What about you, Rush?

At this point, it's Rush Limbaugh vs. Women. Maybe not all women, especially those fundamentally against contraception, but let's say a vast majority of women are not too happy with Mr. Rush Limbaugh. Why, might you ask, am I, and so many other women angry with him? 



Limbaugh on the left, and Fluke on the right. 
Well, as you probably know, Limbaugh called Sandra Fluke a "SLUT" and a "PROSTITUTE" for testifying in front of a panel, pushing for contraceptives to be included in health care coverage. This is the same Rush Limbaugh that has BEEN MARRIED 4 TIMES! Really Rush? Really? Are all women that simply want to control when they get pregnant "sluts" and "prostitutes?" How come a man can't be called either of those two words? How come you, a man who has by my guesses engaged in premarital sex and/or extramarital sex, call a well-educated women these things? 


And it gets worse, believe it or not. His apology, after backing his statements again days before is the following:
"In this instance, I chose the wrong words in my analogy of the situation. I did not mean a personal attack on Ms. Fluke."

In what way is singling out a woman and calling her a "slut" and a "prostitute," not a "personal attack." I can't seem to think of another instance that is more of a "personal attack."  

What do you think of this story? In what ways does this make you question the use of the word "slut?"
