Rush Limbaugh Apologizes To Sandra Fluke

[Black]

And/or he just had an uncanny sense that apologizing might buy him one more news cycle of seeming relevance.

[Spock]

Time to keep up the pressure on the remaining advertisers. Hit him in the only place it hurts, the pocket and his vanity.

The things that make Limbaugh relevant are dysfunctional. He represents a constricted, bigoted,
side of the political sphere. There is little he can do to reduce his repulsive, inflammatory and insidious nature. imnsho *(:>*

I really liked Carbonite's response to his apology. I think Carbonite has advertised on his show for a long time.

Here's the full statement from Carbonite. I LOVE this even more. “No one with daughters the age of Sandra Fluke, and I have two, could possibly abide the insult and abuse heaped upon this courageous and well-intentioned young lady. Mr. Limbaugh, with his highly personal attacks on Miss Fluke, overstepped any reasonable bounds of decency. Even though Mr. Limbaugh has now issued an apology, we have nonetheless decided to withdraw our advertising from his show. We hope that our action, along with the other advertisers who have already withdrawn their ads, will ultimately contribute to a more civilized public discourse.”

riling people up is HIS JOB.

which is why i'm not at all surprised about any turd that falls out of his mouth.

I wonder if swampy will also apologize for not telling the truth in the previous Limbaugh thread?

swampy said: Fluke herself said she was "having so much sex" she couldn't afford to pay for it (birth control).

We will never get apologies from Swampy. Ever.

She is superior to the rest of us, after all.

The fallout will be interesting to see, after all no public figure before or since has survived the arrest and drug "scandal" as he did. It only seemed to infuriate and confirm to his audience that 'they're out to get him'.

Given the demographics of his audience, I doubt it will be different this time.
