Talk Radio "What a Slut"

When Georgetown Law School student Sandra Fluke was supposed to testify as a democratic witness to discuss the new contraception rule in front of a congressional committee, Rush Limbaugh's exact words were "Can you imagine if you were her parents how proud would you be? Your daughter testifies she's having so much sex she can't afford her own birth control pills and she wants President Obama to provide them, or the Pope. What does it say about the college co-ed Sandra Fluke who goes before a congressional committee and essentially says that she must be paid to have sex- what does that make her? It makes her a slut, right? It makes her a prostitute." Seeing as most advertising demographics are geared at woman between the ages pf 20-50, Limbaugh's comment towards the 30 year old Law student provoked his support from advertisers to drop like flies. The last count of dropped advertisements was over 2 dozen, including major brands such as AOL and Allstate, forcing Limbaugh to issue a public apology, a rare phenomenon. He explained "My choice of words was not the best, and in an attempt to be humorous, I created a national stir". But for Fluke, that was not enough. She says "I don't think that a statement like this issued changes anything, and especially when the statement is issued when he's under significant pressure from his sponsors who have begun to pull their support." But with 15 million weekly listeners and on nearly 600 stations across America, Limbaugh is hard to take down.
