dems/Libs were aware of him, we know when he is in his self-pity mode, with the gurgle of restrained weeping behind the false bravado. Like when he was being investigated for his drug thing and he blubbered, "LET them frog march me" or when he blubbered, "I'm DEAF!1"

He hasn't gone to that level, but the self-pity is there. He is now 20 minutes into the second hour and made a reference to playing sound bytes of "the many times" he has gotten in trouble offending.
