If you read my post (and actually understood it) you would not have had to presume anything about "where I am going with this". I went there already.
I am furious that Rush went off the rails and surrendered a winning argument by getting personal and ugly.
He shot us all in the foot.
Even worse - this was called an “informal hearing” - which while perhaps controversial, has no effect on already passed legislation.
Rush has always been good being provocative, without making himself the story...he should have stayed on the humorous side.
He could have gotten by just with the “she’s having so much sex...” part - and made his point. (which I think was more about the 3000 dollar figure)
“He shot us all in the foot.”

Speak for yourself, Surrender Monkey. As for me - my foot is fine.
You would prefer that Rush had used more “civil” language and as a result, this debate would not have been national news? You would prefer that Fluke had gotten away with what she did without a strong condemnation from anyone on the right?
Look. Because Rush called her a Slut - it proves to the leftists that we SoCons are NOT just going to sit by and swallow load after load of the social attacks THEY bombard us with daily.
I’m so sorry such strong language on Rush’s part offended your delicate sensibilities, and I’m sorry that you obviously agree wtih wimps like Boehner who called Rush’s remarks “inappropriate”, but I am happy as hell that someone like Rush has the cajones to simply state an obvious and fundamental truth; Fluke is a Slut.
So “Mr Shot in the Foot”; you just limp over to the sidelines and let us real conservatives kick some butt.
