In 1991 I lived in the Southeastern part of Missouri. Rush is a native of Cape Girardeau?which was less than 100 miles from my home. I listed to his radio show and I believe this was about the time he began to take off nationally. In 1991 Rush?s show was not as crazed and demented as it is
now .

There was a period of a few weeks in 1991 that Rush instituted a ?policy? on his radio show. He made it a requirement that all female listeners send a photo of themselves to his show before he would do any on-air commentary with them. He made it clear that the photos could be as revealing as possible. I still wonder if I imagined that as it still sounds so bizarre. I also recall that some of his comments to female callers bordered on the risque-often very flirtatious with a great deal of sexual innuendo. If there are tapes of some of those old radio shows, I am sure they will verify my memory. The tapes , I assume, are considered public record as they were aired nationwide.

You gotta be kidding? Is being controversial making ratings go high? This seems to be what's happened to this country. Even the Great Walter Cronkite said before he died that there are people who think they are newsmen,but they are actors. Miss America has lost it's popularity and this is one of the reasons why people don't care about the pagent like they used to years ago. Rogue Limburger belongs on Fox Prime Time with the other idiots and now CBS is joining the company of know nothing,big mouthed tv boobs. If it wasn't for so many cable stations 90 % of the garbage on tv would be gone. This ASS#@&$ isn't fit to be a judge of anything. CBS just turned me off. Is CBS trying to compete with Fox? It's time for some better tv networks because I see the road that tv is going down and it really sucks. The Pagent is down enough without Rogue Limbaugh having a part of it. Anyway I see if you can start up controversy it makes for better ratings,you are following the path of hated shows such as Glen Beck,who O'Reilly says is the 2nd highest rated show on tv. Thats a lie. Miss America doesn't diity anymore with fake boobs,lips buttocks and who knows what else.

The chickenhawk, Rushbo, got out of serving in the military because of a pilonidal cyst. A highly treatable condition that amounts to a sore ass. His ickkk factor is off the charts. The issue is about whether or not it is hypocritical for those who escaped the draft to criticize others who did.

The African-American contestants might as well withdraw now because they have no chance with this racist goon as a judge.

If anyone is a racist it is you! walter Williams is a regular guest host on Rush Limbaugh's radio show. The truth is Rush is not a racist he's a conservative.

Rush is right about OBAMA and all his topics, people dont like him because they know deep down he's right, and they dont want things run the real AMERICAN way, the problem is a majority of people outside your average city agree with him and libs hate that. OBAMA in office is the best thing that could happen, he's messing this country up so bad that the RIGHT is growing stronger everyday, and everybody knows it.. OBAMA has hurt himself and will not be re-elected we can all see that coming..as far as being a judge, big deal anybody can do that, its funny they dont have OBAMA on the panel...probly because you have to be an AMERICAN.

Your idol limbaugh supposedly has 20 million listeners. I certainly wouldn't consider that a "majority of people outside an average city". There is intellect outside your trailer park. Try finding it sometime.

From what is posted on the net about Limbaugh, there must be little boys in the pageant.

typical liberal reply.

Three cheers or three jeers?
Let's remember that Limbaugh tried marriage 3 times. They all failed. Supposedly he gets his jollies when he travels to the Domincan Republic. Limbaugh is a dirty old man. That makes him an excellent judge for Miss America which exists primarily to pander to dirty old men.
