Your Sexist, Age-ist Jerks of the Day

Are Republican politicians and media figures sexist, age-ist scum? Take former Mitt Romney strategist Stuart Stevens. He’s also worked for“Albanian Prime Minister Sali Berisha and Congolese President Joseph Kabila. If you’re not familiar with them, they are “authoritarian figures who have alarmed human rights groups and, at times, the U.S. State Department.” (Stevens himself describes his work as “an outlet for my violent tendencies.”)

Stevens is in a New York Times article lambasting Hillary Clinton’s age. See, she "seems like she’s been around since the 70’s." (Never mind that the same could be said of him!)

Then there’s Mitch McConnell. The Republican senator is five years OLDER than Clinton, but he described her potential presidential campaign as“a rerun of 'The Golden Girls'.”

But for sheer class, nobody outdid Rush Limbaugh. He asked whether the American people “want to vote for somebody, a woman, and actually watch a woman get older before their eyes on a daily basis?”
