The only thing that surprises me is that Rush ever thought an apology would change anything.
Now he has the worst of both worlds. Looking like a sap for backing down and apologizing along with losing advertisers. He was way better off before he threw in the towel and apologized for stating a fact. JMHO
Dems and the MSM set the usual trap and the Republicans run
right into it again!
It was not totally clear that the (self appointed?) spokeswoman Fluke was living like an alley cat. She might be if she’s on the Pill all the time, but my guess is that in order to be let into the limelight she has no documented personal sex scandal and is doing it just in case “Mr. Right” comes along and they can’t wait. (That would be a lousy boyfriend by any sane light.) And the Pill isn’t that horribly expensive. A few years ago at least, $40 would have sufficed to get a year’s worth in 90 day batches from Wal-Mart, plus whatever she paid the doctor to write the Rx (which might be minimal if this is a campus medical service). So is she personally a “slut” in the original sense — that might be a premature conclusion.
He should have apologized only for imprecise choice of words. She’s not a whore, she’s a common thief. When you pay a whore, you at least get sex. This THIEF is stealing our money to finance her own casual sex.
It was ok for him to apologize. The problem was not the apology. It's that the advertisers have been intimidated by leftwing agitators.
