Bare in mind, his "word choices" weren't just a slip of the tongue and off the cuff. He said them first on Wednesday and the repeated them on Thursday and Friday well after the controversy had started. Since we can assume Rush is not stupid considering how long he's been on the air and how he's handled situations like this is the past. We must assume he wanted the controversy to expand (until today) and grow by doubling down on his original comments. So the million dollar question is why??
I think I know. Up till this controversy started, the Republican party and Presidential candidates were mired in the media created this contraceptive controversy. So Rush comes out and says what he says. Well now the media is no longer talking about Santorum, they are no longer ripping the Republicans in Congress. They are now all focused on a radio talk show host, who is not running for office. It also gives candidates like Santorum the ability to look down right mainstream when compared to Rush. So Rush is essentially playing "bad cop" and taking the fire so the Republican party can play "good cop".
hmmmm.....interesting.
They’re drawn to him like moths to a flame.
I’m with you. I’ll at least wait until Monday to see how this will work out.
Rush has something up his sleeve.
