Limbaugh's Loose Lips Lead To On-Air Apology
Billboard Radio Monitor ^ | April 13, 2005 | Tony Sanders

Posted on 04/13/2005 5:45:14 PM PDT by rface

Rush Limbaugh, in a fit of “unbridled passion,” used his self-described “pouty lips” to utter the words “blow jobs” on his April 12 show. The incident occurred during a diatribe about former Vice President Al Gore’s new cable TV network. Limbaugh was responding to a statement made by Gore that his new venture would "reflect the point of view of young people."

"What the hell is that, Al?" Limbaugh asked. "What the hell is the point of view of young people? Blow jobs, that's what they're doing out there. They're out there getting oral sex all day long, that's what they're talking about."

Limbaugh went on to blame former President Bill Clinton for making oral sex "the number one sport in high school today. " He also referred to Gore's venture as "a BJ network" and "the oral sex channel."

Later in his show Limbaugh apologized, sort of. "I am going to apologize not for saying what I said, but I'm going to apologize if it offended anybody," he said. "I never apologize for what I say, but if some of you were offended by a graphic term involving actions committed by Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky, that have now spread to America’s high schools, I apologize."

"I meant to say 'oral sex' throughout," he went on to say, "but the guttural term escaped my pouty lips in a moment of pure, unbridled passion. The staff was so stunned and so scared today they didn't dare hit the delete button, the deedle button, and so it got out there. My reaction is, somebody go ahead and turn me into the FCC. I'll be honored to be fined. It's just another government agency with its hand in my back pocket, so go right ahead."

A spokeswoman at Premiere Radio Networks, which syndicates Limbaugh's show, confirmed a transcript of Limbaugh's outburst but declined to make any other comments.

What is wrong with the truth?

Answer: The truth has no agenda.

I read a report the other day that teens as young as 12 I think it was are engaging in this practice. They say they are still virgins because they haven't had sex. Very high percentage of young teens. I was shocked. I didn't even know any of that when I got married!!

I think he may have latent homosexual tendencies.

With a screen name like, "humblegunner" it seems like you would know.

I thought Rush was right.

I absolutely LOVE your tagline.

They are quite unhinged, aren't they? It's pathetically annoying.

Accurate, even when he apologizes.

"Penis suction better?

LOL

I prefer the term "suck-start".
As in: "I'll bet that gal can suck-start a Harley".

Yes they are. Have you seen the article I posted about the wisconsin vote on feral cats? It's worse than any DU thread. Completely unhinged.
