41. Here is the reply I got from KFI

As you will see Limbaugh is offerring a non apology apology.

Dear Listener,

KFI is committed to providing its listeners with access to a broad range of
opinion and commentary without condoning or agreeing with the opinions, comments
or attempts at humor expressed by on-air talent. The contraception debate is one
that sparks strong emotion and opinions on both sides of the issue. We respect
the right of Mr. Limbaugh, as well as the rights of those who disagree with him,
to express those opinions.

Please share your comments with the Public Relations department at Premiere
Networks, who will relay them to the Producers of the show. They can be reached
at [e-mail] or 818-461-5750. You can also call Mr. Limbaugh
during his show at 1-800-282-2882.

Mr. Limbaugh has released this statement.

"For over 20 years, I have illustrated the absurd with absurdity, three hours a
day, five days a week. In this instance, I chose the wrong words in my analogy
of the situation. I did not mean a personal attack on Ms. Fluke. I think it is
absolutely absurd that during these very serious political times, we are
discussing personal sexual recreational activities before members of Congress. I
personally do not agree that American citizens should pay for these social
activities. What happened to personal responsibility and accountability? Where
do we draw the line? If this is accepted as the norm, what will follow? Will we
be debating if tax payers should pay for new sneakers for all students that are
interested in running to keep fit? In my monologue, I posited that it is not our
business whatsoever to know what is going on in anyone's bedroom nor do I think
it is a topic that should reach a Presidential level. My choice of words was not
the best, and in the attempt to be humorous, I created a national stir. I
sincerely apologize to Ms. Fluke for the insulting word choices."
