To read Limbaugh's mewling apologia is to peek under the veneer of humanity and behold the rabid humanoid underneath. The notorious shock jock whimpered that the things he said to Ms. Fluke - insults flung not impulsively but repeatedly, over several days, and with increasing vulgarity - were somehow dragged out of him "against my own instincts, against my own knowledge, against everything I know to be right and wrong," by the left! This breathtaking leap of wingnuttery is simply dumbfounding.
Rush's mouth opens. Filthy lies spew out. You can't explain that.
Sometimes, one can only stare at stuff like this in shocked disbelief, but I would like to take a moment to say - Oh no you don't, you vile bottom-feeder! How dare this unprincipled slimeball suggest that his disgusting actions were the fault of anyone but himself? How predictably cynical and typically political of him to try to shift the spotlight which revealed his repugnant immorality off onto the (invisible, mysteriously oligarchical - yet oddly impotent!) left. The unmitigated gall of the scoundrel!
Limbaugh howled incoherently for half an hour attempting to placate the sponsors who continue to pay for the vitriolic effusions that passes for programming in some media circles. In the course of his raving, he whined about his victimization by the left and somewhere in there, he also mentioned that his mistake was in using "those two words" to "describe" Ms. Fluke.
I suppose the burning question now is: in the context of his rant against the rights of women in general - and Ms. Fluke in particular - to have affordable access to contraception, what other words did Rush Limbaugh actually intend to use? If the problem was simply two poor word choices, what substitutes come to mind now that cooler heads prevail? Gee, I wonder. But, I won't hold my breath for an answer to that one.

Seriously, WTF?
