Romney slams Limbaugh on Sandra Fluke comments.

[denem]

"I'll just say this, which is, it's not the language I would have used. I'm focusing on the issues I think are significant in the country today, and that's why I'm here talking about jobs and Ohio."

Democratic Strategists applaud Romney's stand.

- "Now, that's leadership" - Stephanie Cutter
- "Wow. Profiles in Courage" - David Axelrod

1. Get'm Mr Axelrod

[Pab Sungenis]

2. And his remaining conservative supporters abandon Rmoney.

Sad that doing the right thing can be a fatal mistake for a Republican.

[DCKit]

3. "Now, that's leadership" - Stephanie Cutter

OMG, the hilarity!

She must've seen something in his mom-jeans that just totally threw her off her game.

[snagglepuss]

4. "slams"? His statement can hardly be called a slam. In fact

he doesn't take issue with what Limbaugh said, he simply doesn't like how Limbaugh said it.

11. hint sarcasm

[snagglepuss]

12. Ooooops

[csziggy]

20. Maybe the OP needed this icon

[snagglepuss]

21. lol

[Arneoker]

22. More like an oh so delicate brush against the hand.

5. Limbaugh WORKS for Romney.

It is not only the Bain -> Clear Channel -> Limbaugh financial accountability.


But Romney was Limbaugh's "true conservative" in 2008, a fact that the GOP spin machine ignores in their creation of the 2012 fictitious narrative.

[Paladin]

7. And Romney WORKS For Limbaugh.

The present-day Republican leadership consists of a bunch of pasty-faced white guys, perpetually waiting in line to kiss Limbaugh's ass, over and over. There's nothing that Pig Boy can do or say that will make the Republicans walk away from him---too much money involved.....

[Lex]

15. This is it.

They are afraid of Rush trashing them to his sheeple so they don't speak ill of him EVER.

[TheCowsCameHome]

6. Wow! A real profile in courage.

Thanks for nothing, Mitt.

[meow2u3]

8. Romney would call her a "working girl"

Either that, or an "escort."

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

17. Or, a "trollop," "bawd," or "lady of the evening."

He would never utter such a low-class word as "slut." Sluts are for peasants.

[surrealAmerican]

9. Well, he can speak French.

Some sentiments just seem more poetic in another language.

[yellowcanine]

10. Slams? Not really. "I'll just say this, which is, it's not the language I would have used."

milquetoast and mild disagreement is more like it. He criticizes the language, not the content. So if Rush had said "loose woman" or " "prostitute" maybe he would have been ok with it?

[polichick]

13. My thoughts exactly.

[Lex]

14. It was sarcasm.

What the OP posted was sarcasm.

When Axelrod says "profiles in courage" that was sarcasm too.

[Texas-Limerick]

16. I'm siding with Rush on this one.

Because I've known he was a righteous guy ever since he said he reserved Saturday nights for LDS films over at Clarence Thomas' house.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

18. Does this mean he would have used even more insulting and cruder language?

His failure to condemn and his vague comment leaves it completely open to that interpretation.

[donheld]

19. That's a light tap on the wrist not a slam
