“It is not a vulgar word we can’t say in mixed company. We are not provincial.”
I am certainly NOT *provincial* as the liberals might be tempted to peg me. How old are you anyway? I would consider that to be a vulgar word and would not want it used in front of my family.
Depressing?
Poor baby!
It was REFRESHING!!
“He didn’t have to call her any names at all. He could have made his point very well without doing that.
Exactly! And he could easily make the points without even referring to her. We must learn to out-think the liberals and use a TON of self-control.
We KNOW that liberals are not really too fond of the virtue of self-control.
;-o
What planet did you get the relay from?
He was VERY bold!!
What you mistook for lack of it, was a CONTROLed statement. One that had been gone over to be sure it contained only CORRECT words.
To condense it: "I am sorry for using the INAPPROPRIATE words."
ERGO; there ARE some 'words' out there that are less 'provocative', but express EXACTLY the same meaning.
No boldness?
I am sorry I descended to THEIR level?
That's a smack in the face if I've ever heard one!
Amen!
No boldness?
I am sorry if some advertisers do NOT want 'your' business. I can get more; as I REJECT some very big accounts all the time!
And, in a few years, she will be as venerated as Cindy Sheehan is today.
Can you imagine a scenario whenin you might just call some woman a SLUT?
Can you imagine a scenario wherein you might just call some woman a SLUT?
In all this kerfuffle, what I still can’t understand is this: How does a third-year law student find the time to have any kind of social life, let alone one as promiscuous as she claims?
Unless, of course, she’s on “the Obama plan” :D
Sorry.
I should have read your ENTIRE post, before jumping on the first sentence.
Which is why I said that his mistake was in making it personal and in his apology, he should have addressed it in that way.
He says that his riff about her was brought on by a satirical observation by someone else regarding the amount of sex one must be having if contraception costs are #3,000 over the course of three years.
Rush likes to push the envelope and go where so many conservatives are afraid to go. And, I think he has thought that he could get away with just about anything in exposing the left’s agenda.
I don’t fault him for realizing that he went too far in attacking this woman personally, but the impression is out there now and nothing he says will dispel it....he was intimidated into an apology and thus not so fearlessly bold as he has seemed up til now.
There were two comments though that stunned me even more than a misogynist calling sexually active women sluts

Tell Lurker
Depressing because of Rush’s bowing to outside pressures.
Refreshing? I suppose, if one finds eating crow refreshing.
If you mean however, that Rush offered a real apology rather than an “if I offended anyone” type, then I suppose I could agree with that.
"If yer catchin' flak' you must be over the target."
Self-control is a virtue that we ALL need. Often, those who need it the most refuse to listen.
And this is EXACTLY what he said today.
If that's your perception and it bothers you so much, the easiest solution to your problem is to change the radio dial and avoid these Rush threads.
Most of the folks here are Rush fans and are concerned about the liberal assaults on him and the rest of talk radio. And as such, we like to keep our conversations pro Rush.
By stopping by and dropping your turd, you've added nothing to the conversation.
Tell you what my friend, why don't you and a number of your like minded friends start your own "anti-Rush" threads where you can discuss your various hatreds of the guy while at the same time leaving the rest of us alone?
I can promise you, we will respect the nature of YOUR THREAD and leave you alone...........Fair enough?
