I have been exchanging e-mails with a friend. We discussed, among other things, Rush Limbaugh’s now infamous comments<\/a> on Sandra Fluke.<\/p>\n

In response to comparisons of Limbaugh to some of the vile comments made by left-wing personalities like Bill Maher in the past (who called, for instance, Sarah Palin a ‘cunt’), I said this:<\/p>\n

“I also note that Limbaugh’s rant went way beyond the use of an offensive word: he discussed Susan [sic!] Fluke’s sexual habits repeatedly and in detail, and once he was done demonstrating his complete ignorance on the topic of birth-control drugs (no, the amount of birth control pills consumed is not related to the amount of sex a person has, he must have confused it with the pills he takes for sex; and no, Fluke was not discussing recreational use of birth control pills but specifically their widespread use to treat serious gynecological conditions) he actually asked her publicly to make a porn video of her sexual activities. And, unlike the liberal comedians mentioned (who are, after all, comedians) Limbaugh did this in all seriousness. If I had been in Fluke’s place, I’d have called Limbaugh a lecherous, drug-addled dirty old pig.\u00a0Fluke was more of a lady than I am a gentleman, I guess.”<\/p>\n

And then I realized that I should not be ashamed of my words. Instead of saying what I should do in Fluke’s place, let me just do it, plain and simple:<\/p>\n

In my opinion, Limbaugh is a lecherous, drug-addled dirty old pig.<\/p>\n<\/fb:like>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
