Maybe not....I do not think it was genuine...so perhaps no one else will either.

Limbaugh needs to apologize on his radio broadcast, not just on his website.

The take home lesson here is: Limbaugh was wrong, as he himself admits.

I agree....the only reason he would dare to backtrack on his comments = financial backing for his obnoxious show.

It would have been more genuine had he not tried to legitimize it....judging by the statement on his website.

The only reason Porky Pig is apologizing is because he is watching his food (i.e. advertisers' money) being taken away from him. Oink oink......

Yup, a classical "I am sorry my words made you feel that way" non-apology, with a bit of "it was just a joke" thrown in. The good news is that a ton of his followers are p.ssed of at him for this non-apology apology, and the rational human beings will see right through it.
