It’s amazing to me how many have missed the brilliance of what Rush did here.
Had he not said anything, the narrative would have been “Rush called her a slut.” End of story. A distortion, but Rush would have lost in the court of public opinion.
As it is, he retracts NOTHING but that word “slut.” And in his apology, which will be read by possibly millions of females who would never tune into his show, he gets to reiterate his brilliant points once more, and again devastates the arguments of Nancy Pelosi and the feministas.
Read the apology again. it is basically a synopsis of everything he said in his show, which was AWESOME.
It is a master stroke of genius, which has eluded those who aren’t nearly as smart as El Rushbo.
DON’T doubt him. ;-)
I want to agree with you, I really do.
But, no one except those of us Rush (former) fans are going to read his apology. No one is going to parse his words except us, looking for the up-side, and his and our enemies, looking for and gleefully finding his weakness.
They find the weakness, and they exploit it. Rush loses, we lose, and the country we love loses.
The only part of this abject, humiliating apology you will EVER hear again on the MSM is the ass-kissing, tea-bagging part.
Rush today lost untold numbers of long-time listeners, true believers, and loyal conservatives. There is no brilliance, there is no up-side. Churchill said never, never, never give up. Today, so that his check did not drop 5%, Rush gave up.
Go ahead, find the “brilliance”.
I agree. He did the right thing. He outfoxed and outmaneuvered the leftists that were counting on getting rid of Rush and trying to destroy him.
And all of the whiners here that are now turning on Rush were not fans or supporters of him in the first place. They couldn’t be if they could or would turn on him so easily and so quickly. Ergo, no big loss!
Rush will go on and be stronger than ever now. And God help us if we ever have to depend on some of the gutless wonders we have posting at FR these days. It is reminiscent of the days right before the 2006 election. You know...the one where we lost the farm....literally...to the SocialCrats.
