Even if she were talking about her own sex life, does that make what Rush said ok? Real men are as offended by what he said as women. Any man that thinks it is ok or a joke needs to call their mothers or wives those names and see what happens. You just might be picking your teeth off the floor.

It's definitely not in his low character to apologize to someone. he must have really been chewed out by the Repub moguls to get that apology out of his mouth.

Nope, I'm not. I am a typical fence rider, some things the "right" are correct about, and some things the "left" are correct on.

How so? If Imus got fired and sued, certainly Rush could be as well.

Educate yourself please. Exactly how could a woman give another woman this illness in her OVARIES?!

Did he apologize? If so, I missed it.

I would't call Limbaugh a dog, more of a hog, they do rhyme however.

Very true, being a man and admitting when you screwed up is something the radical right have no comprehension of. Rush likely just did it as he was forced to from advertisers dropping him, and more threatening to do so. This actually hits home as it will start dipping into his cheeseburger and oxycontin funds, things ol' fat boy can't live without.

I see his fans are as classy as the man himself.

Let me show you what brought on the apology:

His advertisers are running for the hills.
Interestingly, Carbonite is a sponsor of Ed Schultz's show. Remember what Ed Schultz did?

What's your point?

Is Rush going to be sanctioned in any way by being suspended or fired? I think not.
