  Wow, what a bunch of hypocritical hogwash! Where was all of the outrage over Maher? Letterman? Michael Moore? all you have shown me is that you approve of ANYTHING the liberals do but God forbid the conservative that does anything shameful. Bill Maher is outright disgusting, and Obama is intent on making America a communist country, and you thinkk that's ok? You people are totally living in LaLa Land.

• ceceann | Mar 19, 2012, 11:49 PM EDT

  Are you nuts? Where was the shame when Lettterman said Sarah's 15 year old daughter was knocked up by A Rod? Where was the shame when Bill Maher said we should send Elizabeth Hassellbeck in Lara Logan's place to be sexually assaulted? Where was the shame when he called Sarah vile unprintable names? What hippocrits you and your fans are! It is only shameful in your estimation when a conservative does it. You have lost all credibility. I do not approve of these 2 or Limbaugh so, I do not listen to them. When their ratings go down, perhaps decent language will prevail by both camps. By Obama accepting Maher's million dollar donation, he is endorsing this type of so called entertainment.

  torbreezy!! Limbaugh has more in common with pre- war German propagandist.

• eiriamach | Mar 08, 2012, 02:59 PM EST

  kilgara, no chief executive can nullify federal law. Your notion that Obama, or any US president, can unilaterally repeal settled US law shows a lamentable lack of acquaintance with the Constitution and its checks and balances on the exercise of power by the branches of government.

• kilgara | Mar 07, 2012, 05:17 PM EST

  Hey Eiramach, Your quote"It is ludicrous that Obama would adopt any pro-abortion federal policy". This man is one of the few Senators who voted to extend allowable abortions even after delivery ! Not even Barbara Boxer or Hilary could endorse that.If you would kindly remove your head from your posterior we might no longer be forced to indulge your moronic diatrabes.

• McNamara31 | Mar 07, 2012, 12:46 PM EST

  Just heard its up to 39 including:AccuQuote Life Insurance, Allstate Insurance, AOL, Bare Escentuals, Bethesda Sedation Dentistry, Bonobos, Capital One, Carbonite, Cascades Dental, Citrix, Consolidated Credit Counseling Services, Constant Contact, Cunningham Security, Freedom Debt Relief, Girl Scouts, Goodwill Industries, Hadeed Carpet, JCPenney, Legal Zoom, Matrix Direct, Netflix, Norway Savings Bank, Philadelphia Orchestra, PolyCom, Portland Ovations, ProFlowers, Quicken Loans, Regal Assets, Reputation Rhino, RSVP Discount Beverage, Sears, Sensa, Service Magic, Sleep Train, Sleep Number, St. Vincent’s Medical Center, Tax Resolution, Thompson Creek Windows and Vitacost...Probably many of them are Republicans, some Democrats, but mostly parents who say this was one step too far for this extremely vile subhuman.

• McNamara31 | Mar 07, 2012, 12:36 PM EST

  As of today 29 sponsors have left the Rush Limbaugh show. After years of his constant distortion of the news and the facts and the constant smears and vilification of all he targeted, in the end all it took was a little "fluke" to cast the conservative "shark" from the pond.

• torbreezy | Mar 07, 2012, 11:21 AM EST

  El Rushbo is a man of singular brilliance, prescience and inspiration but a "man" nonetheless: how sad that lesser mortals "pile on" when indeed they would do well to thank God we have a veritable "John the Baptist" among us who exudes and exhibits his "talents on loan from God" everyday.

• alimah | Mar 06, 2012, 06:49 PM EST

  Mr. Roberts... You're right on with your analysis of the situation and it was refreshing to read this article. Mitt Romney's statement describing Limbaugh's comments as a poor choice of words makes you wonder what words Romney would have chosen. The candidates on the right are afraid of the "dragon"... but me thinks he has lost much of his power and may not regain it. So many are underestimating the power of women today... they are fighting hard and strong for their rights (although I thought most of this was settled in the '60's). With the power of technology and the Internet, women are getting results swiftly by uniting, speaking out, and signing online petitions by the thousands. In this case, it was women (the primary retail shoppers in the nation) who pressured Limbaugh's radio sponsors to abandon his show or they would boycott their products... and it worked. It was also evidenced recently with the reversal of the "Komen Foundation's" hypocracy. For the first time in a long time, women have the support of a President who believes in women's rights and isn't afraid to act on their behalf.

• Pittsburghkid | Mar 06, 2012, 06:34 PM EST

  Letterman said the Palin's 14 year old daughter was sleeping a baseball player. Letterman held his job. The assults on Palin and her family have been bad, but no one in the Lamestream Media lost their job. This is definately a double standard.

• seanomelb | Mar 06, 2012, 05:28 PM EST

  Limbaugh is a nasty little man who has no respect for marriage.He,Gingrich and O'Reilly espouse Christian values on marriage and fidelity yet they play under their own rules the sanctimonious hypocrites.Theresaom is an ignorant fool with a stupid attitude towards contraception.

• eiriamach | Mar 06, 2012, 03:07 PM EST

  Theresaom has not bothered to read Ms Fluke's testimony, but she does not allow ignorance to inhibit her here. She rants on and on with her completely fictional version of Sandra Fluke's criticism of her university's discriminatory but mandatory health insurance. A deliberate misrepresentation of facts is what we call a lie. People who indulge in aggressive, in-your-face, complete-with-obscenities and shouts of "SHUT UP!!!!!" misrepresentations of facts are people I call liars (and worse, when my customary philosophic equanimity suffers a lapse). And, once again, I say specifically to Theresaom that such behavior in a public forum is offensive.

• pickateer | Mar 06, 2012, 09:35 AM EST

  Truth is she is a Liberal activist who wants others to pay for her sleeping around. She should let those that bed her pay for their dalliances. And in layman terms a woman that sleeps around is a Tart, Slut, Skank, all of the above. But then where is the outrage with regard to Bill Maher or those NBC "journalists" when they use language even more vile to describe Conservative women. Oh then its "funny!"

• beachcomber | Mar 06, 2012, 08:04 AM EST

  'at long last, have you left no sense of decency?'...if this was asked of limbaugh, the answer would be a resounding no. he needs his bully pulpit burned to the ground, and his hate speech silenced.

• Theresaom | Mar 05, 2012, 09:30 PM EST

  Somebody else offended again. I'm tired of everybody getting offended. I'm a woman. If I go in front of congress and claim that I need a boat load of birth control per year, what the hell do I think will be said. She has every right to tell the world the amount of sex that she has just the same as anybody else has the right to respond to her ridiculous comments any way they see fit. If she gets offended, she should think about that before she opens her mouth! Actions have consequences!!! If you don't ever want to be offended, then shut your mouth, otherwise grow up and deal with the consequences from your words. I'm so sick of everybody whining and being offended. Get a damn backbone! Apparently she has no shame with needing and asking for $3000 of birth control a year so how could she possibly be offended by the word slut!!!! Is that not the very definition of the word or do we now call it the "s" word!!!! SHUT UP!!!!!

• SingleDonald | Mar 05, 2012, 07:44 PM EST

  DrSheilahere, I am presumably in your generation (baby boomer), but think differently now, than I did years ago. You likely read my post on this topic, when I said I regretted referring to Vanessa Redgrave as a "slutty tramp", when she had that baby, out of wedlock. As an uncle, I am pleased that my 19-year old niece is on & off with one guy. I do realize, however, that she is old enough to have a few boyfriends, and I wouldn't condemn her if she did. Even baby boomers have come a long way in cutting the female gender some slack, where their sexuality is concerned. Of course, I pray that my niece never lets every guy on campus "get his rocks off with her". Knowing her, she is more responsible than that, and thus wouldn't let it happen..

• TomFitz | Mar 05, 2012, 07:39 PM EST

  DrSheilahere, God bless you... It's good to hear some intelligent words for a change.. This student put herself out there with her comments publicly.. Did she not expect any response from people who may be upset by her statements? I think not.. She has made an overnight sensation who was looking for recognition among her female peers.. What else could she expect if she was halfway intelligent.. When a person "puts themselves out there, and become a national figure, they have to reap the rewards.. Good or bad..

• SingleDonald | Mar 05, 2012, 07:15 PM EST

  PatriciaMarya, I DO accept your views that the Church, historically, has been harsh on women. Please, though, stop fabricating a revision to Genesis! Concerning Genesis, I have heard, through the years, that Adam supposedly had a wife before Eve, named Lilith. She was more independant that Eve, and left Adam because he couldn't accept this. If anybody here can share more light on this Lilith, I would appreciate it!

• seanomelb | Mar 05, 2012, 06:03 PM EST

  There seems to be an inherent ignorance of contraception by the ill-educated right wing.They use quotes from misogynists like Limbaugh O'Reilly and other shock jocks as fact.They need to take their collective noses out of the bible and read some scientific material.Oops! the cannot read scientific material Santorum claims that a scientific education is a lefty plot.I feel sorry for the poor right wing(or is it white wing)ignorant evangelical drones.

• Chazzman | Mar 05, 2012, 05:45 PM EST

  Rush Limbaugh is a radio host expousing his opinions why is this taken so seriously? He's an addict,bigot,blow hard and horn dog chasing skirts that would never look at him if he wasn't filthy rich. He's telling the world converative values and ideas how we should all live while he lives like Caligula.

• DrSheilahere | Mar 05, 2012, 05:17 PM EST

  The president apologizing-- he is always apologizing for something. Limbaugh today, Israel tomorrow. As for Rush, anyone from our generation would view a woman who willingly claims she has so many sex partners she is going broke paying for them is a slut. She is, by her own admission, the campus trampolene. Now, I would suggest if you don't want people to call you names, don't align yourself with sluts. If it looks like a slut, and acts like a slut, then it is a slut. Some information should be yours to the grave. But, that's my generation. Today, a parent would be proud to know that their daughter is so desired that every guy on campus can get his rocks off with her and she's just dandy with that. Grow up.,

• PatriciaMarya | Mar 05, 2012, 01:37 PM EST

  As the late, great Irish-American Sen. Patrick Moynihan put it so clearly "While you are welcome to your own opinions, you are not welcome to your own facts." Taxpayers are not paying the insurance premiums of college students across this country: their self-paid FEES are! These are not people on Medicaid - when you are in school, you are not eligible for these tax-payer programs. What is being requested is for these Rxs to be included as covered on the eligible pharmaceutical list. And while we are at it, the Catholic Church has no problem with that over-priced Blue Pill to be fully covered and no problem with male vasectomies - a form of birth control due to the fact that the sperm no longer swim downstream. But God forbid that the same rationale is used with females. Birth Control pills are also used to regulate the monthly menses cycle - you know, The Period, the action where girls and women bleed every month along with pain, cramping and physical discomfort. But no, let us not have a medication that can regulate the hormonal cycle so that women can continue to suffer The Sins of Eve. In Medieval times, women were not allowed to be treated with soothing herbs or the use of forceps, called the Claws of the Devil, by the way, by the monks who insisted that women suffer due to Eve. And while we are at it, think about it - whoever heard of a talking snake? No clothes were being worn, right? It was Adam behind a tree, setting up Eve to be the Victim of God's anger, taking the blame for men's actions as usual, right from the very beginning. And that attitude continues to go on unchecked still.

• TomFitz | Mar 05, 2012, 07:54 AM EST

  sgrotzky : Did you listen? Did she say 40% of the female students at Georgetown have ovarian cycts? No.. She was giving an example of only one student that she knew. The average cost of a pack of 12 condomes is $4.50 (38 cents each). $3000.00 would buy 7895 condoms per student. That's a hell of a lot of sex! When do they have time to study? She is on a Public Interest Scholarship..and wants even more freebies too accomodate her sexual pleasures. When will people wake up and see that this is yet another of an endless list of entitlements that Obama is offereing these kids to buy there votes. Rush Limbaugh's remarks may have been wrong to say on the air, but I can assure you that is what many listeners would be thinking even if he didn't say it.

• eiriamach | Mar 05, 2012, 05:30 AM EST

  More 'faith-based and fact-free' comments from jetsnoone and redwood and kilgara to insult our intelligence. The appeal to mob emotions that these "don't confuse me with the facts" folks engage in escalates each time they post. It's ludicrous that Obama would adopt any pro-abortion federal policy, much less charge religious organizations for abortions, and what's more, it's been illegal some time. The Hyde Amendment--remember that? No, the fact filters glued to their organs of perception have effectively screened out reality for them.

• redwood1957 | Mar 05, 2012, 05:08 AM EST

  He said a bad thing, he has the right to say it. I did not hear it I have the right to listen to whom I want. She has the right to ask for us to pay for her and others birth control. I have the right to say sorry I don't want to pay for it. Please remember who started this, Mr Obama the divider. He does not have the right to tell us we must pay for anything. All done for these results. Don't fall for it, all of it is a distraction.

• kilgara | Mar 05, 2012, 01:21 AM EST

  Roberts, just how much do you know about Joe McCarthy and 1950's America?Judging by your past columns and this one my guess would be next to nothing.So the next time you feel like slandering someone who is long dead and unable to defend himself, you might pick up a history book or two and begin to educate yourself before you start bloviating , you ignoramus,

• joanxis | Mar 04, 2012, 09:05 PM EST

  Eiriamach, I totally agree with you.

• joanxis | Mar 04, 2012, 09:02 PM EST

• SingleDonald | Mar 04, 2012, 08:36 PM EST

  I deplore Rush Limbaugh's remarks, despite admiring some of his positions. These nasty comments represent a mostly bygone prejudice, against the female gender. I was raised in the era when a high premium was placed on a girl's virginity. "Nice girls" didn't do sexual things, especially not full experiences. Sadly, I referred to actress Vanessa Redgrave as a "slutty tramp", when she had a baby out of wedlock. Had I used my head, even then, I would have realized that her having the baby was better than her getting an abortion. Shortly thereafter, I learned more about female sexuality, and how much more complex it was than my own. I then realized that the respect all men should have for women can be reflected by us meeting their physical & emotional needs. If a girl wishes to remain virginal, we should respect that as well. It, however, is darn foolish to equate having consensual experiences with being a "whore". Prostitutes get paid; ordinary women seek intimacy for affection with a man. I'm happy most men, Rush excluded, are more enlightened today, concerning female sexuality.

• badolan | Mar 04, 2012, 08:28 PM EST

  Didn't Limbaugh get caught with a suitcase full of Viaga on his way to South America a few years ago. No joke. Hopefully, his latest wife insists that he use a condom so he won't give her anything (if he can get it up). What a fat hypocritical pig.

• badolan | Mar 04, 2012, 08:24 PM EST

  Limbaugh's latest repugnant comments pale in comparison to his grotesque imitation of Michael J. Fox's Parkinson disease. That was truly disturbing episode. However, Limbaugh fans will support him irregardless of what he says or does. His fans can rationalize his behavior even better than he himself can.

• cillowen | Mar 04, 2012, 07:57 PM EST

  rush is right - insurance paid by all of us for the pleasure of flukites. who knew it would come to this. guys now have a lady who'll guide them in pursuit of pleasure. A web site would do the trick. Fugget arresting johns and such free spirits.

• sgrotzky | Mar 04, 2012, 07:15 PM EST

  I am not surprised that so many of the people willing to call her a slut didn't even listen to what she had to say. She was talking about a friend who needed contraceptives to control an ovarian cyst. Her inability to have them covered by insurance, or ability to pay herself, cost her an ovary. Nowhere did she discuss sex in relation to herself, nor was it any of anyones business. But I do see the usual idiots out calling her a slut without reading anything about it. Nice job in looking like an ignoramus there guys.

• seanomelb | Mar 04, 2012, 06:28 PM EST

  Limbaugh is ignorant of contraceptives and how they work(and some posters here are just as ignorant).It matters not how many times a woman has sex or maybe taking the pill for other disorders,she only takes one pill a day.

• eiriamach | Mar 04, 2012, 05:30 PM EST

  Do the Limbaugh enlistees posting below have any idea how health insurance works? The person who uses the insurance pays for it. Ms Fluke's university charges a pretty penny AND makes it mandatory for law students to pay for it, yet the university refuses to offer insurance that covers contraception for women-- an expensive, MD-prescribed and MD- monitored form of reproductive health care. Gynecologists often prescribe it to treat serious health conditions, not just to prevent pregnancy! This is utter ignorance, misogynist and prurient as well: "he certainly was right about not wanting to pay for her extra curricular activities, and if we are paying for her 'jollies', we should get to see the video, though, by the looks of her, who'd want to watch it?" This sort of language is abusive of women! It is hate speech that does not belong on IC or any site that decent people might visit. This is the poison that Limbaugh spits regularly at the American public, and I find the posters below who spread it thoroughly offensive.

• seanomelb | Mar 04, 2012, 04:45 PM EST

  The ignorant defending the indefensible on this site is a sad indictment of the state of the GOP.Limpbaughs disgusting attack on the young lady was defended by O'Reilly,Hannity and other bottom dwellers. We all know the commonality between Limpbaugh,Hannity and Gingrich.

  Just another idiot Republican venting his spleen but this time he ruptured it!!!! SHUT HIM OFF the radio. Stop listening to ANYTHING he says.

• indigome | Mar 04, 2012, 04:12 PM EST

  His ignorance affronts: "so much sex" costs no more than no sex - for oral contraceptives the $$$ are the same month in month out, but his own pandering for sponsor and income $$$ that led to this incident are even more egregious. He should be fired as the tasteless hate-mongoring idiot he so brazenly portrays. BTW joanxis, Ms Fluke was speaking of a classmate not herself.

• McNamara31 | Mar 04, 2012, 03:27 PM EST

  This man is a lowlife who makes millions distorting the news/facts for the GOP and corporate interests who benefit from their deregulation. He has been the major player along with Roger Ailes in dividing this country to total polarization. Anyone who follows and believes what this sub human spouts simply doesn’t want the facts to get in the way of their hate and bigotry. I for one am totally sick of the extreme gun toting, deregulating, polluting fringe having so much impact on policy. And you know who is to blame? Us. Only 10% at most turn out for primary elections and those are mostly the fringe voter as was witnessed by the screams from the audience during the past GOP debates. If we sit on the sidelines and allow hate mongers like this offensive lowlife to continue along with the bought and sold politicians he supports, we have only ourselves to blame.

• joanxis | Mar 04, 2012, 02:36 PM EST

  Number 1 - you guys aren't listening. No where did Ms. Fluke say she wanted birth control for sex. It was for medicinal reasons. Number 2. Give me proof of some of the things liberals have said that are as bad as Limbaugh's comments. If you do - then I'll condem them too.

• KeyWestConch | Mar 04, 2012, 02:29 PM EST

  Don't forget that Limbaugh is also deaf. So for most of the past 20 years he has been stoned AND couldn't hear. Couldn't comprehend but didn't hear what anybody said anyway. Which explains a lot of what he says now. It probably took him a couple of days to figure out that anybody was complaining about what he said about Ms. Fluke. He was apparently able to read his bank statements though.

• sqeyes48 | Mar 04, 2012, 02:01 PM EST

  One thing many are missing in this chat is that birth control medication is also used for various female medical problems. Just centering the pitch on birth control and not that the medication may be needed for any number of other problems is quite short sighted. Rush has always tried for the 'outragious' but if he is entertainment, then he is to serious thought like WWE is to pro sports.

• MegK311 | Mar 04, 2012, 01:40 PM EST

  How many of you have put your foot in your mouth and said something that you later wish you hadn't said. $3,000 a year for contraceptives, wow I am in my 70s and have never in my whole life spent $3,000 on contraceptives. As to Rush being a drug addict I think is unfair. He became addicted to pain medication which I think would be very easy to do. Many people become addicted to pain medications. You mentioned companies withdrawing their advertising from his show well I can think of two companies that owe their success to Rush for promoting their products on the air when they were struggling to get started. I know that the liberals hope that this is the end of Rush but I don't think so, Don't hold your breath. Many liberals make worse statements than Rush did but they get away with it. I think it is called a double standard. I don't agree with everything Rush says or does but the liberal media is making much a do about nothing.

• waltergmccarthy | Mar 04, 2012, 01:37 PM EST

  Ah Paddy Roberts, Typical Left Wing Lib, jealous of Rush's Huge success as the voice of all conservative Americans. Admittedly, bad choice of words, but he certainly was right about not wanting to pay for her extra curricular activities, and if we are paying for her "jollies", we should get to see the video, though, by the looks of her, who'd want to watch it? This will run off Rush like water off a duck's back. Tune into him on Monday, and make him even more successful! Even though you Libs hate him, you all listen to him. Go Rush!!!

• SeamusMor | Mar 04, 2012, 01:29 PM EST

  Lush Bimbo thrives on publicity. There's no such thing as bad press for media creatures like him. There's no place to low for him to go for a headline to boost his ratings. He's the type that would produce a musical comedy sequel to "The Producers" called "The Greatest Shoah on Earth" just to get the AIPAC convention in an uproar!

• Kells46 | Mar 04, 2012, 01:04 PM EST

• Rebelforce | Mar 04, 2012, 11:56 AM EST

  I'm no big fan of Limbaugh, but uber-Douche Bill Maher says far more obnoxious and hateful stuff every day of the week and nobody whines that he should be fired or apologize for it. And can we finally give 110 year old Joe McCarthy a rest? It's such tired, typical, "Monkey hear, Monkey say" syndrome.

• hooligan6a | Mar 04, 2012, 11:43 AM EST

  What's all the hullabaloo about? Any woman the spends $3000 a year on birth control, if not a slut, what is she? And then to get up before congress and admit it, She has no shame It also raises the question, does she make a living at it or just get better grades? But geting back to the main issue, Why in the world does she expect the tax payer to pay for her fun? Shouldn't her date pay and not the tax payer?

• PhlutiePhan | Mar 04, 2012, 11:35 AM EST

  Do your reearch! "Tail Gunner Joe" never was proven wrong in his Communist allegations. Even the beloved Lucille Ball had been sucked into the Communist Party for altruistic reasons. The issue with Ms. Flake or is it Fluke is one of a Catholic University albeit a nominal one paying for the contraception of an individual. She was a law school student and not an undergraduate who may have had an argument for health coverage. A comment may say that it was for hormonal "cyst" prevention but that argument is a joke. She wanted to be covered for promiscuity. The argument is not for the coverage of sexual activity. It is one of the coverage being paid for by a Catholic University. If she is covered, then premiums would go up elsewhere just to fund her vanity.

• joanxis | Mar 04, 2012, 11:06 AM EST

  For those few of you who are taking Rush's side - you are just as ignorant as he was when he made his statements. I have watched and read Sandra Fluke's testimony and not once does she mention that she wants or needs contraceptives because of sex - her wanting contraceptives to prevent getting pregnant because she wants so much sex. Her speech was for the medicinal use of contraception pills. They help prevent ovarian cycts and other medical problems. Please learn before you open your mouths. I wonder how you would feel if Rush called your daughters or grandaughters those names unfairly.

• johhnyb | Mar 04, 2012, 10:52 AM EST

  Disgraceful rudeness on the part of Rush. Puts one in mind of President Obama deliberately calling the Tea Partiers, 'Tea Baggers'. The apology for that hasn't quite arrived yet.

• Porickseantuny | Mar 04, 2012, 10:45 AM EST

  a bit of over the top hyperbole. However, if we're going to pay for her play why can't we watch? Fluke claims poverty saying paying 3000 per year would take all her summer earnings. Any attorney knows that summer interns from Georgetown Law School earn at least $2000 per week as interns. Further she cand buy effective birth control at the corner drug store for a few dollars. She's not Fluke, she's fake.

• RD | Mar 04, 2012, 10:40 AM EST

  I would heartily disagree with your assessment of Obama's "masterful" move when he called Sandra Fluke. Many American feminists see this response as entirely inadequate. This week we are hearing all about a War on Women when those of us with memories remember that it was Democrats and the Obama campaign in particular who fired the first shot against Hillary Clinton 4 years ago. He's left us to fight this battle entirely on his own and if Rush goes down, it will be because WE did it, we women, and we won't owe him or any repugnant Republican politician anything. Call this The Revenge of the Feminazis. We would be stupid to settle for anything less than exiling Rush Limbaugh permanently to blogtalkradio.

• Kells46 | Mar 04, 2012, 10:36 AM EST

  This disgusting, vile, bad-mouthed person should not be on the air. He would be wise to take care of his own problems which are many, before pointing the finger at another. This Republican Party is a total joke, the whole thing is like a comedy of errors and it gets worse by the day.

• carlow98 | Mar 04, 2012, 10:23 AM EST

  Ms Fluke needs to go to class; and none of us need to pay for her birth control.

• hollabackgurl | Mar 04, 2012, 10:23 AM EST

  Rush called a young woman a 'slut' which is a term I haven't heard used by a man since high school. He also called her a 'prostitute.' He's a trash talking disgrace.

• forflann | Mar 04, 2012, 10:08 AM EST

  wjb1tex, the difference between journalism and Rush is, everything in the above article is true, and Rush's tirade is only name calling,without facts. I wouldn't worry about his well being, FOX followers like his do as I say, not as I have done attitude.

• Murph46 | Mar 04, 2012, 10:03 AM EST

  And you critasize others for comments you find out of step ? How about these ? " Rush Limbaugh has four wives, the latest a thirtysomething year old who I’m sure loves him dearly for his extraordinary physique, and not his oceanfront Palm Beach mansion. He’s also an admitted pill addict"

  Rush Limbaugh is absolutely disgusting. On his 4th wife, a "so-called" recovering drug addict, and a real troublesome person for the Republican party. Also, shame on Romney for his "wimpy" remark. He could have stood up and denounce the "slut, etc." comment, but he did not.

  Has Letterman or Maher apologized yet? 0 just accepted $1M from Maher. At least Limbaugh and Gingrich marry them. Clinton raped or assaulted them.
