Rush Limbaugh To Judge Beauty Pageant [Miss America]

Great. Wonderful. Rush Limbaugh is going to be a celebrity judge at next year's Miss America pageant . Congrats to the Miss America organizers for finding a celebrity judge precisely as revolting as Miss USA's Perez Hilton! Now you just need a stupid contestant to become a political martyr and your 2010 media strategy will be basically mapped out. And, black contestants, don't get your hopes up.
