Do we really want to accept Limbaugh's apology? Really?

[Skidmore]

A paragraph full of weasel words and blaming women for not understanding his "humor." First, he is not a comedian and, second, he did not apologize.

PS. I realize he "apologized" to Ms. Fluke at the end, but he owes all women an apology and some acknowledgement that women's health issues matter.

1. I don't accept it.

And I will boycott any of the sponsors that dropped him but decide to sponsor him again.

2. He persisted along the same line for days.

He only regrets having lost several of his advertisers. Kudos to those who called and emailed with their messages of resentment of Limbaugh's words. The only way he feels pain and takes notice is in his wallet. Well done all.

3. No

He said it and he meant it. His apology is only because his advertisers are pulling out of his show. He attacked ALL WOMEN.

4. Did he say he was wrong?

I haven't read the whole thing.

[Skidmore]

6. He didn't say he was wrong, just that he

chose words poorly and was misunderstood. We still need to be holding his feet to the fire.

[OhioChick]

5. The only reason he released that statement was because he was losing advertisers n/t

[bluestateguy]

7. They didn't accept Richard Durbin's blubbering apology on the floor of the Senate

nor should we.

8. He should also apologize to the porcine species for giving them a bad name

9. Frankly if your goal is to stay in your job, apologizing never works...

Whether Democrat or Republican, from Trent Lott to Anthony Weiner, once your blood is in the water, the other party is relentless until you're gone. They want you to have the shame of apologizing to a national audience, then they'll still make sure u go.

That's 2012 politics.

10. Has to be at the mic and even then NO

he needs to apologize for himself

[immoderate]

11. Never crossed my mind.

He knows that's not an apology. He's playing us. He's going for "more riled up."

12. Rush has engaged in hate speech against women for years

So no, I don't accept his fake apology.

[underpants]

13. NO

[nolabear]

14. It's the classic abuser apology

and any woman (or man) who believes for one instant that he's sorry and that he won't do it again the first chance he thinks he can get away from it is a fool.

[backscatter712]

15. Fuck no, we should not stop until he's fired, blackballed and bankrupted. n/t

[gulliver]

16. He tripled down. He can't apologize now.

And the only reason he is apologizing is because he is about to lose all of his advertising.

[malaise]

17. He only apologized because it was hurting

him and RETHUGS and it was beyond insincere.

Fugg him!

[NightOwwl]

18. It's not about accepting or not accepting.

Let it play out. He screwed himself and he knows it. He's stunned that he lost his biggest sponsors - so for him to even consider an apology means he is running scared.

[loyalsister]

19. I see nothing satisfying in it to begin with

It's not as if it's going to change his beliefs. He may be slightly more cautious with his rhetoric, but he will continue to appease and encourage the RW.

[Brigid]

20. What apology?

That was NOT an apology.

[Rex]

21. Accept an apology from a man that worships satan?

No thanks.

[Old Codger]

22. Not

No way was that an apology, that was the sound of a pig squealing because he got something stuck in a crack and it is hurting him, my hope is that the crack gets tighter.
He is nothing but a lying pile of used food.
