Hoof in Mouth Disease

It's been a couple of years since anything Rush Limbaugh said on his radio show actually came to our attention.



You may have heard that he said some very unfortunate things the other day concerning women and birth control. In particular, he singled out a Georgetown University student named Sandra Fluke who appeared before Congress advocating for the availability of birth control.



What Rush said was (and we're paraphrasing here) that if women want the government to pay for their birth control they should put their sex videos on the internet. He further called Ms. Fluke a slut.


Well, it looks as if all the sponsors of his radio show are bailing out while they still can. As of this writing seven advertisers have leaped off the sinking ship.


Limbaugh offered Ms. Fluke a half-assed apology wherein he apologized for insulting word choices in an attempt to be humorous. Really, Rush? We think you wouldn't know humor if it bit you on your fat ass. Perhaps that's insulting to you. We can only hope.
