Have You No Shame, Rush?
By MAUREEN DOWD

AS a woman who has been viciously slashed by Rush Limbaugh, I can tell you, it’s no fun.
At first you think, if he objects to the substance of what you’re saying, why can’t he just object to the substance of what you’re saying? Why go after you in the most personal and humiliating way?
Then, once you accept the fact that he has become the puppet master of the Republican Party by stirring bloodlust (earning enough to bribe Elton John to play at his fourth wedding), you still cringe at the thought that your mom might hear the ugly things he said.
Now he’s brutalizing a poised, wholesome-looking 30-year-old Georgetown law student as a “slut,” “a prostitute” and “round-heeled” simply for testifying to lawmakers about wanting the school to amend its health insurance to cover contraception.

Shame on Rush, he said a rude and stupid thing. He has apologized although I do not believe it will be the last time he will say stupid things. Of perhaps greater importance and interest to me is the selective outrage. When another entertainer (the one who just gave Obama’s super PAC $1,000,000) called Palin the “C” word and also called her a “Dumb t___,” I don’t remember liberals expressing outrage nor do I recall seeing coverage of any significance in the ‘major’ media. This is a good example of the double standard that is helping the ‘major’ media fade into irrelevance. Lastly, I understand that Rush has lost some sponsors over the remarks and I for one am delighted that this situation has at least provided proof that the free market does indeed work.
