Before Barry Goldwater went completely off the conservative ranch he wrote a book called “With No Apologies”. In it he illustrated the political negative associated with apologizing even if you are at fault. Just don’t do it.
Except Rush is NOT a politician. He is an entertainer with sponsors. When Carbonite, who appears to back politically conservative entertainers, cancels this quick it should send up a red flag. They know that he has stepped into verboten territory. As much as an idiot as Fluke is, you can’t attack private citizens like that, even if it is in jest. Unfortunately, use of the word ‘slut’ took the focus off of her moronic statements and put the bullseye on his back. People that defend what he said need to reassess their tactics. Their message, not their persons, need to be attacked. All in all, I’m pretty sure that Rush will survive this. But he may be the only talk show host who could.
