On Rush and a Slut

>> Usagi looks at himself approvingly, having finally figured a good, legitimate way to work the word "slut" in the title! <<

 Recently, THE radio talk show host of all time, Rush Limbaugh, caused a national stir when he called a slut a slut. Seriously, the person of interest, Sandra Fluke, looked so very out of place when she demanded that the government (or somebody) pay for her birth control. Rush called her on that.

People, when I need more ammo to shoot, I do not get on national TV and demand the government pay for it. I work, earn money, and use that money to buy more ammo.

So, naturally, the media clamored to attack Rush. Some imprudent advertisers withdrew their ads on Rush's radio show (big mistake), and in the end, Rush apologized for using words that could be seen as a personal attack on Fluke herself.

Funny things, though:
- Rush still has the #1 show on radio.
- Rush will have other advertisers. Probably has them lining up to advertise with him.
- The companies that withdrew advertising are suffering from that decision.
- The media looks as silly as ever.
- Fluke will be forgotten in another, oh, 15 minutes or so.
- Rush will go on.


(still considering high-fiving myself for the use of "slut" in the title!)
