A Statement from Rush (Rush offers apology to Slut!)
Rushlimbaugh.com ^ | Mar 3, 2012 | Rush Limbaugh

Posted on 03/03/2012 2:15:11 PM PST by TSgt

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.

Reminds me of Anthony Weiner’s apology.

So Obama can give the finger to people, Jerry Brown can call Meg Whitman a whore, and Bill Maher can call Sarah Palin a twat, and Tracy Morgan can say he masturbates to her, AND NO ONE APOLOGIZES.

Bunch of crap.

What debate?

If Rush can’t stand, who can?

I think Rush apologizing is for the best. He was pointing out the absurdity of Fluke asking for her contraception to be provided to her free of charge, and the ridiculous amount of money she claims it costs, by pointing out how much sex one must be having for the cost to be that high. The melodramatic way she portrayed the 'plight' of the girls on campus who can't get birth control drugs was high comedy. I understood Rush's tongue-in-cheek intent, as would anyone would who listens on a regular basis and gets it. He crossed the line, however, when he used the word 'slut.'

In the lamestream media, the story is not the absurdity of Fluke's bogus victim status or the entitlement mentality for which she has just become the poster girl. It's that Rush called a young girl (though older than we were first led to believe) a nasty name to a national audience. That's all the casual observer of news is going to take away from this. It also enabled her to go on TV again and play up her victimhood to the world. Therefore, he has become the bad guy, and it makes our side look like a bunch of judgmental Pharisees.

We have to be smarter than that if we are going to win on this issue of religious freedom. And we have to win this one.

You are right. Most of the products sold on his show are never purchased by the OWS - occupy wall street types that are so fake indignant about this. Rush probably had to back off some, but he put it out there, and now only idiots will deny that she is a prostitute.
pros·ti·tute/ˈprästəˌt(y)o͞ot/

Noun:
A person, typically a woman, who engages in sex for payment.

Verb: Offer (someone, typically a woman) for sex for payment: "she never prostituted herself".

Synonyms:
strumpet - harlot - streetwalker - trollop - moll - drab

aka, a Fluke.

Classic Rush. He frames the issue, smacks Obama and apologizes not for the sentiment ... but for the word choice.

Classic :-)

Frankly, I think it’s irrelevant. Fluke is an internet meme now. She’s outted to the whole world as a slut, no matter what Rush says. Hope she’s proud!

No it isn't. She will be a shill for the DNC and be running in some Uber left district like Bawwanny Fwanks...

So we are going to get to see her blue pant sute and bad Bobby Sherman Haircut for eons...

This "gal" will be Patsy Schoerder on Steriods, sucks to be us..

It is always about money. I doubt that Rush lost any of his huge audience over this, and other advertisers would have certainly filled in. It is about money to them too.

The Obama Administration must’ve found pictures of Rush with some Asian boys.

Me thinks we have not heard the last of this from old El Rushbo. Let’s see how this plays out.

I seriously think the best thing is to drop it and move back to the serious issues this country is facing.

That IS that. When even Rush Libaugh surrenders to the PC crowd, we are truly, duly doomed as a nation.

Rush has done this before. Early in his career, he would regularly air "homeless updates" and "gay community updates," but these vanished long ago.

Rush was right, but lost this round to Saul Alinsky.

We must support our conservative warriors, warts and all. Can’t completely agree with Rush’s tactics? Then agree to disagree with him on this one and CONTINUE to stand by Rush.

See ya’ Monday, Rush. We’re all in this together and we must stand united and strong...or we will perish at the hands of socialism. Lock arms and win this war!
