"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. 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."
This guy...
This guy knows his stuff. By saying, "I did not mean a personal attack on Ms. Fluke," he only concedes that while people who expect insurance to cover contraception are irresponsible sexual libertines, he didn't mean Sandra Fluke was one of them.
My hat is off to Mr. Limbaugh. He simply turned his apology into an opportunity to restate his position. I popped the whole statement into Word - it's a total of 192 words. After I deleted the self-serving recap, 34 remained. And the redacted version is heartwarming:
"I chose the wrong words. I did not mean a personal attack on Ms. Fluke. My choice of words was not the best. I sincerely apologize to Ms. Fluke for the insulting word choices."
