Rush Limbaugh apologizes to Sandra Fluke for ‘slut’ jibe - (on a Saturday, on his website)

31. I know it is good manners to accept an apology

but in this case, since the apology is based on the threat to his financial status and not on any heart-felt compassion for the results of his hurtful labels, there is no need to accept it.

This is generally how bullies operate -- they are as offensive as possible and when called on their behavior, they claim it was a joke or having misspoken or been misunderstood. IOW, they never take responsibility for what they have done. Mr. (and I use the title with as little respect as I can muster) Limbaugh has no sense of decency, is not at all amusing, and isn't in the least enlightening. He IS however, an odious individual who should not shame the country with his continued presence on our public airways.

I'm pleased to note that his sponsors have some sense of decency and have withdrawn their advertising dollars which seems to threaten Mr. Limbaugh more than anything else.
