Yes. Big-time. Fluke never mentioned her own sex life. Never said she was on contraceptives or that she had ever taken contraceptives.
Fluke gave the stories of six other specific women.
Then Rush said that Fluke - Fluke - was a slut and a prostitute. Rush said that Fluke said she was getting so much sex she couldn't pay for it. Rush questioned how proud Fluke's parents were about all of her recreational sex.
All of that sex that Fluke never mentioned a single time.
Rush counted the number of condoms that Fluke needed for the amount she said she spent on contraception . . . but Fluke said how much one woman (not Fluke) who was taking birth control pills for a medical condition paid for them.
So . . . while conservatives had the high moral ground on the issue of Obamacare forcing religious healthcare plans to provide care than ran against religious principles (like contraception), we lost it because of Rush. He had to apologize. People on FR are calling Fluke a slut, saying she's round-heeled.
Rush could have attacked all of the BS in Fluke's testimony. Instead, he apologized and whenever the issue of Obamacare and contraception comes up, what will be remembered is Limbaugh erroneously calling Sandra Fluke a slut and then apologizing. Not that Georgetown shouldn't have to pay for contraceptives against Roman Catholic religious principles.
You said 'Rush screwed the pooch." Yep.
Dittos
Except everyone is going to be listening to his show to see what he says about it now.
He might even admit he was wrong about Ms. Fluke being a slut, and state that what Ms. Fluke really said is that all her friends at Georgetown are sluts, broke, and likely to get pregnant.
That is what she said, is it not?
