Limbaugh's Latest Lunacy

We all know Rush Limbaugh can’t be taken seriously, but his latest attack on college students is unfounded and outrageous.
Here is what he had to say about Al Gore’s cable TV network on his April 12 show:
"When does he start up this stupid little network? August? Yip yip yip yahoo. You know what Gore said about this? It's going to be liberal. It's going to reflect the point of view of young people.”
"What the hell is that, Al? What the hell is the point of view of young people? Blow jobs, that's what they're doing out there. They're out there getting oral sex all day long, that's what they're talking about."
Billboard Radio Monitor has more:
He also referred to Gore's venture as “a BJ network” and “the oral sex channel.
Later in his show Limbaugh apologized, sort of. "I am going to apologize not for saying what I said, but I'm going to apologize if it offended anybody," he said. "I never apologize for what I say, but if some of you were offended by a graphic term involving actions committed by Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky, that have now spread to America’s high schools, I apologize."
"I meant to say 'oral sex' throughout," he went on to say, "but the guttural term escaped my pouty lips in a moment of pure, unbridled passion. The staff was so stunned and so scared today they didn't dare hit the delete button, the deedle button, and so it got out there. My reaction is, somebody go ahead and turn me into the FCC. I'll be honored to be fined. It's just another government agency with its hand in my back pocket, so go right ahead."

Heck, he was probably getting a BJ under his desk as he was on the radio. They are just as guilty as anyone when it comes to adultry.

Will they ever get over Clinton's infidelity?
Are the republicans really attempting to blame this on the democrats in general, and Clinton in
particular?
If the republicans cannot handle Clinton having oral sex, they will never be able to handle their children doing it.
If the republicans would like, they can check their Bibles, but I'm pretty sure even without an example, Adam and Eve managed.
Republicans really believe their kids used Bill Clinton, as an example?
Maybe republican parents, should try living in the FACT BASED COMMUNITY for a while?
When the children of democrats make mistakes, we blame ourselves, not other people.
Republicans should try assuming responsibility for mistakes, instead of blaming others. It builds character.
But seriously, Limbaugh has said things that are simply disgusting. I was most bothered when he said that Abu Ghraib was no worse than a frat prank. As if we needed more proof of that high value on life that the Right claims to hold.
The most dangerous thing about Limbaugh and Hannity is not what they are saying, but rather it's what the people listening aren't thinking, and that's rational thoughts.
Any of Limbaugh or Hannity's statements can be punctured with the truth without breaking a sweat.
But what they do is continue an amazingly misplaced sense of victimization among the radical, Christian, conservative elements of society that listen to them. This causes them to lash out much in the way teenage angst causes rebellion, only this group's actions literally have life and death consequences.
Oh, and is the other gov't agency in Rush's back pocket the Food and Drug Administration? Maybe people who say that drug users should be thrown in jail shouldn't become addicted to painkillers.
