Rush Limbaugh's Non-Apology
Warning: link to that shithead's site: link.
The whole statement:
2. It's not even in the vicinity of the truth to say that that moron "illustrates" [sic] "the absurd with absurdity." What he does is: he bullshits. His job is to vent, fan the flames of hatred, irrationality and partisan tribalism, and make the worse arguments seem like the better. He spews free-associative nonsense calibrated to appeal to the basest sentiments of the most ignorant subset of the population. He gets to feel important and make wads of cash while undermining the very rationality, civility and mutual respect that make democracy possible.
Were we to use Rushian reasoning, we'd call him a mercenary terrorist, paid to harm America.
Though, come to think of it, that's nowhere near as far from the truth as calling someone testifying about insurance and contraception a "slut"...
3. As far as "discussing personal sexual recreational activities before Congress"... Well, uh, see, your guys started it. Ms. Fluke was just responding. Limbaugh didn't have any problem with folks getting up and discussing that stuff before...when they were all (a) male and (b) against it. But, of course, he thrives on the double standard.
4. Oh, and: did insurance pay for that massive bottle of poke you got busted with? 'Cause then, by your own "reasoning," you got paid to have sex. And, again, by your own definition, you know what that makes you, right?
What a flamboyant moron.

The whole statement:
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.
1. Typical cowardly bullshit non-apology. He apologizes for "insulting word choices," not the content of what he said. Thus he has only apologized for a peripheral matter, and not the truly objectionable core of it. If I call you a pederast, Rush, I can't apologize by saying "oh, sorry...I meant pedophile..."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.

"poke"? Even the urban dictionary let me down here. Viagra?
SMITE
LOL 'poke'--I read in some story that that was the "street name" for Viagra. I've never actually seen that confirmed, but I thought it was funny, so I used it and hoped that the context would make it clear enough if it turned out not to be right.
LOOOL "poke."
That freakin' cracks me up.
He went to play poke-her in the Dominican. He's a drug addict (former?). He has frequently engaged in recreational sex - four wives, no children - unless he's been trying to use a rope for a lance all these years. He couldn't possibly hold himself to his own alleged standard of personal responsibility in any way.
But none of that matters, because to the witless morons who ditto him, nothing would reduce his credibility. He buggers belief (and yes I meant it that way).
