Raise your hand if you're shocked. Via Charlotte Observer:

N.C.

The headline from Media Matters:

Limbaugh Asks If Cain's Accusers Are Appearing Together Because "They Want To Synchronize Their Menstrual Periods"

This guy has a serious hatred for women, and he always has — going back 20+ years and his trademark "Femi-Nazis" meme. And to this day, nobody knows what he was doing in the Dominican Republic with a bottle of Viagra (not in his name) and no female companions traveling with him.

In Emerson's official review, which I've pasted below, she spends four pages correcting passages from O'Reilly's book before recommending that it not be offered for sale at Ford's Theatre because it is not up to quality standards. ... For example, "Killing Lincoln" makes multiple references to the Oval Office; in fact, Emerson points out, the office was not built until 1909."
