After watching about 5 mins of Anderson Cooper cover this and play the video clips; I will say that Rush made himself look like an idiot.
But is this seriously more important than millions out of work, foreclosures, runaway inflation, the national debt and high gas prices? Not at all. The media is just having a field day with this.
Their message is: The GOP = Rush = Calling Women Sluts. The media is pushing this story to the front to because there are votes to be had from this incident. Rush teed this one up for them and I hate that he did. He knows better. Again, he's an emotional type of guy and I think he got caught up in the heat of the moment and said something dumb. Almost certain he regrets it too.
BTW, NBC host Ed Schultz called conservative woman Laura Ingram a slut......and......nothing. No coverage of it, no call from Obama to Laura....nothing.
