Rush Limbaugh Apologizes To Sandra Fluke
“I sincerely apologize to Ms. Fluke for the insulting word choices.” (The words were “prostitute” and “slut.”) Rush doesn’t exactly apologize often, and the move is a sign of just how bad this is for the Republican Party. Read his full statement.
Here’s the full statement from radio host Rush Limbaugh:
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.

WhatTheHolyHeck a year agoHe followed this up with what we could expect: finger pointing and blame-sharing. Essentially, he said he did it because he was channeling his inner liberal, since liberals call women seeking healthcare parity “sluts” all the time. Read this and be appalled. I particularly like the bit where he says he maintains a high degree of integrity and independence on his program. Am I the only one who remembers very clearly his “carrying water” contrition?

harrisonfritz a year ago“As a young professional, I spend nearly $5000 on boozing it up. This can represent multiple paychecks for me. I believe the federal government has a responsibility to aid me in my late night boozing by mandating companies provide me boozing stipends. And cab stipends too, for when the metro stops running. Also, would it really hurt the federal government to cover a few jumbo slices, too?” - a friend

chriso14 a year agoyou moonbat leftwingnuts are such self serving pompous a-holes . no wonder you are so mean and nasty.No wonder nobody likes you or agrees with you but your own kind.You have made a cottage industry out of victimization.At taxpayers expense I might add. In your small indoctrinated minds you think you are right about everything. being roughly about only 20% of the population you make all the whining sniveling drivel like you are the majority. You are not. Do you idiots actually go back and read your ludicrous posts? do you see how stupid you sound? Like little lemming all running toward the precipice. run faster jump farther.

SitaSky a year agoHow can he say that we shouldn’t be discussing sexual activities on a national level but he also said he wanted to see videos of all the women who used the contraceptives when they are having sex? That wasn’t absurd, it was disgusting, sexist, and deeply insulting. The guy obviously has sexual issues and can’t handle the idea that it’s 2012 and not 1912 and that women have the right to choose their own medical care including whether or not to use contraceptives.

davidw15 a year agoFace it, conservatives: You’re not “politically incorrect.”
You’re just incorrect. When you say it’s “unfair” for a tax-receiving, tax-exempt organization to have to cover its employees’ health plans like any other company, you’re incorrect. “Exemption from any and every social obligation we don’t like, even when we already have an unearned tax-exempt status” is not a religious freedom granted by the First Amendment. Their employees, on the other hand, are not getting something for nothing. Most of those employees actually WORK for their daily bread and birth control coverage, unlike a lot of their ecclesiastical superiors, many of whom don’t so much work as preach bullshit for a living…. So I can understand why Rush would side with the clergy on this issue. -

Ash a year agoI like how the emo right comes to Rush’s defense. “OH god, why are the liberals so mean to us? Why don’t they let us say all the stupid, sexist, racist,obnoxious comments and opinions that we have in our black little hearts? Why won’t they stand there and listen to us spew our garbage!? It’s our right that everyone has to listen to what we say! I swear I’m going to go cut myself again if I have to appear PC to someone again!” Listen up dipshits. First off, free speech is the government hindering or taking away your right to speak. IT IS NOT THE PROTECTION FROM BEING SHOUTED BACK AT BY OTHER AMERICANS. Look it up in your goddamn pocket constitutions. Secondly, when you say stupid and offensive crap, other people are free to tell you what grade of asshole you are. Don’t like it? Who fucking cares if you like it?

chriso14 a year agoRush should not have caved.. WTF can’t you say what you believe in anymore without the moonbat media and this faux president excoriating and verbally raping you?? I guess free speech at this point in our history is defined as what political correctness and the lunatic left will allow.
