Jerk / Media Rush Limbaugh Says His Big Problem Is That He Talked Like a Liberal
Posted by Paul Constant on Mon, Mar 5, 2012 at 11:59 AM
Here's Rush's latest foot-in-mouth problem, via Swampland and The Page:
In fighting [the left] I became like them. Against my own instincts, against my own knowledge against everything I know to be right and wrong, I descended to their level when I used those two words to describe Sandra Fluke. That was my error...and I feel very badly about that.
Later in the show, Limbaugh used the whole thing as a pivot to explain why he thinks Democrats should apologize to him. There's a running transcript over at Business Insider.
