Rush Limbaugh, in a fit of “unbridled passion,” used his self-described “pouty lips” to utter the words “blow jobs” on his April 12 show. The incident occurred during a diatribe about former Vice President Al Gore’s new cable TV network. Limbaugh was responding to a statement made by Gore that his new venture would "reflect the point of view of young people."
"What the hell is that, Al?" Limbaugh asked. "What the hell is the point of view of young people? Blow jobs, that's what they're doing out there. They're out there getting oral sex all day long, that's what they're talking about."
Limbaugh went on to blame former President Bill Clinton for making oral sex "the number one sport in high school today. " He also referred to Gore's venture as "a BJ network" and "the oral sex channel."
Later in his show Limbaugh apologized, sort of. "I am going to apologize not for saying what I said, but I'm going to apologize if it offended anybody," he said. "I never apologize for what I say, but if some of you were offended by a graphic term involving actions committed by Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky, that have now spread to America’s high schools, I apologize."
"I meant to say 'oral sex' throughout," he went on to say, "but the guttural term escaped my pouty lips in a moment of pure, unbridled passion. The staff was so stunned and so scared today they didn't dare hit the delete button, the deedle button, and so it got out there. My reaction is, somebody go ahead and turn me into the FCC. I'll be honored to be fined. It's just another government agency with its hand in my back pocket, so go right ahead."
A spokeswoman at Premiere Radio Networks, which syndicates Limbaugh's show, confirmed a transcript of Limbaugh's outburst but declined to make any other comments.
Meanwhile, the cause of all this goes on and on like an elder statesman. (S.O.B.!)
Poor Rushbo....he was so mad....I'm surprised he didn't let out more words.....
ol' hoghead
Putting a 'pretty face on it'. ..has only facilitated the 'crass reality'. . .that these young kids now share. . .
"The "blow" doesn't bother me the "job" does"
It shouldn't be thought of as work anyway.
Scarlett, a shade in the mind of the beholder. Monica has determinedly struggled to make her famous name. . .work.
. . .LOL . . .
I'll tell you what this culture is coming to. I was listening to the show, sitting in my car eating my lunch, when Rush said that, and I didn't even flinch when he said it. In fact, it didn't even occur to me that he'd committed a no-no until after the break when he came back and sorta-kinda apologized for it.
Or a golf ball through 100 feet of garden hose
I agree, sucking would have been better.
If this guy is 46 years old then that means he would have been 14 in 1971...
yeh...14 YO, a gay lover and a college student, too. Like, this dude can do it all. ; )
I think I'll read some of your novel tomorrow.
I need not, I never claimed to have pouty lips or talent on loan from God.
roflmao.... Rush is too much fun.
He's #1 because he's entertaining and informative.
That might be something you want to ask the Liberals
They helped make it a house hold name
He was ripping Clinton and Clinton's bad influence on the youth when it slipped out.
What is wrong with the truth? This is the problem with this country today. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE TRUTH?
