Rush Limbaugh threatens to sue DCCC for mentioning that stuff he says

Well, ick. Oh, Rush Limbaugh. How far you have fallen. The conservative pundit is threatening to sue the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee for a series of fundraising e-mails that suggested Limbaugh was condoning campus rape in comments he made on his widely syndicated program on Sept. 15. He wasn't condoning rape, you see, but you'd be surprised at how often Rush Limbaugh keeps getting broadsided by the unfortunate things that keep burbling out his mouth-hole. According to the DCCC, when discussing the horribleness of campus anti-rape policies Rush said "How many of you guys [...] have learned that 'no' means 'yes' if you know how to spot it?", but what the voice of all conservatism really said was, well, exactly that. But it had context! Damn you non-conservatives, always taking things out of context! “Seduction used to be an art. Now, of course, it’s ‘brutish’ and it’s ‘predatory’ and it’s bad,” he said on the air. Quoting the Ohio State policy, he said, “‘consent must be freely given, and can be withdrawn anytime, and the absence of ‘no’ does not mean ‘yes.’ ”

He then commented, “How many of you guys, in your own experience with women, have learned that ‘no’ means ‘yes’ if you know how to spot it? I’m probably. . . . Let me tell you something, in this modern [world], that is simply, that’s not tolerated. People aren’t even going to try to understand that one. It used to be said as a cliche, it used to be part of the advice young boys were given.”

So now you've got Sex Advice From Rush Limbaugh in your brain and are never going to get it back out again.

Anyway, so Rush Limbaugh, who is apparently still on the radio here and there even after his previous observations on sex and who in America was or was not clearly a slut landed him a ticket on the slow boat to deserved obscurity, has decided that what his brand really needs is a very public airing of his extended further comments on sex and rape and how to properly woo the womenfolk these days.

Works for me. Rush Limbaugh was the voice of all true conservatism for a very long time, a kingmaker who could and would sink any Republican who dared criticize him and whose various conspiratorial fantasies were required elements of any Republican campaign. Have him spend his remaining days suing anyone who still takes note of what he says. That'll work out grand.
