Rush Limbaugh says on his radio show<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Now, this theory of mine based on this Drudge picture of Mrs. Clinton, with the headline: "The Toll of a Campaign."  Now, it could well be that that’s a sympathy photo, too, to make people feel sorry for how tough the campaign trail is.  Now, I want to preface this by saying I know it’s going to get out there. Media Matters is going to get hold of this and they’re going to take it all out of context. We can expect that. It’s a badge of honor when this happens, but for the rest of you, I want you to understand that I am talking about the evolution of American culture here, and not so much Mrs. Clinton. It could be anybody, and it is really not very complicated.  Americans are addicted to physical perfection, thanks to Hollywood and thanks to television.  We know it because we see it.  We see everybody and their uncle in gyms. We see people starving themselves. We see people taking every miracle fad drug there is to lose weight. We see guys trying to get six-pack abs. We have women starving themselves trying to get into size zero and size one clothes; makeovers, facials, plastic surgery, everybody in the world does Botox, and this affects men, too.  As you know, the haughty John Kerry Botoxed his wrinkles out during the campaign. <\/p>\n
