Rush Has Apologized For ‘Insulting Word Choices’

I don't particularly make it a goal in my day to listen to Rush Limbaugh, mostly because I'm jealous of his gold microphone. :-) But I think we all heard about Rush calling Sandra Fluke a "slut" and a "prostitute" during his show last week.

Here's how it went down on Rush Limbaugh's show:

Here's Sandra Fluke in front of Congress:

OK so you've seen both sides now. So there's an obvious stir about this. I guess this hit a nerve, I mean lots of you have already weighed in on the Snake's Facebook Page.

And the way radio works is advertising and those paying advertiser are getting VERY nervous because of Rush's comment, so last Saturday, he apologized:

A Statement from Rush
March 03, 2012
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.
