Rush on the Run: Forced to Apologize as Advertisers Dump Him
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.
What To Do About Rush Limbaugh
Want to rid the public airways of Rush Limbaugh? Go to the top.
File a complaint with the Federal Communications Commission.
Next, contact his employer, who profits from Limbaugh’s perverted rants:

And finally, keep contacting the advertisers who support the Rush Limbaugh Show. I am not listing them here because, as of press time, many have discontinued their sponsorship (Quicken Loans, Sleep Train Mattress Centers, Heart & Body Extract, Oreck Upright Vacuum Cleaners, Sleep Number Beds, AutoZone, Citrix Online — aka GoToMeeting.com, GoToMyPC.com) and more are bailing by the minute.
But you might want to express to the Mitt Romney campaign how weak and mealy-mouthed their candidate sounded today, when all he could find to disagree about with Limbaugh was not what Rush said but how he said it.
“I’ll just say this, which is, it’s not the language I would have used. I’m focusing on the issues I think are significant in the country today, and that’s why I’m here talking about jobs and Ohio.”

Montana Judge Who Sent Email Implying Pres. Obama’s Mother Had Sex With Dogs Says He Isn’t Racist
To those who say that all racism is in the South (and that all those in the South are racist), I give you Chief U.S. District Judge Richard Cebull from the state of Montana.
His honor, appointed to the bench by Pres. George W. Bush, thought this email was appropriate to circulate among six “old buddies:”
The forwarded text reads:
“Normally I don’t send or forward a lot of these, but even by my standards, it was a bit touching. I want all of my friends to feel what I felt when I read this. Hope it touches your heart like it did mine.
“A little boy said to his mother; ‘Mommy, how come I’m black and you’re white?’” the e-mail joke reads. “His mother replied, ‘Don’t even go there Barack! From what I can remember about that party, you’re lucky you don’t bark!’”
The judge, upon being ratted out by one of those buds, quickly apologized, saying it’s not that he’s racist, it’s just that he hates Pres. Obama.
Romney, the Financial Genius, Gets Less Bang for His Buck than Santorum
$10.40
What the Mitt Romney campaign and his PAC, Restore Our Future, paid for each vote cast for their guy in Michigan, according to Electablog. Romney’s funding sources poured a total of $4.27 million into the state, while Rick Santorum’s supporters spent $2.27 million, or about $6 per vote. Nine out of ten Romney ads were negative, but they netted him 32,393 more votes than Santorum, or 3%.
Declaration of Independence: More Maine Voters are Undeclared Than Members of Any One Party
335,154
Number of voters in Maine, where Sen. Olympia Snowe (R) announced she will not seek another term, who are registered to vote but are “undeclared” for any party. An additional 294,586 are registered as Democrats, 256,520 as Republicans, and 31,064 are members of the Green party. Snowe was facing a tea party challenger in the Republican primary.
Frum: Romney is the Candidate of the Rich and the Old
Romney has now wholly identified himself as the candidate of the rich and the old. Nothing is to be asked from those over 55. Much is to be given to upper-income earners. All the burden of fiscal adjustment is to be piled on the poor and the young…Compassionate conservatism has been dead for a long time. Romney’s Detroit speech cremated the remains…he has now finally eliminated the policy differences separating him from the radical congressional wing. If Romney should win the Republican nomination, moderate and independent voters nationwide will be forced to decide: If they vote for Romney, who is it they’re truly voting for?

Romney Adds to Growing List of Bigger and Better Gaffes at Daytona
For those of you who are doing shots every time Mitt Romney speaks a gaffe, we have a seat reserved for you at the next A.A. meeting. The man can’t make a public appearance without saying something to vividly illustrate how rich and out of touch he is.
Consider his photo op at the Daytona 500 for example. After taking a valuable day off from campaigning in Michigan to jet down to the scheduled race* to prove he’s a motorhead like the rest of us average Joes, Romney blew it as he toured the stands.
Asked by an Associated Press reporter as he was greeting NASCAR fans whether he follows the sport, Romney said: “Not as closely as some of the most ardent fans. But I have some great friends that are NASCAR team owners.”
That’s like saying you enjoy football because you hang out with Roger Goodell. At the Super Bowl. In the sky box.
But Romney wasn’t done. Oh no, not while he still has a mouth to speak with and a foot to fill it.
Study: Right Wingers Are Less Intelligent
A new study released earlier this month confirms an obvious fact:
Right-wingers tend to be less intelligent than left-wingers, and people with low childhood intelligence tend to grow up to have racist and anti-gay views, says a controversial new study.
Conservative politics work almost as a “gateway” into prejudice against others, say the Canadian academics.
