Please.

If RUSH’s motives were so pure, he would have apologized after the first commercial break of making those comments.

The only reason he apologized is because he began bleeding sponsors. It was purely damage control.

It’s insulting to his audience to claim otherwise.

His initial point was correct - what do you call someone who wants to get paid to have sex?

I’m not sure what’s wring with making that point - other than the leftist hypocrisy.

Sticking to your convictions and standing up for the first amendment is what we are desperately missing from our elected officials...and now apparently from our conservative media.

Maybe Savage is right.

Sounds like you didn't read his monolog in the first segment of his show. There was no "damage" control. You, just like the MSM have it totally wrong as to why he apologized. Go read his monolog if you haven't or are you calling him a LIAR? Rush doesn't need any of those sponsors as he has others just chomping at the bit to advertise with him.

It doesn't matter WHAT Ms. Fluke seems to be, Rush used a very derogatory term, he knows it. He did the exact right thing to uphold his standards by apologizing to Ms. Fluke. You're right about one thing, it has EVERYTHING to do with FOS. You have the right to say anything you want, but Rush and all of us have a "responsibility" for what we say to one another and even to the other side. The only insulting claim Rush made was toward Ms. Fluke.

I am so glad he's not like these leftist dregs and irresponsible debased pigs like Maher.

Maybe Savage is wrong!

RUSH should have known better.

He should have triple-downed on his critique.

He still would have lost his advertisers. He still would have been battered by the MSM. And he still wouldn’t have his apology accepted. But he would at least have his pride and convictions.

Pathetic

I listened to Rush today and formed the complete opposite opinion, especially after mentioning that GE is wanting on his show badly. Also it appears that Clear Channel is ardently behind him.

In my opinion Rush made a bad error. Well he’s human. Ye gads we’re all human and we all FLUKE UP from time to time. The bigger person is the one who admits it,offer apologies, and moves on. Rush did just that in my opinion; I won’t attempt to change yours.
