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.”
