Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said tonight that Rush Limbaugh is losing credibility and called the nation’s most popular talk radio host’s comments about a law school student “embarrassing for our country.”

The Democratic majority leader, in an interview with MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell, said “mainstream Republicans don’t accept all this crazy stuff taking place.”

“What we need are the Republicans to get back to where they were,” Reid said on the liberal show. “We don’t have Republican leaders who can lead them down the path to bring about real change in the country.”

Limbaugh last week called Georgetown Law School student Sandra Fluke a “slut” and a “prostitute” over three days of his radio show. She had testified in front of Congress regarding access to contraception.

After the comments blew up into a controversy and some sponsors dropped his show, Limbaugh issued an apology on Saturday and addressed the issue on his radio show on Monday

Posted on February 26, 2010

ED SCHULTZ (01:59): I just want all of you to know that I get my entertainment through NewsBusters. (laughs, then in mincing voice)

How dare [we] Democrats make fun of Dick Cheney’s heart problems and turn it into a political football. (back to normal voice, to the extent possible) I can just hear some little weasel who’s writing that at NewsBusters. You’re my entertainment.

Bozell, Bozell and his bozo crew. You’re damn right, Dick Cheney’s heart’s a political football. We ought to rip it out and kick it around and stuff it back in him. I’m glad he didn’t tip over. He is the new poster child for health care in this country.

From NewsBusters.org, June 9, 2009...

Seven months after Election Day, and the attacks on Sarah Palin keep coming.

On Monday, CBS's David Letterman on the "Late Show" shamelessly went after the Alaska governor and her family during his opening monologue, as well as in his "Top Ten" list.

Top Ten Highlights Of Sarah Palin's Trip To New York

10. Visited New York landmarks she normally only sees from Alaska

9. Laughed at all the crazy-looking foreigners entering the U.N.

8. Made moose jerky on Rachael Ray

7. Keyed Tina Fey's car

6. After a wink and a nod, ended up with a kilo of crack

5. Made coat out of New York City rat pelts

4. Sat in for Kelly Ripa. Regis couldn't tell the difference.

3. Finally met one of those Jewish people Mel Gibson's always talking about

2. Bought makeup from Bloomingdale's to update her "slutty flight attendant" look

1. Especially enjoyed not appearing on Letterman

"One awkward moment for Sarah Palin at the Yankee game, during the seventh inning, her daughter was knocked-up by Alex Rodriguez."

Sandra Bernhard issues 'gang rape' warning to Sarah Palin

DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER
September 19th 2008

Sandra Bernhard issued a blistering warning to Sarah Palin during a performance of her new one-woman show.

The Republican V.P. nom would be "gang-raped by my big black brothers" if she enters Manhattan, Bernhard said. Palin is said to be making a campaign stop in New York next week.

"[The gang rape comment] is part of a much larger, nuanced, and yes, provocative (that's what I do) piece from my show about racism, freedom, women's rights and the extreme views of Governor Sarah Palin, a woman who doesn't believe that other women should have the right to choose," Bernhard told the Daily News today.

Sorry. Kind of screw up my comment but maybe folks will get the jest of it.

[Antoninus]

No, the joke is the young woman who testified that she wants others to pay so she can have recreational sex for free and there are actually politicians that support her.

[editor-surveyor]

Is that a pic of Brittany Spears? :o)

[Titus-Maximus]

“He is a light-skinned man who doesn’t have to speak in a Negro dialect if he doesn’t want to” Harry “Adolph” Reid talking about Barack Obama.

Hey Harry, thank heaven he is light skinned or else you would have never voted for him. You racist!

The hypocrisy is staggering.

[q_an_a]

the answer is that ONLY Andrew Breitbart made an issue of this loud enough for people to hear. Mona Charon, George Will, Fox sunday none of those people called for a boycott of advertisers of any of the nasty TV or radio comments made about Ann Coulter, Sarah, as well as dozens of good conservative women. We don’t have a very good megaphone or follow through system.

[Jukeman]

Liberals(progressives) are so damned despicable,contemptible, abominable, and lowlifes. It must be a genetic mutation.

[bossmechanic]

Hey Harry...
Telling the truth isn’t embarrassing.
Apologizing to Christian killers is embarrassing...
go talk to your puppetmaster Obumo - ya scum.

[Mouton]

I’d go one farther, he is an embarrassment to the human race.

[Kickass Conservative]

Where is a GOP Senator with the guts to roll a TV ans Video Player to the well of the Senate and play clips of all the Liberal misogyny toward Republican Women and the personal attacks on Rush.

Some examples, Wanda Sykes in front of Obama wishing Rush Kidney failure or all the vitriol that came out when they thought Rush had a Heart Attack while he was in Hawaii.

Here’s some really embarrassing things about Harry Reid taking money from pimp Joe Conforte. For real. http://www.futurnamics.com/reid.php

No, but this is...

[crusader71]

Oh my. Sandra Bernard is beyond ugly. Seriously was she a man? That thing is just heinous.

[mom.mom]

So the Flukster is having so much sex that she can’t afford it. That means that taxpayers, especially devout Catholics, should pay for her birth control.

If you have any problem with that or criticize her behavior in any way, than you are “embarrassing to our country.”

Oppression by the stupid.

[ETL]

Sandra Bernard is beyond ugly. Seriously, was she a man? That thing is just heinous.

And to think she was prepared and posing for that pic. Imagine, if you dare, if they had caught her off guard.

[silverleaf]

Oh but Harry, we still have Hillary Rodham and her handmaiden Huma Weiner to keep up our image abroad

[SERE_DOC]

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid...

Is an embarrassment to our species....

If some one can verify that he is in fact a carbon based unit (CBU), instead of a feces based unit (Like most in WDC)

And most CBU's hate feces to pieces.

Just sayin

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Fluke Harry.
