As sponsor after sponsor continue to pull ads from woman-hater Rush Limbaugh’s radio show for calling birth control advocate Sandra Fluke a “slut,” one Missouri woman is launching an attack against the conservative loudmouth’s bust in the Hall of Famous Missourians in the State Capitol.

Heather Woodside has started a petition demanding the removal of the bust, installed in the State Capitol by Missouri Republicans in 2012 in the midst of the fury generated by Limbaugh’s vicious sexist attack on Fluke.

In a statement to the St. Louis Post Dispatch, Woodside made it clear that Limbaugh doesn’t deserve a bust and it certainly doesn’t belong in the State Capitol.

“Since Sandra Fluke, Rush has still been demeaning women, people of color, immigrants, the working class and the LGBT community,” Woodside stated. “As a Missourian, I am appalled that we made and placed a bust of him in our State Capitol. He does not represent Missourians. He should not represent Missouri.”

21. Yeah! And it was the first one in Jefferson City to require security cameras...

Rush Limbaugh Bust In Hall of Famous Missourians Sticks Taxpayers With $1,100 Security Tab

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — The Missouri House has spent more than $1,100 in taxpayer money on a security camera to keep watch over a new bronze bust of conservative commentator Rush Limbaugh, the House clerk said Thursday.

Clerk Adam Crumbliss said he authorized the camera after discussions with Republican legislative leaders because of concerns the sculpture of Limbaugh's head and shoulders might be vandalized.

"We recognize that there was a level of controversy around it, and we want to make sure that property is protected," Crumbliss said. "We've had lots of calls, and some calls and complaints have been a little beyond the pale."

22. It is a disgrace the the people of Missouri permitted this.

He is a racist, misogynist pig.

[Faygo Kid]

25. Love the comments to the article.

They are strong, to say the least, and the sniveling right wing dittoheads are nowhere to be found.

Good.

[They_Live]

31. In my worst sniveling, croaky voice:

"that bust doesn't add anything to the economy. He sucking away all our tax money just so he can have sex with himself. He's a slut, and why should I have to pay for it?"

[Kurovski]

43. Signed it.

I added a comment:

"The Hall of Famous Missourians contains the busts such people as Mark Twain and Omar Bradley. An ignorant, bigoted misogynistic loudmouth like Limbaugh has no place among them.

[7962]

44. They must have a LOT of space for a head that big!

[Augiedog]

45. Urinal cakes

His bust could be used as a mold for urinal cakes, we would end up with a lot of women in men's rooms though, lining up to take their best shot at the ultimate potty mouth.

[Kurovski]

46. Holy shit! What the fuck was THAT doing there?

There's a reason you wait until people are dead to do this kind of shit. Sheesh.

[gopiscrap]

50. Rush is such a piece of shit

what an embarrassment to the State of Missouri
