Just 29% Believe Limbaugh Apology Was Sincere

Tuesday, March 13, 2012

Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh’s recent comments about a female Georgetown University law student who argued in support of the Obama administration's contraception mandate sparked controversy and caused some advertisers to quit his show. Yet while most voters are critical of Limbaugh's comments, they are evenly divided over whether talk show hosts in general have a responsibility to not offend anyone.


A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of Likely Voters shows that only 29% believe Limbaugh’s apology for his recent comments was sincere. Fifty-three percent (53%) do not think his apology was sincere, and another 18% are undecided.

1. Even rASSmussen cannot stretch the truth far enough to make LimBloat look good

I've grown accustomed to see a figure - usually somewhere in the mid to high twenties that represents the 'backwash' (first identified by Stephen Colbert right in the face of GWB) who cannot be dissuaded from whatever loony RW fantasies they harbor).

2. It's always 29%.

Seems like that number came up a lot during the Bush administration.

3. 29 percent is really close to the number of people in this country that are mentally ill.

just sayin.
