Depressing because of Rush’s bowing to outside pressures.
Refreshing? I suppose, if one finds eating crow refreshing.
If you mean however, that Rush offered a real apology rather than an “if I offended anyone” type, then I suppose I could agree with that.
Did you listen?
I agreed with what he said.....In fact I could see myself saying that exact same thing, after saying what he did...in the context that he said it.
Millions of Rush listener's have said over the years...."You are just saying, what I've been thinking". Period.
I don't always agree with anyone....let alone Rush. But, I've learned more info from Rush than you. Or anyone else...for that matter.
Is he the end all, be all?...Nope. Is he perfect? Nope. Are you? Nope. Am I? Nope.
FWIW-
I've eaten crow; you probably have as well.
It is NOT tasty at all; but HAS to be consumed to get over the ailment.
It depends upon what one washes it down with, as to whether the overall effect is refreshing.
I see no IF.
A Statement from RushMarch 03, 2012For over 20 years, I have illustrated the absurd with absurdity, three hours a day, five days a week. In this instance, I chose the wrong words in my analogy of the situation. I did not mean a personal attack on Ms. Fluke. I think it is absolutely absurd that during these very serious political times, we are discussing personal sexual recreational activities before members of Congress. I personally do not agree that American citizens should pay for these social activities. What happened to personal responsibility and accountability? Where do we draw the line? If this is accepted as the norm, what will follow? Will we be debating if taxpayers should pay for new sneakers for all students that are interested in running to keep fit?In my monologue, I posited that it is not our business whatsoever to know what is going on in anyone's bedroom nor do I think it is a topic that should reach a Presidential level. My choice of words was not the best, and in the attempt to be humorous, I created a national stir. I sincerely apologize to Ms. Fluke for the insulting word choices. |
