Do we really want to accept Limbaugh's apology? Really? [View all]

A paragraph full of weasel words and blaming women for not understanding his "humor." First, he is not a comedian and, second, he did not apologize.

PS. I realize he "apologized" to Ms. Fluke at the end, but he owes all women an apology and some acknowledgement that women's health issues matter.
