Boehner calls Limbaugh remarks "inappropriate"
msnbc.com ^ | March 2, 2012 | Frank Thorp, Luke Russert and Michael O'Brien

Posted on 03/02/2012 9:31:17 AM PST by John W

House Speaker John Boehner distanced himself on Friday from Rush Limbaugh, calling the conservative radio host's words toward a women's rights advocate "inappropriate."

Amid a growing media firestorm over comments Wednesday by Limbaugh toward Sandra Fluke, a Georgetown Law student who testified before a Democratic panel on the use of contraception, Washington's top Republicans said through a spokesman that Limbaugh was wrong.

"The speaker obviously believes the use of those words was inappropriate, as is trying to raise money off the situation," Boehner spokesman Michael Steel said in a statement.

Local radio station WNIS 790 AM, Norfolk VA, just distanced themselves from anything Rush is and has said. Probably because of the Georgetown issue. Never heard them do that before.

Demanding that others pay for your chosen behaviors is also inappropriate.

Does that speaker have an opinion on Anderson Cooper’s labelling of tea partiers as “teabaggers”??

How about the vice president’s use of the word “terrorists” against american citizens who consider themselves tea party?

I find Boners lack of leadership "inappropriate". Which is more dangerous for the country? Rush's remarks calling out a Left wing trick or Boner being a crying loser as House Speaker.

While I certainly agree with Rush on this issue I must say that he either needs to get back on the “Obama is an economic disaster” track and off the social issues or stop critizing the MSM for causing us to lose focus.

IMHO, Rush is a major contributer to that loss of focus on economic issues. He is spending way, way too much time on the social issue themes that only help Obama. It’s amazing to me that Rush would fall into such an obvious trap - and one that he clearly recognizes. It’s time to stop digging. The hole is deep enough already.

Boehner spokesman Michael Steel said in a statement.

Oh Jeez ( same name ) Not this ***t again....

Again it is time for us to start anew...

I got to see a picture of a Shelby Cobra flattened by a Crain Boom. Dummies Restored it, it should have been scrapped, some things in life are not worth fixing.

Ergo the GOP

Promisicuous is too polite for the slut. She & her friends sound like bitches in heat shoving their tails into any man’s face that is available. It is beyond disgusting. They are an utter disgrace.

Completely appalling.

Bonehead is a weak fool. He has made he House totally ineffective in stopping the communists black Muslim from establishing a dictatorship. King Obama will win 4 more years to finish the job. King Obama is now working on the rat States to invoke his agenda. Only Newt Gingrich could stop him.
