“For over 20 years, I have illustrated the absurd with absurdity, three hours a day, five days a week. In this instance, I chose the wrong words in my analogy of the situation. I did not mean a personal attack on Ms. Fluke.

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 taxpayers 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.” – Rush Limbaugh, March 3, 2012

And the problem here is that, again, Rush has completely twisted the truth so far out of context he doesn’t even admit that this is about women’s health insurance provided by, in this very case, an institution that accepts money for health insurance from its students and then denies them appropriate health care based on their “morality.” No taxpayer money pays for the health insurance, that money comes directly from the students who pay their tuition, but are denied insurance payments for treatments that the students need, because they are women, because the Catholic church does not agree that women’s health is more important than their theology.

The other problem is glaringly apparent, Rush’s job is on the line as a variety of social activist groups, otherwise deemed by Rush as ”feminazi’s”, have moved quickly and swiftly to make it clear to every single one of Rush’s sponsors that we are girlcotting their products and will continue to do so as long as they continue to sponsor him. Rush is not sincere. He thinks he’s funny, but really he’s an obnoxious, sexist, racist ass who needs to go. The movement to remove him from the airwaves won’t stop until no sponsor is willing to pay for him to continue spewing his hateful, hurtful nonsense - when he is silenced once and for all. He only apologized after three days of decisive attacks against his sponsors. He didn’t apologize the next day, or even the day after. Only as the petitions are flying across the internet at lightning speed does he realize the gravity of this one very serious attack against women, which will hopefully do him in for good.

This isn’t about money for Rush (he’s got plenty), it’s about power. And he’s losing it.
