So Rush Limbaugh apologized to Sandra Fluke yesterday for calling her a slut and a prostitute<\/a>. I don’t know why he needed to apologize, I haven’t heard any apologies over the years for calling Sarah Palin names, including “slut”. The Left differentiates their behavior from Rush by explaining that Fluke isn’t a public figure. Well, she did become a public figure the minute she decided to tell Congress how the rest of us taxpayers should have our money spent to subsidize her sexual proclivities.<\/p>\n

But Rush’s apology, as reported by the Washington Post<\/a>;<\/p>\n

\u201cMy choice of words was not the best, and in the attempt to be humorous, I created a national stir,\u201d Limbaugh said on his website. \u201cI sincerely apologize to Ms. Fluke for the insulting word choices.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So that’s the end of it, right? 75 members of Congress demanded an apology from Rush, so that should satisfy the Left, right? Nope. Michael Moore<\/a> tweets last night;<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

So you remedy one situation of a guy calling a woman a “slut” by calling that guy a “bitch” when he apologizes. Classy, Jabba the Moore.<\/p>\n

The Propagandist<\/a> calls it a non-apology. The Talking Points Memo<\/a> says it falls on deaf ears. So why did he even bother?<\/p>\n

The whole situation reminds of the issue we discussed<\/a> over two years ago when Major General Anthony Cucolo, the commander of Multi-National Division-North, Iraq, decided to make pregnancy in a war zone a violation of command policy and threatened his command with court martials for violating that policy. The Left made it about the right to have sex, while the issue was really about making sound choices. Saying “no” is cheap in my experience.<\/p>\n

So show me in the Constitution where it says Americans have a right to expect the government to fund their sexual activities.<\/p>\n

And where are the apologies for members of Congressman Issa’s staff whom he reports have been abused by his ideological opponents, according to the Washington Times<\/a>;<\/p>\n

\u201cMy staff, particularly female staff, have also been the subject of intense and disgusting accusations and insults \u2014 \u2018hag,\u2019 \u2018traitor,\u2019 and numerous references to anatomy have been among the milder expressions hurled over the phone,\u201d Mr. Issa wrote.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Also, according to the Washington Times, Fluke’s whole point was moot, because according to Georgetown spokeswoman, Stacy Kerr, although the University requires students to have healthcare insurance, they’re free to make a choice and purchase other health insurance outside of the University’s policy which could include birth control. But there’s that pesky word “choice” again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
