Limbaugh apologizes to Sandra Fluke

Conservative radio commentator Rush Limbaugh has issued a statement apologizing for "insulting word choices" directed at a Georgetown University law student who testified to Congress in support of an Obama administration birth control rule.

The remark, in which Limbaugh called Sandra Fluke a "slut," sparked widespread controversy. Limbaugh's apology, which was posted on his website, is below:

For over 20 years, I have illustrated the absurd with absurdity, three hours a day, five days a week. In this instance, I chose the wrong words in my analogy of the situation. I did not mean a personal attack on Ms. Fluke.

I think it is absolutely absurd that during these very serious political times, we are discussing personal sexual recreational activities before members of Congress. I personally do not agree that American citizens should pay for these social activities. What happened to personal responsibility and accountability? Where do we draw the line? If this is accepted as the norm, what will follow? Will we be debating if taxpayers should pay for new sneakers for all students that are interested in running to keep fit?In my monologue, I posited that it is not our business whatsoever to know what is going on in anyone's bedroom nor do I think it is a topic that should reach a Presidential level.

My choice of words was not the best, and in the attempt to be humorous, I created a national stir. I sincerely apologize to Ms. Fluke for the insulting word choices.

OClinton, Mitt Romney, John Boehner

Wow, the President got into it? Must have pressed a nerve. She should be apologizing as well as the President, IMO.

darrnad, please post a link and a small paragraph in the future, instead of the whole article.
Thank you.

I too was disappointed that Rush issued any kind of apology.

Money. He isn't sincere-- his word choice in his apology shows he wasn't sincere.

I hope he wasn't sincere. He should never have apologized.


On the flip side, this statement by him speaks volumes.

"My choice of words was not the best, and in the attempt to be humorous, I created a national stir."

This line was not an arrogant punch line boasting his popularity, it is backed by the obvious press time and contention that has ensued. The man is a force to be reckoned with. Thats why his sponsers will return, or be replaced.

What would Jesus have called this woman?

Rush Limbaugh doesn't know my Jesus:
