I assume he was apologizing for using certain words (slut, etc.) against an individual. ...Don’t know enough about libel/slander and whether his use of these words could be considered suitworthy.

Yes, I think he meant to say "nappy headed ho".

I think the twisting of the student’s words is actionable. Rush said she “testified” to Congress that she “had SO much sex” that she was going broke, had to spend $3,000/year or maybe over the 3 years. He heavily implied she was promiscuous and even called her a prostitute. In reality she may be taking the pills to regulate her periods, and may not even be having sexual relations. He just went nuts on this and I sat in stunned disbelief. So yes, it is actionable, or at least colorable so that he cannot have it easily dismissed on a motion for summary judgment. This allows for Discovery, and this may prove embarrassing for her, but as a died-in-the-wool activist, she may not mind. But it could open up all of Rush’s assets for discovery plus full disclosure of any complaints against him in the past etc. And it is not a slam dunk that she would be proven a “public figure”. She was a subpeonaed witness before Congress. Another test is was Rush malicious? Well, he demanded that her sexual escapades be live-streamed on line. I mean!? Crazy. Snerdly needs to buy a shock collar.

Basically Limbaugh dug a hole. Instead of filling it in he dug a littel bit more. Its a screw up,he remains mortal.
