Insert both feet,Rush.
Recently on his radio show, Limbaugh took a call from a man who wanted to blame Obamas 2008 election on uninformed youth. Limbaugh interrupted him and said
drumroll

Ehhh, I can do one better than that. When WOMEN got the right to vote is when it all went downhill. Because thats when votes started being cast with emotion and uh, maternal instincts that government ought to reflect

All of a sudden, Rush stops talking mid-sentence as if hes realized what a horrible mistake hes just made. His caller took advantage of the silence and continued talking about how young people are the ones ruining elections. Limbaugh interrupts his caller, who he was clearly not listening to, as he tries to figure out how to extract his foot from his BIG MOUTH and said:

(46,369 posts)Ann Coulter on Bill Maher's "Politically Correct" said women should be allowed to have guns but not vote.
Other right-wingers have openly advocated for repealing women's right to vote.
