Rush started off by joking that his phone line was so busy he couldn't cancel advertising on his own show for Two If By Tea, the product he produces and markets. He then addressed his apology, and his motives. I'll post more, but here is a partial...

Jeffrey Lord (via Instapundit) addresses the attempt to drive away Rush Limbaugh's advertisers, focusing particularly on Carbonite: In other words, to put it politely, Mr. Friend's woe-is-me I'm-withdrawing-my-company's sponsorship-from-Rush Limbaugh-because of-my-lovely-daughters is as close to certifiable BS as one can imagine.

Good for Newt for pushing back against David Gregory. This segment epitomizes almost everything about how the MSM tries to frame the narrative against conservatives and particularly against religious Christians. It actually got worse.

In addition to the line quoted in the title, listen to what Breitbart told him the core of the problem was:  The media. Nothing proves how right Breitbart was as the last few days of complete and utter absurdity regarding Sandra Fluke.  Her testimony should have...

From The Boston Glove via TaxProf (h/t Instapundit): Northeastern University said yesterday that a Chick-fil-A fast-food restaurant will not be...
