yes, i noticed that, but hasn’t Rush said incendiary things before, why apologize now for this one? is there something different about the word slut that merited an apology? i am just asking, bc i haven’t followed the controversy in any depth, and i am curious.
Well, to a “gentleman” the word is very rude and supremely insulting to a woman. Although Rush has said many “incendiary” things before, I believe that deep down this may have offended his own sensibilities, as he is, at the core, “Old School”.
I don’t use the word at all, and used to cringe when I heard it even on SNL’s “Point/Counterpoint” (Jane, you ignorant slut). However, the words that Maher used are EVEN WORSE and he has never apologized. It’s a profound double standard.
JMO.
