Rush made what amounted to an offhand comment about Fluke near the end of his show on Wednesday, To Paraphrase "Ms. Fluke wants you to pay for her to have sex. So what to you call someone like wants to be paid to have sex? A slut? A prostitute?
That was it. At this point he had left himself enough wiggle room so if the SHTF, he would have an out by saying he didn't call Ms. Fluke a slut and a prostitute. He said that someone who wants to be paid for sex is a slut or a prostitute.
Well predictably the left tries to make a big deal over it. So what does Rush do? He gets back on the air Thursday and doubles down on everything he said the day before, leaving no doubt this time he thinks she is a slut and prostitute. Plus he takes if farther by adding comments about her spending so much time on her back, and being so sore she could barely walk to get to the hearing.
Which brings us to the big question? Why instead of trying to get out when he first slipped into the stew-pot, did Rush decide to swim a few laps instead? He's been through things like this before, he knew what was going to happen? Then strangest of all, after going all in and doubling down on what he said Wednesday on both Thursday and Friday. Rush folds like hotel sheet on Saturday afternoon.
The left was already distorting this issue to make it about “access to contraception” rather than what it is about: government coercion and religious freedom. What Rush did is allow the Left to add in another layer of confusion to cloud the issue even further. Dumb move by Rush.
