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.
Boy, I wish I could take back some of the things I've said in the heat of anger. Nice to see that even El Rushbo can lose it when he's in a rage (for lack of a better word).*~*
I'm not sure if I've seen that, but will look.
Emotional cripples, that's what they are.

These cat fanatics are a shining example of logical discourse and civility.
Not.
What if he had said fellatio?
Would the world be up in arms or heading for thier dictionaries?
How about fellatio? Is that offensive? Or just the concept of fellatio, is that offensive?
LOL! Ya got that right!
You are my new FR hero for posting that thread.
Some so-called 'conservatives' on that thread sound like a bunch of hand-wringing, PMSing, liberal women!

(ouch!!!)
Every time you domesticate, another kitten dies.
Or something like that...
I'm not feeling too damned diplomatic today.
Terribly sorry, old chap.
:)
I'm offended by the word Fellatio. Fellatio is a very offensive word. I am also offended by the action of Fellatio. The concept of fellatio has offended me. I'm offended.
Well, thanks for your candid response. I will not tease.
(Denny Crane: "Sometimes you can only look for answers from God and failing that... and Fox News".)
Rush likes to hold himself to a higher standard.
Thanks.
It's not just a job, it's an aventure...
***He was ripping Clinton and Clinton's bad influence on the youth when it slipped out.***
Slipped out? =P
It didn't phase me a bit. I lived through X42.
