Rush’s “apology” to Sandra Fluke doesn’t begin to cover it. Calling her a slut was the least of the ugliness he heaped upon her. Rush made it clear in his attack that any woman who is not ashamed enough of the fact that she has sex to keep quiet about it is a whore, a prostitute, a slut. And furthermore, he would like to get him some of that or at the very least watch videos of it online. One can only be relieved that none of Rush’s wives stuck around long enough to bear him a child, especially a daughter.
As expected, Rush’s “apology” makes it clear he still means every word he said and only regrets, like Mitt Romney, the semantics.
For over 20 years, I have illustrated the absurd with absurdity, three hours a day, five days a week. In this instance, I chose the wrong words in my analogy of the situation. I did not mean a personal attack on Ms. Fluke.
I think it is absolutely absurd that during these very serious political times, we are discussing personal sexual recreational activities before members of Congress. I personally do not agree that American citizens should pay for these social activities. What happened to personal responsibility and accountability? Where do we draw the line? If this is accepted as the norm, what will follow? Will we be debating if taxpayers should pay for new sneakers for all students that are interested in running to keep fit?In my monologue, I posited that it is not our business whatsoever to know what is going on in anyone’s bedroom nor do I think it is a topic that should reach a Presidential level.
My choice of words was not the best, and in the attempt to be humorous, I created a national stir. I sincerely apologize to Ms. Fluke for the insulting word choices.
Rush’s apology doesn’t match his original defamatory comments. Moreover, he clearly doesn’t understand the nature of Ms. Fluke’s testimony. Since he is unable to identify the political issues in play, his bilious program should be taken off the air, as he has become irrelevant to political discourse and has descended into being a misogynistic bloviator. I have already sent in my complaint to ClearChannel and the FCC, and I urge all out there who are self-respecting women or are partnered with, married to, parenting, or related to such women, to also register their disgust that his program still continues.
Thanks, Trish, for the addresses and sponsor list.
Jon Stewart is funny. Bill Maher is funny. rush limbaugh is sick.
Love you little Trish, AV
In political terms, I’d say that this written statement released on a Saturday, a non-news day, is the very definition of a non-apology. If Clear Channel, Limbaugh’s employer, ever forces Limbaugh to apologize, it will be at a midweek news conference and he’ll have his lawyers and his trophy wife at his side.
This was a political statement that was carefully crafted to keep the controversy going — to prolong his enemies’ outrage and keep the media spotlight focused on him.
it’s about time someone took Limbaugh to task for his evil mouth. Bravo all you sponsors that have dumped him. Your actions have made me more interested in your products.
was very happy to hear Rush is being admonished. If he hurts the Republican party, so be it. They should be opening their mouths and backing away from him and quickly. It may help them lose the 2012.
