Another Rush Limbaugh gaffe? He slams writer as 'authorette,' 'overeducated' [View all]
Another Rush Limbaugh gaffe? He slams writer as 'authorette,' 'overeducated'
6:16 PM, March 6, 2012 | Comments
Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh, fresh from an apology for his slurs against a law student on the subject of contraception, is drawing new fire today for remarks about women.
Forbes.com and other Web sites are reporting that Limbaugh spent the whole first hour of his program today discussing "The American Way of Eating," a new book by Flint-born journalist Tracie McMillan.
He referred to her as an "authorette" and tried to tie her to a trend of "all these young single white women" who are threatening Americans' freedoms.
