this was one of Limbaugh's better show-grams.....his passion was blinding....Limbaugh is #1 and he deserves to be...

but on the other hand.....What is this culture coming to when el-Rushbo starts saying "Blow Job" on the airways!!??

[LauraleeBraswell]

I am just so offended by that word, everyone let's get offended. It's just so offensive. The word "blow job" is just offensive and so much more offensive than "oral sex."

Is that better? :-)

[JennMack]

stupid article. I listened to that show, he wasn't "apologizing", he was more or less joking.

[octobersky]

Universally understood euphemism. :-)

[humblegunner]

escaped my pouty lips in a moment of pure, unbridled passion

I think he may have latent homosexual tendencies.

[Mr. K]

I was just thinking that- he should have used the proper new term - getting a 'Lewinsky'

What good is ruining a poor young girls life if you are not going to exploit it afterwards.

[AQGeiger]

I thought Rush's show yesterday was fabulous. He's at his best when he's angry.

Is "blow job" a term that is considered obscene by the FCC? I couldn't understand why he apologized, except for that perhaps he broke his own standard of on-air decorum.

I didn't think it was a big deal.

[Normal4me]

Penis suction better?

[Waco]

Almost as offensive as "democrat". Not quite tho.

Imagine what it's like to have your name forever associated with BJ's. A scarlet letter if there ever was one, and well-deserved.

[billybudd]

What the hell is the point of view of young people? Blow jobs, that's what they're doing out there.

Huh, I must be out of the loop.

[TC Rider]

well, at least he and Shep Smith will have something to chat about.

[Cboldt]

What did Shep Smith get for his "BJ faux pas?"

[woofie]

The "blow" doesn't bother me the "job" does

[gorush]

I was so offended, I won't listen again...until tomorrow anyway. Keep up the great work Rushbo.

[Solamente]

Rush is a Chessmaster of vernacular. Even if he let slip, he masterfully countered.

If the FCC levies a fine, it will only bring in more listeners. Worked fine for Howard stern.

[dts32041]

I thought he was talking about the member of the daley crime lieutenant who is in charge of downstate illinois.

After all his Nick name is "BJ"

[woofie]

Then there is always the thing about sucking the chrome off a trailer hitch

[Nam Vet]

He shoulda just said a "Lewinski" and be done with it.
