Rush Limbaugh: ‘If I Had A Daughter, She Would Look Like Ann Romney!’

You’ve got to hand it to Rush Limbaugh; the guy knows how to offend people and he genuinely enjoys his job. Take for example the absolutely gleeful laugh he lets loose this moment from today’s radio show caught by the eagle-eared (do eagles have good hearing?) listeners at The Daily Rushbo. In the clip, Limbaugh clearly knows he’s hit offensive gold when he exclaims to his audience, “If I had a daughter, she would look like Ann Romney!”

The comment, an obvious play off President Obama’s response to the Trayvon Martin shooting, will quickly elicit one of three responses. Limbaugh’s fans will see it as a hilarious skewering of what they view as partisan outrage over the Martin death. Limbaugh’s detractors will see it as an outrageous attempt to equate a millionaire’s feelings getting hurt to a 17-year-old getting shot to death. And everyone else will just think, “His ‘daughter’? How freaking old is Rush Limbaugh?”

Listen to the clip below:
