      Anchorbabe? Is that the best you can do Rush? But dork will claim this is not sexist because Rush is just saying he finds Couric attractive.

        Yes...and we all know that Limbaugh LOVES women. He adores women. He respects thwm. He honors them...he puts them on a pedestal. He loves to wear their underwear. ;>)

          And he will always be there to remind a woman that no matter how successful and empowered, she will just be a "babe". He's a demon.

          He only puts them on a pedestal so he can look up their skirts.

      Oh, I see. As we've often seen, Rush likes to stick his thumb in the eye of his drooling sycophants, just to show the rest of us how good he is at fooling them. Today he's making a special point to show us that Troglodyte women are stupid, too. No doubt several will call his show today and tell him what a great American he is, and ask him to watch their feminist movement.

          It's interesting, this person claims to be a "conservative," based upon his screen name, but anyone who supports the decidedly NON-conservative lifestyle and values of Rush Limbaugh is obviously NOT a conservative.

      It's a lovely thought that no matter how successful and admired a woman can become, she will always be just a "babe". Way to cut women down a peg, Rush, we WERE getting a little big-headed with all our rights, and fancy hair and such.

      You shouldn't be attacking Rush here. He's not the one cutting the salary of the poor victimized Couric. You see CBS or any other network cutting any of the male anchor's salaries.

        So, CBS called Couric an "anchorbabe"? If there is actual sexual discrimination involved with the cutting of Couric's salary, I'll "attack" CBS. Until then, I'll just stick to the sexist pig who is the subject of this thread.

        Get your talking points straight, OldFart. The Troglodytes are taking the opposite tack:

        Both the New York Post and Matt Drudge reported today that Couric faces a salary cut when her contract is up, and quoted network insiders critical of the fact that she’s making so much money while others are losing their jobs.


        CBS Prez denies salary cut

          That sounds like the scene in "Broadcast News" when a network exec flack suggests that to Jack Nicolson's national anchorman character and then has to bow, scrape and backpedal.

          Sorry nerd, this was the first and only place I saw this. Haven't gotten around to reading my copy of the talking points today. Hey, I think Rush was being nice calling her an anchorbabe. He could have called her anchorhag.

        correction he had people's JOBS eliminated so he could get a 400 million dollar contract.

        the fact that couric should take a paycut is a given.

        why dont you call rush on his show and demand he take a pay cut too
