Wasn't Rush saying similar things about Obama during the campaign? Effeminate, skinny, not a real man, feeble, effete...

Of course we couldn't possibly call Rush a misogynist because he was careful to mention the virtues of the "female rat". (RAT, ffs!) Clever Rush, very clever. But not quite clever enough.

Slightly o/t, and generalization time, but what is this correlation between Repubs and macho/aggression/hostility to intellect? Why for example is it so predictable that action heroes like Stallone, Arnie, Seagal, Norris, etc - star of many a "put brain in neutral" action flick - would lean that way politically? Sometimes the real political divide seems to be between the cerebral and the visceral, with a higher proportion of Repubs gathering around the latter.
