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.
A new two year contract extension?
he must be gay - the internet says he is...
What's the big deal ...
after all it's not a "sex."
/sarc.
**well, at least he and Shep Smith will have something to chat about.**
I remember hearing that on FOX. He was talking about Jennifer Lopez having a block party and it came out b. j.
I was more offended by his emotion based rant against allowing property owners to shoot feral cats. It was rather pathetic, but typical for cat fanatics.
I agree. From now on, it's Lewinskies only for me!
Laurie (Lips Sweeter Than the Morning) Dhue, maybe :)
It was an apology, but it wasn't. LOL
I don't particularly care. After Clinton I'm immune. Rush was on Fire and nailed everyone as they deserved yesterday.
So what if Rush said blow job. It's been around for a long time and mostly the young are into it.
But it's really stupid. Somehow we've decided that slang that describes something, often more accurately, than other words is wrong.
It's just words. "Making love" is acceptable today but scandolous a century ago. The best we could do was "knowing a woman".
LOL
Yes, but look how much attention he drew to the legacy of the impeached ex-president and his Wormwood sidekick.
His apology is a trap for the Left. They can't condemn him for uttering the term that described the action of the president they defended, for the action is far more graphic than the term itself.
I think this entire situation is hilarious. I thought after he got married a lot of the fire had been doused. Lately, since the breakup, that fire seems to be back.
I listened to his program a few weeks ago and I think he said something about Clinton getting a "Lewinski".
Yea, him and Bill Clinton and Newt.
Think Rush is answering the question that has been asked. . .and answered; by the realilty of the very behaviors he is referencing.
Crass, yes. . .but that is the realilty. . .and to throw it out there or 'back 'where it come from'. . to make the truth 'hurt'. . .with honest anger and disgust. . .think crass, is the only way to go.
Imagine, if Repubs would be as forthright and as honestly angry. . ..
Sadly, since Bill Clinton. . .the 'no sex' experimenting has begun even earlier in many communities/schools.
. . .fire. .. with fire. . .makes for 'crass observations'. . .but it is the truth of the matter.
How bout' Huffer or Hummer??
I thought so too. I kept thinking that if this is what it takes, we should figure out how to have more people try to get their hands into Rush's back pocket (as he was upset about). I haven't heard him so passionate and fired up in years. He was still a little riled up today. Hope it lasts.
"Good story. Only thing is: If this guy is 46 years old then that means he would have been 14 in 1971. Soo...Are we to believe that not only is Rush Gay but that he's also a pedophile?? "

If you're offended, blame Bill Clinton, not Rush Limbaugh.
