Hell, he compared women's reproductive health to sneakers in the "apology" and we all know what they smell like once they've been used.

Limbaugh talks a lot but he is capable of parsing his language carefully, in a Clintonian manner you might say, the sneaker reference was carefully calculated and slipped very much under the radar.
