A group of Democratic members of Congress are continuing the political war over contraception and the latest move puts House Speaker John Boehner on the spot. Seventy-five lawmakers are urging the speaker to "repudiate" comments made by conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh.
The Democrats signed a letter to the speaker over comments Limbaugh made on his show on Wednesday calling a Georgetown University law student and women's health advocate a "prostitute" and a "slut" after her testimony before a mock Congressional hearing on birth control coverage.
Using the airwaves to launch a "direct attack on a private citizen is unacceptable," New York Rep. Louise Slaughter wrote to Speaker Boehner. "Mr. Limbaugh repeatedly used sexually charged, patently offensive, and obscene language to malign the character of this courageous young woman who has chosen to be the voice for many of her peers," the letter said.
Boehner's spokesperson declined to comment on on the letter.

I'm betting Boehnead does it.
Yup. He’s to stupid to do anything else.
Democrats use the airwaves to impugn private ctzns all the time, re: Joe the plumber.
What is there to repudiate?
This “child” is an ignorant slut.
If Georgetown has lowered their “standards” enough to admit this idiot-ess, that’s their problem, not Rush’s.
Boehner should dig out some noxious quotes from Bill Maher - ones the feminists and homos particularly like - or better yet, Al Franken, and ask the democrats to repudiate those.
Maybe Boehner can also throw in a few good words on the attempted murder of Rush and his new wife. /sarc
The GOP may, because the perception is that all Republicans want to ban birth control. A lot of women also don’t like seeing a slut called a slut.
From a pragmatic level, I can see why this could hurt the GOP. For a moral stand point, sometimes mockery is the best thing to do. We used to call it “shame”.
I hope he does...its worth it to keep this one out in front in the media.
there’s a lot wrong with government...and this issue encapsulates it all in a very simple fashion; the Pubbies should keep kicking it on down the street for another week or so...
Since when are libals the “moral crowd”?
Rush spoke the truth which is something the liberals don’t know how to do. I’m sick and d@mn tired of these jerks wanting apologies. Let them apologize for putting a Kenyan muslim in the WH thru fraud and deceit.

Of course he will.

Gee I thought the MSM never heard of Limbaugh?
Perhaps Rush should suspend himself?
Next comes pressure on the advertisers, then the fairness doctrine comes back, then SNL snit fits, an HBO attack movie.
All because one group wants another to pay for its ‘right to pleasure’.
Find 50 outrageous things said by loony lefties (should take about 10 minutes) and demand Obama repudiate every one.
Repudiate this Barry:

You know what would be awesome?
If Boehner were to call Rush Limbaugh before Congress to speak his mind in the same way Pelosi called that slut.
Let Rush Limbaugh address before the House and Senate all the dip-wad liberals who want to repudiate him.
Cover it live on TV. Let ABCNBCPMSNBC devote hours worth of news coverage to it.
Now THAT would kick (bleep)!
There will be a reckoning one day.
