\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Try this, folks. This is just incredible. “Iowa City, Iowa — The Iowa Supreme Court today stood by its ruling that a dentist acted legally when he fired an assistant because he found her too attractive and worried he would try to start an affair. Coming to the same conclusion as it did in December, the all-male court found that bosses can fire employees they see as threats to their marriages…”<\/p>\n

There doesn\u2019t have to be any activity that has taken place. <\/p>\n

There does not have to have been an affair. The beautiful woman in question does not have to have made an advance or any move whatsoever. The predator male in the circumstance need not have made a move on the attractive woman. What the Iowa State Supreme Court has ruled is that if a man thinks that he is going to be inclined to make a move on a beautiful woman in his office, he can fire her legally, simply because she\u2019s beautiful. <\/line><\/p>\n

May I call your attention once again to Undeniable Truth of Life No. 24 come to life yet again (albeit in a reverse form)? The feminists… I will guarantee you, the feminists are conflicted by this, but at the end of the day they have to be cheering this. Because feminism basically exists to level the scales, to level the playing field between attractive and unattractive women. That\u2019s why it\u2019s there. When you strip all the politics away — and feminism is totally about militant liberalism. <\/line><\/p>\n

When you strip it all away, there\u2019s also the attractive-versus-unattractive factor, which is (I think) one of the primary reasons the modern era of the feminist movement got ginned up in the first place. The court said that a guy firing an attractive female employee does not “count as illegal sex discrimination because they are motivated by feelings, not gender,” and the feelings are apprehension and fear.<\/p>\n

Fear that the beauty of the female employee is going to undermine a marriage by inspiring the predator male to make a move on the female employee, have an affair with her — and, of course, the female employee is going to be inclined to accept the boss\u2019s advances, otherwise she\u2019ll get canned. So the other female employees… Well, look. See, this is the thing. I hate to have to go there, but you do have to consider:<\/p>\n

How does this make the unattractive women in this guy\u2019s office feel? <\/line><\/p>\n

Do they feel safer that they don\u2019t face the same risk of being fired because the boss is not attracted to them and may want to have an affair with them? Or are they jealous or envious? The wife is a factor in this story. “The ruling upholds a judge\u2019s decision to dismiss a discrimination lawsuit filed against Fort Dodge dentist James Knight,” the guy we\u2019re talking about “who fired assistant Melissa Nelson, even while acknowledging she had been a stellar employee for 10 years. Knight and his wife…”<\/p>\n

Ahem. May I repeat?<\/p>\n

The dentist, James “Knight and his wife believed that his attraction to Nelson — two decades younger than the dentist — had become a threat to their marriage. Nelson, now 33, was replaced by another woman,” obviously unattractive. “Knight had an all-female staff. The all-male court…” That\u2019s the second time the story references them that way. “The all-male court issued its revised opinion today in the case after taking the unusual step last month of withdrawing its December opinion, which had received nationwide publicity, debate and criticism.<\/p>\n

“Nelson\u2019s attorney,” the attractive woman fired because of what might happen, “Paige Fiedler, had asked the court in January to reconsider, calling the decision a blow for gender and racial equity in the workplace. She had warned the opinion could allow bosses to legally fire dark-skinned blacks and replace them with light-skinned blacks or small-breasted workers in favor of big-breasted workers.” I kid you not. <\/p>\n

That\u2019s what the beautiful employee\u2019s lawyer said. So you could fire a “dark-skinned black”? What was the assumption there? That the dark-skinned black is gonna be less attractive than the light-skinned black, to a white dentist? (chuckles) Somebody with big boobs stands a risk of getting fired more than somebody with small boobs? Anyway, the “all-male court” threw all of that out and stood by the dentists decision to fire the woman. (interruption)<\/p>\n

Well, the wife is only mentioned once in the story but at a very key moment and in a very key way. “Fort Dodge dentist James Knight,” (ahem), “who fired assistant Melissa Nelson, even while acknowledging she had been a stellar employee for 10 years,” and nothing had ever happened, by the way. “Knight [ahem] and his wife [ahem] believed that his attraction to Nelson — two decades younger than the dentist — had become a threat to their marriage.”<\/p>\n

<\/a>It means the wife thought this. The dentist didn\u2019t. <\/p>\n

Tere\u2019s a picture here of the fired woman. You want to see it? Yeah. I gotta take a break, but I\u2019ll show you after the break.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Anyway, here comes the picture of the employee canned because the dentist felt like he might want to have an affair with her, and the dentist\u2019s wife thought the same thing. There she is. That\u2019s the 10-year employee that was fired. Sorry if you don\u2019t have a Dittocam. Get it at RushLimbaugh.com. Just become a subscriber.<\/a> Just do it. Otherwise you can\u2019t see this, and this doesn\u2019t mean anything to you. People watching on the Dittocam are no doubt (don\u2019t doubt me on this) are shocked that this…<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay. Again, for those of you have the Dittocam, here is a close-up of the dentist and his wife. This is the dentist who was legally allowed to fire his assistant of 10 years \u2019cause she too attractive and he might want to have an affair. That\u2019s the dentist and the wife. Here comes another picture of the employee, and that\u2019s with an infant. Now, I\u2019ve sent these pictures up to RushLimbaugh.com. I\u2019ve sent \u2019em up to Koko Jr., and he will put these pictures at RushLimbaugh.com, or link to them, whatever we have to do, so that you who do not have the Dittocam can see them. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

Joanne in Virginia Beach, I\u2019m glad you waited. I really appreciate your patience. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush. Thank you so much. I was in dentistry for 26 years, and I find this whole thing absolutely ludicrous. The wife… I saw her on the Dittocam, and she\u2019s not unattractive. Maybe a little lifestyle lift. You know, get her back to where she thinks she needs to be. But it\u2019s definitely an issue between their marriage if the husband thinks that he might have an affair with an employee because she\u2019s attractive? Give me a break. It\u2019s ridiculous.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Let me play devil\u2019s advocate with you here.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Okay.<\/p>\n

RUSH: There are some women who might think this guy\u2019s wonderful. There are some women who might think this guy is great — that he saw a temptation, that he took steps to remove it in order to preserve and protect his marriage — that he was admitting a weakness, that he might have fallen and done great damage to his marriage, and so he took a proactive action and got the temptation out of the way.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, I think that\u2019s… It\u2019s a bunch of horse hockey. I think that if their marriage is strong, and if they have a good relationship and if they have good communication, nothing can come between the two of them.<\/p>\n

RUSH: So, okay, but can I infer from that that you think there might have been something wrong in the marriage to begin with?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Absolutely. I worked for a dentist for 26 of years.<\/p>\n

RUSH: What has that got…? I don\u2019t mean to be rude.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I wouldn\u2019t never date a dentist. They\u2019re insane.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, I was just gonna ask you what that has to do with anything. “Dentists are insane.”<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, that\u2019s certainly the kind of personality that goes into dentistry, and a lot of people are perfectionists.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: You know, I\u2019ve worked for a lot of really good dentists, but they have their own particular quirks, you know? Just like there are some industries where it takes a certain type personality to do that particular job —<\/p>\n

RUSH: It\u2019s like this one.<\/p>\n

CALLER: — or career.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019m telling you, you have to be off kilter psychologically to succeed at this job, the one I\u2019ve got.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, I absolutely! I have to agree with you.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Because you have to lie to yourself every day.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, you have to, otherwise you\u2019re gonna… You can make yourself crazy because everything that that\u2019s… You know, I\u2019m not that much younger than you are.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/line><\/p>\n

CALLER: And I\u2019m watching right turn into wrong, wrong turn into right — up is down, down is up — and I\u2019m like, “What happened to the society I grew up in?” And for this couple to go ahead and take this person\u2019s livelihood away because she\u2019s attractive? I mean, she did her job. She was good at her job.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s true. There was no issue there.<\/p>\n

CALLER: She wasn\u2019t flirting with the dentist.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s right. There was no complaint about her job performance. It was strictly him, and the court acknowledged that this was not about anything other than feelings. This guy was allowed to make this move because of feelings. Well, if that\u2019s the case, could he fire an unattractive female assistant because she makes him nervous for some other reason?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, I\u2019m sure. I mean, this opens Pandora\u2019s box to whatever. I mean, it\u2019s ridiculous. I\u2019ve been fired from jobs before for poor performance or attitude, you know, when I was younger, but never because of personal appearance. I mean, I think there\u2019s something wrong with their marriage, something wrong with their relationship, and she was just a convenient excuse. I think they need to work on whatever it is because no employee in his office is safe until he retires.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, Joanne, thanks. I appreciate your input on that. Again, the court said that such firings do not count as illegal sex discrimination because this is all motivated by feelings, not gender. So you could, as I did, infer that employers can now fire unattractive people because of the feelings that they generate. Why not?<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Nathan in Fenton, Michigan. You\u2019re next, hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush. I guess the point that I wanted to make was about this dental hygienist that got fired.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Shouldn\u2019t the employer be able to fire his employee for really any reason he desires? <\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Unless she\u2019s got some kind of contract, it don\u2019t really make a difference if she\u2019s pretty or not.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right.<\/p>\n

CALLER: In the free market, he should be able to fire her no questions asked and that\u2019s no big a deal.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s the pure interpretation. Exactly right. But you know as well as I do that it\u2019s harder and harder to fire people. Now, in certain states you don\u2019t. You know, in Florida you don\u2019t have to give people a reason. But in other states you have to document it. You wouldn\u2019t believe the steps that employers go to in setting up the termination of an employee. It\u2019s called “building the file.”<\/p>\n

You send \u2019em memos, you warn \u2019em that they\u2019re not performing right — it sometimes takes six months — so that when you make the move you\u2019ve got backup \u2019cause they can sue you, even if they have no case. They can sue you and cause you trouble. But, you\u2019re right, this guy ought to be able to fire anybody he wants for whatever reason. This guy just said, “Look, I want to get rid of her because this woman…<\/p>\n

“Think Samson and Delilah. I\u2019m too tempted here.” What really was going on is that there were pressures from “outside the office.” Let\u2019s put it that way: There were pressures from outside the office, and she didn\u2019t deserve to be fired for any conventional performance or subordination reason. But it is fascinating that this case winds all the way up to Supreme Court of Iowa and that they justify it. <\/p>\n

But in truth, the caller\u2019s right. <\/p>\n

In the free market, you should be able to fire anybody.<\/p>\n

But that\u2019s become abuse now in our touchy-feely society, because the purpose of a business is to hire people so they have jobs and give \u2019em health care. That\u2019s the only reason that there are businesses, as far as the low-information crowd\u2019s concerned. So if the purpose of a business is to hire people, what business does it have firing anybody? That\u2019s an offense. That shouldn\u2019t happen. But yep, you\u2019re right.<\/p>\n

(interruption)<\/p>\n

Could be. You could end up being charged with discrimination for getting rid of somebody because now they\u2019re without health care.<\/p>\n

Yeah. It\u2019s entirely possible. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
