On Sunday, several pundits said they were dismayed by Rush Limbaugh’s incendiary
comments about Sandra Fluke, as well as Republicans for not repudiating his remarks more strongly.
Limbaugh sparked outrage when he called Sandra Fluke, a Georgetown law student who was not allowed to speak at a contraception hearing, “a slut” and “a prostitute.” He continued to fan the flames the next day, and piled on even more inflammatory remarks two days after. Several advertisers pulled their commercials from his show. In a rare move, Limbaugh apologized for his comments on Saturday.
The controversy was a hot topic of political conversation on Sunday. Speaking on ABC News’ “This Week,” Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan called Limbaugh’s remarks “crude, rude, even piggish,” and “deeply destructive and unhelpful.”
Panelist George Will went further, blasting Republicans for what he said was an inadequate response to the controversy. He said that House Speaker John Boehner’s use of the word “inappropriate” to describe Limbaugh’s language was more fitting for “using the salad fork for your entrée.”
“And it was depressing because what it indicates is that the Republican leaders are afraid of Rush Limbaugh,” Will alleged. “They want to bomb Iran, but they’re afraid of Rush Limbaugh.”
