In reply to the discussion: Rush Limbaugh apologizes to Sandra Fluke for ‘slut’ jibe - (on a Saturday, on his website) [View all]TrollBuster9090

Absolutely. Screw his non-apology apology, hidden in the fine print on his website. Continue to boycott his advertisers until he gets fired. Although that's not likely to happen, we should, in the end, "settle" for him apologizing on the air. Not hidden in his website, since we all know that none of his listeners can actually READ.
