It doesn't happen much but Rush Limbaugh has admitted he made a mistake. He has apologized for calling a woman a slut. The furor over his choice of words reached the point where his syndicator Premiere Radio Networks had to send out a press release. In it Rush said " In this instance, I chose the wrong words in my analogy of the situation. I did not mean a personal attack on Ms. Fluke." Rush called Sandra Fluke the "S" word while discussing the issue of contraception which has gotten a lot of attention in the Republican race for President. His show on Monday will certainly be interesting.
More from the Limbaugh statement: "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 tax payers 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.?
