Sacramento Escorts: On-air Fluke
On-air Fluke
Limbaugh’s remarks hit home
As is widely known by now, Rush Limbaugh’s Feb. 29 on-air comments calling Georgetown University law student Sandra Fluke a “slut” and a “prostitute” for appealing to Congress to make it mandatory that her school’s medical insurance include contraception coverage rattled some cages.
The fury increased the next day when the radio talk-show host insisted that, in return for receiving taxpayer-financed contraception coverage, Fluke “and the rest of you feminazis” should post videos of themselves having sex for the public to watch.
Not only did Limbaugh have his facts wrong—no taxpayer money was involved—his suggestion also poured gasoline on what was already a blazing fire.
Since then more than 50 advertisers and two radio stations have cut ties with Limbaugh, the watchdog group MediaMatters.org reports. However, the folks who operate the Chico AM station that has carried his show for decades, KPAY 1290, have no intentions to remove Limbaugh and say they have seen only a little collateral damage.
