House Speaker John Boehner distanced himself on Friday from Rush Limbaugh, calling the conservative radio host's words toward a women's rights advocate "inappropriate."

Amid a growing media firestorm over comments Wednesday by Limbaugh toward Sandra Fluke, a Georgetown Law student who testified before a Democratic panel on the use of contraception, Washington's top Republicans said through a spokesman that Limbaugh was wrong.

"The speaker obviously believes the use of those words was inappropriate, as is trying to raise money off the situation," Boehner spokesman Michael Steel said in a statement.

The comment refers to Democratic fundraising efforts related to Limbaugh's comments, in which he called Fluke a "slut." Fluke had been asked to testify about the policy of Georgetown University, a Catholic college, toward covering contraception for students. Her testimony came amid a controversy in Washington in recent weeks regarding the extent to which religious institutions should be required to cover contraceptive services as part of their insurance policies, despite moral objectives to contraception.

1. Republicans were told to disown the remark and THEY CAVED!

WE...ARE...WINNING!

3. I don't know. How long before Limbaugh makes him scream his safe word and Boner walks it

back?

[Enrique]

6. im guessing 6 pm

for a clarification from Boehner

13. Do you think Limbaugh makes them wear a special costume when he calls wayward Republicans

out on the carpet?

Like a Cub Scout uniform or something?

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

15. IMHO they should just be done with it and come out in full gimp gear. nt

[Ikonoklast]

17. "John, you have been very, very naughty yet once again!"

"MMMmmmmmMmphhh!"

[Enrique]

2. according to the normal schedule

Rush will attack Boehner today, and Boehner will apologize to Rush this evening.

4. We both posted more or less the same thing at the same time. ^____^ nt

[Fawke Em]

7. LOL, me three!

See below.

10. He'll hold a press conference bawling his orange ass out and he'll say something about the

American Dream.

[Siwsan]

8. You are probably right, unfortunately

I really, REALLY want to hear someone hold their ground against that fetid lump of cells.

I can't imagine what their reaction would be if anyone to the left of them said anything even remotely as offensive.

[Fawke Em]

5. Hope Boehner doesn't turn around and apologize

for calling out the true leader of the Republican Party next week.

11. No longer a two party system.

The Democratic Party, the Corporate Party, and the FOX News/Rush Limbaugh Party.

Boehner isn't quite sure of which one to respond to. Every talking point must be excruciatingly calculated.

[Ikonoklast]

9. Uh-oh, looks like John the Weeper will get called onto the carpet for that little transgression.

Limbaugh will be fulminating over that one.

[WI_DEM]

12. yeah, that's really telling him! pretty weak if you ask me.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

14. Couldn't Boner speak for himself just this once, instead of going through a spokesman?

Or is he too drunk today?

[Swede]

16. Meany!

[maxrandb]

18. Hey John

calling your wife or daughter a "loose woman" might be "inappropriate". Calling them a "slut and a prostitute" is deplorable and despicable.

[ladywnch]

19. boner knows better than to make comments against Limbaugh, that's why he uses flunkies to

make such comments. He gets 'credit' for 'denouncing' Rush without having to dirty himself of incur Rush's rath.


typical.

[HopeHoops]

20. Oh yeah, that's just SO denouncing it.

[wandy]

21. Oh, if you think you've seen the orange boner shed crocodile tears before...

Wait till the leader of the republican party, the bull elephant in chief, the man with the oxycontin balls, gets done with him.
That will make the bugger's eyes water.
