The term, “Breck Girl” has been used by Rush often and may have been invented by him.

Actually, left-wing columnist Molly Ivins used that epithet on Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison more than 15 years ago, back when Kay was put on trial by Ronnie Earle (the DA who took down Tom DeLay) for the same "offense" Clinton's people pooh-poohed when Al Gore was accused of making political phone calls on a White House phone. Kay's staff were accused of using her state office phones on her senatorial campaigns -- so Earle indicted Kay. (Someone needs to make him go "crunch.")

Ivins sneered that the people of Texas would never find guilty any woman who wore "Breck hair and Peter Pan collars."
