Have You No Shame, Rush? [View all]

Maureen Dowd's column makes several very valid points:

"Rush and Newt Gingrich can play the studs, marrying again and again until they find the perfect adoring young wife. But women pressing for health care rights are denigrated as sluts."

"Isn’t this the last guy who should be pointing fingers and accusing others of taking pills for recreational purposes?"

My favorite:

"Mitt Romney reacted to Limbaugh for days with craven silence before finally allowing on a rope line on Friday night that “it’s not the language I would have used.” Is there a right way to call a woman a slut?"
