Left is Right and Right is Wrong
Mar. 5th, 2012 11:38 amOne of the headlines in today's news is about how many of Rush Limbaugh's sponsors are abandoning him in the wake of his recent scandal. His apology, clearly crafted by his lawyers and quite certainly insincere, seems to have little effect on the buzz. Anyway, here's my thing -- I'm glad that he's losing corporate support over his latest bullshit fountain, but also, who do those sponsors think they're fooling? Yeah, he crossed a MAJOR line, but this particular set of words is not exactly out of line with anything else he's ever said. He's always espoused the same "values" -- it's not like the sponsors are only just now realizing what a complete piece of shit he is and stepping down at the first sign of his questionable content. Like, fuck you, Limbaugh sponsors. It's always been clear what Rush is and what he stands for, and if you ever supported him before, it's clear that you stand for everything that makes my stomach turn. Yeah, it's right to withdraw your support, but you were already guilty when you gave it to him in the first place. This saves no more face than Rush's own badly scripted "apology."
