It is assumed that liberals will always sink to the lowest common denominator. It is normal for leftists like Maher to spew such vulgar hatred. It’s what they do.
And therefore when Rush sank to their level, he got in trouble for it. Not because he was wrong, but because we conservatives are held to a higher standard than democrats.
And that is what Limbaugh apologized for. Not for calling a slut a slut, but for acting like a democrat.
I wonder if he knew on Saturday that he would still lose 20 sponsers - even after apologizing - if he still would have.
My guess is that he would have. El Rushbo has standards. He broke them. He moved on.
