Rush Limbaugh clearly chose the wrong words. . . even when he was apologizing.
The big news over the course of the past week has been Limbaugh’s outrageous comments about a Georgetown University law student who had the gall to speak out in favor of Catholic university health plans being required to cover birth control. Limbaugh, in a now-famous rant on his nationally syndicated radio show, called the student, Sandra Fluke, a “slut” and a “prostitute” who wanted the government to pay her to have sex. He also said Fluke was “having sex so frequently that she can’t afford all the birth-control pills that she needs”—showing an utter lack of understanding regarding how birth control works.
