Well, remember when Bush was first elected Prez, and all the women in this country went into a mass celebration of Laura's superiority over ugly hairy-legged Hillary?
Laura was seen as the epitome of class, dignity and femininity. Most women in this country were thrilled to have a Real Lady back in the White House, someone who left everything to the People Who Knew Best: the Men. Someone whose pet issues were really safe and simple ones like literacy on which there is broad consensus, and kept away from thorny and complicated ones like healthcare reform, ala Hillary.
I maintain that Rosie had to leave because she made a lot of women very very uncomfortable.
Women in the heartland are okay with a Bill O'Reilly or a Rush Limbaugh being a pompous loudmouth, because they are conservative men. Not a liberal lesbian woman. Rosie
is an annoying aggressive noisy windbag, but a man with all those traits, along with being conservative of course, would not only be on the air, but would have his own show where he'd get paid millions and millions of dollars. And admired by millions of women.
