Rush Limbaugh apologizes for language, sticks by Fluke argument

Tags: conservatives contraception gop rush rush limbaugh rush limbaugh apology sandra fluke

  • good! A couple hours ago, Rush Limbaugh apologized to Sandra Fluke for calling her a “slut” and a “prostitute” for speaking about contraception funding to Congress: “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.”
  • however The apology didn’t avoid tough words, though including a series of lines attacking the thrust of what Fluke said in front of Congress: “I think it is absolutely absurd that during these very serious political times, we are discussing personal sexual recreational activities before members of Congress.” Is his apology good enough? source

  5. questionall said: Hell No!! It’s actually worse than no apology at all. In essence he’s saying, “Okay, so I used the wrong words but I’m still right.” He’s just a disingenuous, fear-mongering, misogynistic, pig. And I really wish he would lose the ability to speak
