I’m sure I’ll face much the same pile-on here as you have, but I agree. It wasn’t appropriate language for a public radio broadcast.
I don’t think Rush is an idiot, though. I think he made his statements as a calculated effort to stir the pot and get people talking. I like his show, and agree with much of what he has to say. But I also know Limbaugh is first and foremost an entertainer, and there’s no such thing as bad press.
I will now await the inevitable tsunami of flame posts coming my way. :-)
You have nailed it!
