Am I late?!?
Well, the good thing is, the next time there’s an important issue to conservatives, we can rely on Rush to come out and....um.. apologize
For a man who claims to know liberals like “every square inch of [his] glorious naked body” he sure blew it here. Good grief, my skin crawled when I read his apology (read: cave).
I was just speaking with a friend at work about how great Rush’s take on this slut was. I was eagerly anticipating Mondays show. Not any more. I don’t think i have the stomach to listen to Rush try and tap dance his way around his CAVE!
He apologized for the word choices, but did not say that she was NOT a “slut.” He gave a dem apology ie “I’m sorry if I offended Ms. Fluke.” He’s sorry he didn’t use a better word, like maybe Ms. Twobit.
Limbaugh is a SLUT for money.
Am I late?!?
He did the right thing.
It takes guts and maturity to issue a public apology when one has crossed a line, which he did by using a term that is extremely offensive to any woman.
Rush went up in my estimation with this statement.
“discussing personal sexual recreational activities before members of Congress...”
Good - apology with a point
Rush took the Dem’s bait and paid for it.
It was open line Friday. He should have let the listeners talk about Sheriff Joe and possible WH involvement in Breitbart death.
When I first heard of the apology I was disappointed. Then I read his statement and was relieved. The Left was using not the substance, but the semantics to rope-in sympathy for their position. He did nothing more than retract a couple of poorly chosen and over-the-top words. He used the apology/statement as a platform to expose the argument to many who don’t listen to his show; they might discover that they agree with him. Unfortunately, tv media outlets (whether out of bias or the need for brevity) may in most cases only report that he apologized and not read the whole statement.
Rush said something like, “she is asking to be paid to have sex...then, what does that make her?” and he should have left it there, to our imagination - done. Absurdity demonstated. If anything, he needed to apologize to himself for going that extra bit further and giving the opposition the ammo with which to blow this whole thing up.
