    Well, of course she is. She's been fighting her college for some time on the issue and making a big fuss. This was just Pelosi using her....and her willingly being used.

    Not bad for a search of over 11,000 posts in less than five minutes. And you have the temerity to make claims about me.

    What is laughable is your weak attempts to support the unsupportable. Why don't you have a rethink of your support for this person and come to a reasonable conclusion that he made a mistake (and I won't even write 'another mistake' in the sentence.)

    limbo doesn't do comedy. He does mean-spirited ridicule. Only idiot right-wingers think it's funny.

    It's a non-apology apology, all the activist slut deserves.

    He hasn't done it on the air and it's like a Friday WH bad news dump. Well done, Rush.

    First off, I don't know about others, but I didn't defend his use of that word. I did not hear the commentary, so I was never sure how it was said or what the context was. But I would never condone calling someone a name like that in public.

    Secondly, if you believed we needed to apologize for him.....then you must also believe the left should have apologized for Maher, Letterman, Gov. Brown, and all the other liberals who called conservative women names?

    I would just be satisfied if the ones who do it would apologize for themselves. Don't you think that's generally a good idea; to apologize?

    I have already stated my point about both the Palin comments (although SHE at least was a public figure and Maher apologize the next day. . .instead of reitereting his insults and making them worse like Limbutt did), and also about the little baby boy. . .

    I stated that ANY disparaging comments about any child is wrong (including the disparaging comments about the need to "kill Obama's monkey children."

    I also stated that Palin was guilty of using this little child as a PROP for her campaign. . . and that it was even more unconscionable because this baby has down's syndrome, which makes him a lot more fragile and susceptible to germs.

    As a social worker who spend 7 years as a case manager for an average of 85 people with developmental disabilities, including Down's syndrom, it is obvious that the best Palin could have done for that child was, if not take care of him in her own home, at least allow the child to be taken care off in a safe, stable, structured environment, instead of exposing him for her own political gain to the chaos of the political campaign, passing him from arms to arms, and subjecting him to bright light, loud noises, and the infinite amount of germs that surrounds any large crowd.

    And, I perfectly understand that YOU were talking about the "liberal" hypocrisy, just as I am talking about the "Conservative" hypocrisy.

    I wish I could believe your post was a brilliant attempt at satire JP.

    Rush is an opportunist who makes his living pandering to a certain slice of the American pie. His halfhearted, self-serving apology is nothing more than an attempt to mollify his sponsors.

    I think his supporters should ask themselves this question; If Rush was incapable of recognizing that calling a woman a slut on the air was crossing the line BEFORE he did it, what else is this guy missing?

    Rush is the far right's version of Howard Stern. He is a shock jock, and a poor one at that.

    No, I don't agree. One cannot beat them by becomming just like them. Rush is a better man and he's just proven it once again.

    You and others are more concern about him slipping a few words than the actual issue of contraception at hand...

    This is your way as usual to distract from true issues, you pick on some dude on a radio channel who slipped a few words.

    Only people who defended or supported (and especially those who went even further in their insults. . .should I name them?) have any reason to apologize for either Rush or Maher.

    I wasn't one of them, but I certainly remember you trying very hard to defend this poor excuse for a man!

    Shall I look for a few posts?

    Well no (*)(*)(*)(*), Sherlock.
    He panders to his fellow guttersnipes, who fervently defend his indefensible antics until they get caught with their pants or skirts down again, then they grumble intransigently for a while until they move on to the next round of embarrassing themselves.

    This is not about birth control. The issue is trying to force a private organization to go against the tenets of their religion. Read my signature line and you'll see how absurd that is.

    I suggest Speaker of the House Bohner caved-in to Dems and called Fatbo to waddle his Fatazz back on the air and apologize ... it is an election year ... not to mention a general election year ...

    I really don't think Rush should have apologized, but he probably did it to soften the left's hypocritical excuse to pound on Republicans. Obviously, this Fluke is a slut or at least an attention whore, but it was a poor choice of words that Rush used.

    It's too bad that the advertisers will be less successful from not benefitting being on Rush's show.

    No, you people are the ones who are more concerned with flogging irrelevant social issues rather than talking about topics that matter to the average voter.
    Of course, with Obama managing to improve the economy and succeeding on security issues, you people have nothing left but flogging flamebait issues.

    Sad joke ... the only people that begat thoughts of sexual connotations as immorality ... while committing them ... are right-wing christian fanatics & televangelists ... almost all, all old white men ...

    It is funny when he has to trot out a mealy-mouthed excuse after getting his ass handed to him by Obama and the vast majority of the country.

    Love it.

    Even though it was a poor choice of words, he should not have apologized.

    Let's think about that a bit. You acknowledge his error, but due to partisanship you think that he should not apologize for his error.

    That's what they say; I don't happen to think either is funny. Maher always has that snarly look on his face like he didn't have any friends as a kid or something. A very unhappy guy, I'd say.

    Rush is in the entertainment business. He has said that many times on his program......AND it's about politics and issues of the day. If his program wasn't entertaining, he wouldn't have made it this long.....I believe 23+ years.

    Did the left EVER call for the comments about Palin, her baby, or her daughter to stop...and for apologies to be issued? I'm pretty sure I know the answer to that since I was here during all that. And unlike, Rush, those guys have never felt the need to apologize for their nastiness towards those women. So, what's the difference? Conservative women: fair game? but liberal women: not so much??

    Nothing stupid about what he said. Just non-PC. Fluke is a stupid slut. She goes to a catholic school and then demands the school give her free birth control.!!! Like going to a kosher restaurant and demanding free bacon.
