Limbaugh's weaker than water "apology"

[PoliticalChic]

Here's the text of the so-called "apology" issued Saturday by the Fat Man. If this was any weaker, it would look like swiss cheese with all the holes in it. Of course, it'll appease his dittoloonies.

"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."​

Still stronger than the apologies from the dolts who saddled this nation with the pretender in the White House.....

A Birther.

No, silly.....the guy who pretends competence!


As Sen. Hillary Clinton was preparing to campaign here today, Sen. Barack Obama was meeting with voters at a diner and apparently pretty hungry “Why can’t I just eat my waffle?” he said, when asked a foreign policy question by a reporter at the Glider Diner. The obligatory “Obama just wants to finish his waffle” post « Hot Air


But...he knows waffles!!!

The amount of posts on this thread in such a short amount of time shows one thing for sure. That is Rush Limbaugh stirs the passions on both sides of the isle, which is why he's so successful. Like it or not he is "doing what he was born to do"

Convincing dumb white Christians to vote against their own economic interests?

Never mind that it is conservative ideology that is working, where it has been implemented in parts around the the world .
Like lowering or eliminating corporate taxes, as just one of many examples.

You far-left drones sure do love that meaningless slogan. Do you get paid extra every time you use it?

Only when I realized it was the reality of my life, man.

I used to listen to Captain OxyCotin all the time. And I bought into a lot of the bullshit. Until I realized my Romney-loving boss (who said he'd vote Democratic if Huckabee got the nomination in 2008) educated me that while they play up to the "social conservatives", they don't give a fuck about their issues, and the whole purpose is just to keep us resentful of the wrong enemy.

Who does Rush go on about. Unions. Feminists. Minorities. It's a big huge distraction, and it fooled Republicans for a long time. Not so much anymore. The fact Santorum is doing so well is an indication that some Republicans actually get it.

Horseshit.

Ireland (which has the lowest corporate tax rate) is in the same boat as Greece. All those countries have universal health care and cradle to grave benefits and stronger unions than we have.

A guy who flies into a sex-tourism country with a bottle full of viagra (and without a female companion) which he acquired using a false name, really has no business calling a young woman a 'slut' because she is taking responsibility for her reproductive health.

Limbaugh stepped in it. This was a dumb fight to get into, and someone was going to step on the land mine.

She's not taking responsibility. Not even close. She wants to shift her responsibility to everyone else. Did Rush pay for his tickets? Did he buy his own Viagra? That alone puts him head, shoulders and armpits over the slut.

"I did not mean a personal attack on Ms. Fluke."

Seriously?

How is that possible? How do you attack a person, personally, repeatedly, over several days, with a barrage of personal insults,

and not mean it to be personal?

Horseshit my ass.
It brought in a lot of companies to Ireland. Then their Government started spending it for the very things you mentioned.
It is the health care, over indulging benefits and unions pensions that have made them broke.

There's no TRUTH is this pile of shit.

Rush said she has boyfriends "Lined up around the block."

He said she said "she was having so much sex she can't afford it."

He asked: "...what does that make her? It makes her a slut, right? It makes her a prostitute. She wants to be paid to have sex. She's having so much sex she can't afford the contraception.

And: "Ms. Fluke, have you ever heard of not having sex? Have you ever heard of not having sex so often?"

After saying that the Washington, D.C., Department of Health "will send you free condoms and lube," Limbaugh said: "So, Ms. Fluke and the rest of you feminazis, here's the deal. If we are going to pay for your contraceptives, and thus pay for you to have sex, we want something for it, and I'll tell you what it is. We want you to post the videos online so we can all watch."

Rush asked of Ms. Fluke: "Who bought your condoms in junior high? Who bought your condoms in the sixth grade? Or your contraception. Who bought your contraceptive pills in high school?"

Then: Fluke is "having so much sex, it's amazing she can still walk." He also said Georgetown should establish a "Wilt Chamberlin scholarship ... exclusively for women."

Then, again, Limbaugh defended his previous comments and complained "not one person says that, 'Well, did you ever think about maybe backing off the amount of sex that you have?'

Later, Limbaugh said that requiring insurance companies to cover contraception is "no different than if somebody knocked on my door that I don't know and said, 'You know what? I'm out of money. I can't afford birth-control pills, and I'm supposed to have sex with three guys tonight.' "
​

Fluke never even once talked about her own sexual activity. In, no way, shape or form. In fact, in her testimony, she even said:

“And so, I’m here today to share their voices, and I want to thank you for allowing them – not me – to be heard."

All that came from his mouth was a 3 day long tirade of misogynistic putrid slurs and below-the-belt slander aimed at a woman who testified about a public policy matter.

There wasn't an ounce of truth in his words.

She's paying $30,000 a year for tuition that includes health coverage, as all college tuition plans do today. She's saying that as a matter of contract law, the university can't call it's health coverage comprehensive and NOT include reproductive health services. And she's right on the money.

Look, we all have our health care paid for by someone else, either a government program, an insurance policy or an insurance policy propped up by a government program. The whole reason why we do it that way is most of us wouldn't put aside a pile of money for health care if we weren't forced to. So because we arent' doing what every civilized countries does (have universal, single payer health insurance), we have these arguments about who is going to pay for what and how, and about a third of the people who work in the medical field are the ones who work this out. Any doctors office, you have three people in there whose job it is to fight with insurance companies so the doctor gets paid.

I'd really like to know what Rush was doing in the DR, a country notorious for sex tourism. I would like to know why he had Marta (wife #3) sign a non-disclosure agreement. I mean, I think if this joker is going to make comments about other people's sex lives, he's kind of opening a whole can of worms for himself, isn't he?

In fact, it's good to see that this woman finds contraception of greater importance than working for that college degree. Should we as taxpayers be paying for someone's private extracurricular activities? It's amazing how some individuals hunger for more "entitlements" is taking this whole nation down the drain. This President is on a spending spree and apparently $15 trillion in debt is not enough to satisfy. What Obama won't do to get women to side with him to gain a greater shot at re-election. Do you think that's enough to allow so many women to simply overlook a sluggish economy and rising gas prices that have a even greater impact on their personal pocketbook? Is this how we are to cheapen the intelligence of many women today?

If you buy insurance that covers a drug prescription, you are paying for it.

So, your point is that, rather than presenting herself as a slut, she is presenting herself as the 'Voice of the Sluts"?


Is that the correction you would like?

 

[NYcarbineer]

Ironically, in the 90's, "Character Matters" became a well worn slogan on the Right,

and the man primarily responsible for that was none other than Rush Limbaugh.

I would like to be able to ask him when, for him personally, did that slogan expire?

There wasn't an ounce of truth in his words.

By her behavior Fluke proved the absolute truth of what he said. She wants birth control coverage to the tune of $1,000 a year. As has been ABUNDANTLY made clear, to use that much BC, she has to be having sex so often that it's a wonder how she is getting through school. But that's a matter between the school and the professors.

There's no behavior she engaged in, other than testifying in Washington.

And you have got to be as rock solid stupid as Rush and his dittohead idiots to make a statement like "to use that much birth control."

You fucking dolts don't even understand how the pill works. You take ONE pill a day - if you have no sex, or if you have sex 10 times a week. The cost of the pill has nothing to do with the amount of sex one has.

Christ, some of you have the IQ of lint.
