Rush Limbaugh’s Fourth Wife Threatens To Walk Away Over “Slut” Controversy

Many women on the left and right have gone on the offensive against ultra-conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh over his Sandra Fluke “slut ” comment and one of those women is alleged to be his fourth wife.
According to a report from the National Enquirer Limbaugh’s wife told the 61-year-old talk show host to tone back his attack against Fluke and other birth control using women or she’ll walk out on him.
Limbaugh has lost nearly 150 advertisers since he made the comment and he’s come under attack by various media outlets for his disrespectful comment.
Rush’s 35-year-old wife Kathryn, a Florida event planner is apparently being bombarded for her husbands disrespect. According to a family friend:
“Kathryn is fit to be tied. She feels as if she’s being tarred and feathered with the same brush that people are using on her husband. She really let him have it.”
That family source adds:
“She said she’s become a social pariah because of his hot-headed, heedless comments and warned him in no uncertain terms that he’d better keep his trap shut and stop using words like ‘slut’ for any woman!”
If the source is telling the truth they also revealed that Rush is more worried about alienating his wife then he is about sticking to his guns.
According to the insider:
“Rush couldn’t face life without her.”
Whether or not Rush Limbaugh will shut up at his wife’s request is still to be unseen.
Do you think Kathryn will be able to silence Rush Limbaugh’s slut tirade?

Rush is using his wife to gain sympathy, especially from women. One has to wonder what it's costing him.
Mar 16, 2012
Can't believe she married him.
Mar 16, 2012
This story is a lie.
Mar 16, 2012
I think it is totally disgusting that she would turn on her husband that way. He apologized. That is more than I can say for the left. They never apologize. I am sorry but she should stand by him. He is being slammed. He needs her more than ever right now.

True fan there calling the truth a lie….
Mar 16, 2012
Why would any intelligent woman marry Rush Limbaugh? Did she live under a rock before she met him?
Mar 16, 2012
That does beg the question, Jane. Opposites atrack, two of a kind, whatever. Just sayin'!
Mar 16, 2012
If this is true, is she angry because she's being hurt socially and in her business? Perhaps people don't want an event planner married to a loudmouth sexist? Why would she marry this jerk? Can't be for his looks or personality.
Mar 16, 2012
Good for her. Apologies don't cut it, the cat was out of the bag and that can't be taken back – just try and put toothpaste back in the tube. I could never support anyone who could so recklessly tear apart another human being. The shame is that this is how he really thinks, and happily he's losing support.
Mar 16, 2012
I can't imagine why he's on wife number 4…….
Mar 16, 2012
he didnt apologize for outright lying about the content of her testimony. He slandered her. Her testimony was not about her sex life nor anyothers. Caliing her a slut (which he did apologize for) isnt even what he did that was wrong. So there was not any apology to accept. Whne he apologies for the total mischaraterization he did, maybe folks will listen. until then… nah.
Mar 16, 2012
why would you marry a total idiot old enough to be your father anyway.
Mar 16, 2012
He's a hater, a bigot, and a BULLY. Guess this opened her eyes, good.
Mar 16, 2012
I don't believe this story anymore than I believe anything Limballs say's.
Mar 16, 2012
he's getting what he deserves. i hope it continues long enough for him to finally crawl back under whatever rock he crawled out of.
Mar 16, 2012
Money?
Mar 16, 2012
I would like to know how this rag got on my FB page. I did not and would not click like for this page.
Mar 16, 2012
Debbie Woodsmall Smith shallow
Mar 16, 2012
I am sorry but any woman who thinks others need to pay for her to have sex is a SLUT! You may not like the fact that he said it on TV but still doesn't change the fact!!!!
Mar 16, 2012
She married him. She knew what she was getting into. Too bad. Now that it's reflecting back on her, she's unhappy? Really? This is what it took? I guess she's going to have to think about whether this is what she wants in life. He's never going to change – will always be a bigot, racist and egomaniacal blowhard.
Mar 16, 2012
Seriously? You cite the National Enquirer as if it's a reliable source? Seriously?
Mar 16, 2012
Dont get me wrong I am not a Rush fan but he has every right to say what he thinks. They even applaud some Democrats for doing the same thing….Looks like its ok for some and not for others….
Mar 16, 2012
Stand by your man works in a Tammy Wynette song, but not in the real world. He is three time divorced, so 3 other women got married to this troll.
Mar 16, 2012
I think it's obvious that she's the slut he talks about – she married him for his money and his "power". You reap what you sow.
Mar 16, 2012
Chuck Stillman I'm sure that must be it! All I can say is that for me, there's no way he could have enough money to have to wake up and look at that every morning!
Mar 16, 2012
It's one thing to say what you think to friends and associates, everyone has the right to say what they think. It's another to use the power of the media to blast the hell out of a woman on a public forum. Any personality who has spoken boldly has to be accountable for the words that come out of their mouths. And if in fact he was right in what he said, then why did he apologize. If he felt he was right he never should have apologized.
Mar 16, 2012
@ Linda What the hell is wrong with you! Stand by your man crap, Its woman like you that gives all a BAD name. You call that an apology? He didn't even have the guts to say it himself. Im glad she gave him an choice. He is a loud mouth pig, a bigot and a loser in the marriage department. If she was really smart she would run for the hills and never look back.
Mar 16, 2012
i'm wondering the same thing. and to cite the national enquirer as their source. i remember when the national enquirer had an article about obama being seen coming out of a motel/hotel where he had met up with a woman. must be true!
Mar 16, 2012
I must have read an article by them in the past which got them on my page, too. I mean, "…have went…" is such excellent grammar, you can assume that only the functionally illiterate work on this web site.
Mar 16, 2012
Oyy. Her decision. She found his behavior completely against her own beliefs. He can stand on his own two legs and face the consequences. As far as I can see, for wife number four, she owes him nothing.
Mar 16, 2012
"National Inquirer" Now there's a reliable source. What does Globe and the other checkout lane rags have to say about it? This is what you call getting to the bottom of it! ROTFLMAO
Mar 16, 2012
Randy Redstone figure if he calls other women sluts then wonder what he calls his wife lol
Mar 16, 2012
Don't you find it interesting that you cannot turn on a news station without hearing about this, but when Maher called Palin the 'C' word, not a peep, and when Shultz called Ingraham a slut, all we heard were crickets….hypocrisy is everywhere, but none more blatant than the liberal media!! Who in the media, except Fox, has even mentioned that he apologized? He said he was sorry he acted like those on the left, what more do they want?
As for his wife, if it is even true that she is 'turning' on him, it only proves she was a gold digger and not worthy of being anyone's wife.
Mar 16, 2012
SOME THING I LEARNED LONG AGO IS THAT YOU DON'T PISS OFF THE COOK!
Mar 16, 2012
Stop lying. Of course the left apologizes all the time, too much in my opinion. Look at Anthony Weiner; if he'd been a Republican he wouldn't have resigned at all. Now look at someone like David Vitter. The guy gets caught using prostitutes and does that stop him? Nope. Any Republican outcry? Nope. Look at Obama; he took the time to sit down for a beer with Officer Gates from Cambridge. Someone like Bush or Reagan would NEVER have done that. And Rush's apology was a bunch of crap and you know it. He apologizes for using "two words" but proceeds to reinforce every single sentiment he expressed, day in and day out. He's a hypocrite and so are you if you keep spouting this "liberals never apologize" nonsense.
Mar 16, 2012
I think its more disgusting to have a husband that would talk about women that way. Why should she comfront him? He's having that media backlash because he's an idiot and says stupid things. Apologies are a dime a dozen and Rush has been that position before apologizing for stupid crap hes said. I'm glad she reacted the way she did
Mar 16, 2012
Katrina Simmons are u serious? u r gonna go the route ..well a democrat can say what they want? PLEASE!!! Cant u just comment on the article in front of u instead of trying to do a well they did so we can!!!
Mar 16, 2012
nothing wrong with being on #4!!!!
Mar 16, 2012
@ Linda Heath > Where do you get the idea that "the left" never apollogize? I'm "left" and I just had to apollogize to the love in my life this morning for making a comment about a friend of "ours", that gave me 1 kiss…..40 years ago, without thinking about how it would make my girl feel. We all make mistakes, my problem comes from OCD. I sometimes speak without thinking. Sometimes even what we consider to be just rhetoric, or some harmless verbalism, can be hurtful to others.
What Limbaugh did may have been just a disgusting action to play to his listeners, or it may have been an OCD thing like mine. But the fact is, once you say something, you can't take it back. And he had no consideration for that lady he called a slut, or the millions of other women, that by his words felt personal indignation.
I didn't hear what he said, because I never listen to his poison or that of people like O'Reilly, Beck, Hannity or G. Gordon Liddy. Personally I think that their listeners all have a serious problem. All they seem to to is spew division and hate in our country. But when you take to the public airwaves with uncontrolled attacks on people for causes and/or profit, you had better be right. Because your feet will be held to the fire for your comments.
Mar 16, 2012
Katrina Simmons – Name one Democrat you has used the words "slut" or "whore" when speaking about PRIVATE CITIZENS or anyone else. Name one Democrat who demanded that a woman make sex tapes and post them on the internet so that "we can all get our monies worth". How you can possibly defend the comments of this convicted drug smuggler is beyond me?
Mar 16, 2012
Katrina Simmons : Rush LIED! He slandered Ms Fluke. He totally mischaracterized her testimony. Thats not saying "what he thinks" it is slander. He is going to be sued so hard he will be broke.
Mar 16, 2012
The disgusting part is imagining the two of them in bed.
Mar 16, 2012
Randy Redstone The Star said his dog won't play fetch with him.
Mar 16, 2012
Katrina Simmons Give me one example of where any Democrat slammed a non-public individual with such vicious horrible slander, plus it was all a lie. He couldn't have seen her testimony before he slammed her, it had nothing to do with what he was saying, have you even watched her testimony?
It is sad that there are women who think this is okay, on both sides. Keeping politics out of it, no woman should be called this by anyone.
Mar 16, 2012
I say look at yourself in the mirror before you all become the Judge and Jury of everyone else.

Mar 16, 2012
Maybe it is because he is a closet homosexual, and before you all get riled up, I have nothing against Gays and Lesbians, I support them all the way. But a college friend of his was on the other night, saying he and Rush had a brief affair. He couldn't come out in the open because we know how many Republicans feel about Gays. It would hurt his show, and there goes the money.
Mar 16, 2012
I can't imagine why she married him in the first place. Ok, I can, all that money, but I couldn't have done it for any amount of money.
Mar 16, 2012
Katrina Simmons Really? So it would be A-OK if someone came and called you one? In front of everyone? Just because they have the "right"? Regardless of who he is, he does NOT have the right to call any woman that.
Mar 16, 2012
I hope it's true, but I wouldn't bet a nickel on anything reported by the National Enquirer.
Mar 16, 2012
Rush has apologized which is more that Maher and his liberal bunch do. I don't like anyone calling names. Let's not lose sight of the fact that Ms. Fluke is not what she says she is.
Mar 16, 2012
your being Rushyyyyyyyyyy!!!
Mar 16, 2012
I would definately hold my own and would seriously have a word with him regarding such foolish remarks. However, I would not threaten to leave my Husband over this. Not ever.

Kimberly Smith Stone and then imagine having to LISTEN to that loudmouth spew crap all day every day!
Mar 16, 2012
He only apologized because he has advertisers leaving him in droves. That's the only thing that matters to him. Also, whatever you are referring to when you say Ms. Fluke is "not what she says she is," so that makes it okay to say the things he said? If you're willing to tolerate that crap from a man because he doesn't agree with your stance, that doesn't say much about you as a woman.
Mar 16, 2012
He is a bigot – as are the people who support him.
Mar 16, 2012
Sxrx Wynsett And just how do you know Rush lied???? Ms. Fluke is unmarried and has sex with multiple partners and wants the american tax payers to pay for birth control. Abstinance is free….Ms. Fluke is the one who put herself out there and exposed herself for others to form an opinion of her. This is not slander by any means. It is the opinion of one individual about another. Just have you formed an opinion of Mr. Limbaugh
Mar 16, 2012
MONEY>>>>>>$$$$$$$$$$$$
Mar 16, 2012
I am sure Rush's wife knew how he was when she married him, outspoken and used words for the shock value. I don't think he needed to use the Slut to get his point accross, but I don't think that the government she pay for birth control, but insurance companies should. I get what he was trying to say, but he didn't use good ajetives. His wife should not stand for being accused for what he did. Stand by your man…

Katrina Simmons We all have a right to say what we think, but we're sure gonna get some blowback if we say stupid, slanderous stuff like Limbaugh
Mar 16, 2012
So, you think it's ok to say stupid, slanderous, untrue stuff like that?
Mar 16, 2012
Patty Tierney I agree with you, I wouldn't believe anything from the National Inquirer. We really don't know how his wife feels, but that doesn't change what he said. And none of what he said, is what she testified to, so all of that was a lie. And he doesn't know if she has had sex or not, she mostly talked about birth control being used for other medical purposes and why it should be covered, and you would think 98% of women and men would agree with her. That would be like me saying, I don't want to pay for blood pressure medicine, or dialysis, or cancer treatments, or blood transfusions. When in fact insurance would be paying it, not the taxpayers. So in my opinion that makes his point moot. But to call a non-public figure or anyone names like that is beyond callus, and it is reprehensible.
Mar 16, 2012
What is Ms. Fluke in your opinion? Did you see her testimony?
Mar 16, 2012
Patty Tierney didn't National Enquirer run the story about "Rat Boy," too?
Mar 16, 2012
Tracy Goings He most certainly did say it with his own mouth. I listen every day and HE apologized with his own mouth on the air. Whereas Maher REFUSED to apologize.
Mar 16, 2012
Katrina Simmons , He can say what he thinks, but so can we. His sponsors have the right to leave his show if their customers are offended or if they and their families are offended.
Mar 16, 2012
Free speech has responsibilities and words have consequences. Not just for the people that said them but for those married to them. Perhaps his wife can reign in the guy- he's acting pretty childish. What is even worse than him calling someone a slut, is the fact he thought Fluke's sexual activities should be videotaped… who would want to be married to something like that… yes, I said thing.
Mar 16, 2012
Katrina Simmons Free speech has responsibilities and words have consequences. How about a little civility.
Mar 16, 2012
Then she deserves to be smeared by the same broad brush, just like any advertisers that stick around. If she can't be woman enough to have her own opinion and speak it, then she must condone the bullying… whether she does or not. Yes, it will cross over into her professional life.
Mar 16, 2012
Brenda Burd If you would read insted of accuse you would see that I did comment on the artical! I never said it was ok for either side to do it I just said the media covers it more when a Rep. does it than a Dem. NEITHER side is blameless when it comes to mud throwing. I find it real funny that you came to the defense of the Democratic party but not the FIRST amendment rights of ALL people…me and you included!!
Mar 16, 2012
Bette Crapser with all due respect she is a Liberal Activist not Joan Q. Public. If she is spending $1,000 per year for contraception she needs to spend part of that for moisturizing lotion for the calluses. GIVE ME A BREAK! I guess what Bill Maher, Montel, Mike Malloy, Ed Shultz and Chris Matthews have to say is funny. YOU HYPOCRITE!!
Mar 16, 2012
Randy Redstone Thank you!
Mar 16, 2012
Bette Crapser OMG!!!! What next!!!!
Mar 16, 2012
Pamela Ward You really are a ditto head. Nothing he said (or you say) is true. YOU need to go back and listen to her testimony. She never said she wanted American taxpayers to pay for birth control (she wants the insurance to provide for it, the institution pays for it) and she NEVER said anything about having multiple partners. This is not opinion, this is fact, and you just committed the same slander. Rush is a liar and a bully, and you make yourself that too by associating yourself with his slander.
Mar 16, 2012
Nobody takes wedding vows seriously any more. We live in a throw away society. If I divorced husband every time he said something stupid we would never have made it past the first year.
Mar 16, 2012
I'm quite surprised anyone would marry him. He's an egostical jerk.
Mar 16, 2012
You know, many people apologize for the PR and sponsors. Not because they are actually sorry.
Mar 16, 2012
I do not see how citing The National Enquirer is somehow credible in anyway shape or form. Isn't that the paper that post things about aliens in Michigan that are like abducting people from Detroit, which would explain the recent population decline? Come on…
Mar 16, 2012
Katrina Simmons You are welcome – unless we continue to expose the left leaning media and the HYPOCRITES that believe them they will continue their attack on conservative women. I would be delighted to be your friend.
Mar 16, 2012
Maryann McNaughton Excuse me. You apparently missed my statement that I don't like anyone calling names. Do not question what kind of woman I am, please. Ms Fluke has an agenda. That's very clear. And yes, Rush was wrong as are the liberal "comedians" who call women horrible names. Rush has plenty of sponsors for his program. Liberals don't want an conservative voice to be heard any time.
Mar 16, 2012
Oh yeah, by the way, The National Enquirer as the source. Give me a break.
Mar 16, 2012
Pam Onuszkanycz What's her agenda? Saying that a certain type of medication should be paid for through a prescription plan? HORRORS! I apologize, my statement was a little strong. However, even you must agree that Rush is way out of line. And in the same way, YOU shouldn't assume what "liberals" want or think or feel at any time because YOU DONT KNOW. Just as Rush has a right to be heard, anyone else has the right to disagree OR pull their sponsorship.
Mar 16, 2012
It is interesting, if the family friend is telling the truth, I wonder deep down inside do Rush's wife really believe he does not consider her a slut or prostitute. She is a women (I hope) and he classifies all women the same. So if she is not a complete idiot (her individual level of intellegence is suspect because she married him), she would be in the same catagory as all the other women he talks about. Women and businesses should not patronize her either because when you use her business you are still patronizing Rush. The money goes to the same house. Think about it.
Mar 16, 2012
What does "the left" need to apologize for? Republicans love of a lack of education or catering to a lack of an education? Rush Limbaugh is beyond help, but I don't think he's worried about losing his fourth wife, to be honest. He'll just find some other "bimbo", "slut", "prostitute", "whore", "c-nt", etc. Right? Because women love him.
Mar 16, 2012
hit the road babe! don't let the door hit you in the ass!

Paul Shene III 3 other women LEFT this troll. Maybe she should wise up. "Rush can't face life without her"- let's see him try.
Mar 16, 2012
Somehow my previous comment got disappeared. Anyway, to be brief. Rush Limbaugh is a loud, obnoxious, know-nothing from the anti-intellectual party of bigots, and with any luck, his love of prostitutes and sex tapes will be a self-fulfilling prophecy all their own. Is it okay to bet on the date this wife leaves him for someone slightly less repulsive and probably less impotent? :^)
Mar 16, 2012
Teri Wcislo DiPasquale I don't doubt that but what does that make her? Didn't he call Ms Fluke a "prostitute? Hmmmmm
Mar 16, 2012
He has no respect for women, and could care less if she left him, I'm sure number five is right around the corner. The man is a parasite living off the hateful energy he generates. If she stay's with him that makes her just as reprehensible and worthy of the peoples contempt. The man chews women up then spits um out!
Mar 17, 2012
Bette Crapser how the hell could anyone look at his wife & think he's gay???Come to think of it, I've been known to harbor some lesbian feelings of my own!!! lol
Mar 17, 2012
Pamela Ward I have had one sexual partner my entire life. My husband and I used birth control to select the time in our lives to have children we could afford to care for. So I used my insurance to cover my birth control. So why am I a slut? I used BC and I do like it to be covered, so with a single partner for the last 18 years (yes I lost my virginity at 19 years old to the man I married and have remained faithful). Rush painted all women who useBC as SLUTS . Clearly I am NOT. And if you had READ HER testimony she was speaking on behalf of her friend who now became barren because of her medical affliction that she used her Bc to manage, which was suddenly could no longer afford to pay out of pocket. Before making sweeping generalizations and sit your self next to Rush being as misinformed and uneducated on the matter, you might want to know what this really is all about.

I've listened to Howard Stern on a regular basis for half my life, so I fail to see how this whole thing can be viewed as a controversy. I guess after you listening to Howard and his team play ring toss on a pole being held in a woman's ass, nothing is offensive.
Mar 17, 2012
Katrina Simmons In answer to what next… what will offend you enough to stop supporting these merchants of sin disguised as protectors of truth (aka right wing political pundits)?
Mar 17, 2012
Linda Heath .. right. . he apologized only AFTER his sponsors started dropping like flies left and right. he did it because he HAD to.. he went on for 3 days about it.. he meant every word he said, and now he's paying the consequence. Ryan carranza is right.. he did it for the pr. and they STILL dropped him.
Mar 17, 2012
Now this is a more appropriate comparison, but I don't know that I would hear the same hateful thing on Stern's unless in jest. It's a controversy, not strictly because of the language, but the context of what he was referring to. Saying she's a slut and a prostitute for using birth control, and then saying we should see her make a sex tape if "We The People" are paying for any birth control. Stern is definitely off the chain, though.
Mar 17, 2012

Paul Shene III So when Bill Maher called Sarah Palin a C&#t, where was your outrage? When the Democrats went after her pregnant teenage daughter, where was this moral outcry? Yeah, I remember.
Mar 17, 2012
Pam you are projecting. You don't want to be questioned as to what kind of woman you are and in the next breath question another woman and what she is about. Your a hypocrite, and your sort of childish and inane. Like you said Maher is a comedian, he is also not a Democrat but a libertarian, you know like Ron Paul? Rush is also not a conservative other then claiming to be, look up the definition. You are brainwashed parrot.
Mar 17, 2012
Bette Crapser The dictionary defines 'slut' as an immoral woman, so, in my opinion Rush called it like he saw it. As for the vile comments made by liberals in the media, it is hatred based on political views and shows exactly how the left in this Nation think and it ain't pretty…
Mar 17, 2012
Linda Heath Ye he DID apologize on air. When are Maher, Montel, Letterman and all the other slanderers going to man-up and do the same?
Mar 17, 2012
Courtney Elizabeth Ringle Some of those very same sponsors have asked to sign back up. He has MANY more waiting in line. Liberals thought they could get a conservative voice silenced this time. Didn't work, did it?
Mar 17, 2012
Pam Onuszkanycz Could have something to do with the folks who are boycotting the boycotters. The companies that have dropped off his show…also lost consumers. If They (the companies) want to keep their customers then they better start playing fair. You can Not find fault in one and not in all who use such language on the air. We The People are not as stupid as some would like to believe and WE will not put up with the two faced media any more!!
Mar 17, 2012
Katrina Simmons .. well ME the people never thought rush should be on the air to begin with. Ever since i was a child my dad has listened to that fat bloated gas bag. and if anyone thinks rush is a MAN, you're more delusional than i thought. that .. thing cares not one iota for anything he said. Collectively , he is a giant douchebag and i cant wait for the day he is finally silenced.
Mar 17, 2012
Courtney Elizabeth Ringle Wonderful thing about TV….you can always change the channel.
Mar 17, 2012
Linda – your blanket statement is false – please take the time to do some quick research before you spreadl lies. Case in point: Ed Schultz took 9 minutes on his tv show to apologize – an might i add, there were no excuses involved. This was a heartfelt apology and it came across as such – to drive the point home further he suspended himself without pay for a week off of both his radio and tv shows. His last statement about it was that to prove he was sorry – he would never use that language again. And to this day he has not. Rush on the other hand has gone right back to his old tricks without missing a step. Pompous Ass.
Mar 17, 2012
Pamela Ward … you OBVIOUSLY did not listen to Ms Fluke's testimony.. i HIGHLY SUGGEST You go back, look it up on YOU TUBE. and listen. she does NOT want american taxpayers to pay for her bc. thats FAUX and RUSH talking through you. you didnt hear a word she said. she said nothing about sex. she said nothing about HER PERSONAL SEX LIFE. it was all about the RIGHT TO A HEALTHY REPRODUCTIVE LIFE.. please get FACTS before you spout ignorance. That opinion is based on what he interpreted from her testimony. and it was WAY off base.. Please. Think before you speak.
Mar 17, 2012
Katrina Simmons He's on the RADIO
Mar 17, 2012
Jill Schulz they have knobs also! Change the cahnnel!
Mar 17, 2012
Jennifer Boersma Rhodes An egostical jerk and a BULLY is not a good combination. Actually it sounds kind of psycho to me. Poor her.
Mar 17, 2012
Courtney Elizabeth Ringle .. Thank you Courtney. Anyone parroting Rush's words really does need to watch that link and hear her testimony because it's obvious they didn't bother to listen in the first place.
Mar 17, 2012
Courtney Elizabeth Ringle Women can obtain birth control through Planned Parenthood, and local health depts. The point is, I shouldn't have to pay for anyone else to obtain it. Besides, men can help out by using a condom, which is not expensive. If a woman needs the pill for medical reasons, again, I shouldn't have to pay for it. Also, she chose to attend a religious affiliated school. Why, it not to start trouble? She can do whatever she wants, but people don't have to like it. I don't like what Rush said either.
Mar 17, 2012
Hell they are more reliable than the NYT.
Mar 17, 2012
Pam Onuszkanycz .. again. you fail to see or hear what her platform was. she is not ASKING YOU TO PAY FOR IT.. she is saying that the health plan through her school, that she PAYS FOR. should cover it. and with the GOP trying their damnedest to defund PP, they are just trying to make it harder. religion should have no basis on reproductive health. if catholics were so worried about procreation, why are there so many Priests molesting little boys? i posted a link to You Tube up above somewhere.. maybe you and pam ward can watch it together. pay attention to her words this time.
Mar 17, 2012
Kiko Vi EXACTLY!! the ones who really have no clue are just regurgitating the crap they hear from rush. its like Cow Cud.
Mar 18, 2012
Courtney Elizabeth Ringle check your facts before you spout your ignorance. You OBVIOUSLY DIDN'T UNDERSTAND Msd. Flukes testimony .. I HIGHLY SUGGEST you watch the VIDEO on you tube. She was talking about HER sex life as well. She wants Insurance companies to cover contraceptives and who do you think will pay for it? I'll help you with the hard questions here, "you and me in the form of increased premiums". Two years ago this same activist in front of a congressional panel wanted us (the government and insurance) to pay for Gender reassignments. Can you imagine our tax dollars paying for some womans addadicktome? Get YOUR facts straight!
Mar 18, 2012
Rodger Christian Not anywhere close. This is the rag that did the article on Rat Boy. And if you BELIEVE what you said, you've got some reality issues, Rodg.
Mar 18, 2012
Pat Martinez Who the hell is Rat Boy?
Mar 18, 2012
Lol…nation enquirer as reliable, lol…..rush's wife is mad, lol at it all. He dug himself a hole, let him either dig himself out or bury himself.
Mar 18, 2012
Linda Heath If you call what he said an apology,you must like being abused!
Mar 18, 2012
Pamela Ward i know he lied because i listened to her testimony. it is available and you can listen too. He completely mischacterized what she said, what her intent was and the content of her testimony. He has commited slander. She testified as a citizen before congress to the effects of insurance policies. No sex, no taxes, no sluttyness at all. It is easy to see he lied if you bother to look for the truth at all.
Mar 18, 2012
Pam Onuszkanycz no one is asking for you to pay for anything, no taxes mentioned at all.. She testified about insurance that is paid for by workers as part of their employment to cover thier health needs. How is that wrong? you are being deliberatly obtuse, it isnt attractive or clever. all you have to do is avail yourself of what she actually said and boy will you feel foolish for the idiocy you have posted here.
Mar 18, 2012
Sxrx Wynsett Calling names like Rush? Not very mature. I didn't say she personally was asking me to pay. I commented on the fact that Obama care is trying to force institutions, such as Catholic colleges, have their employees pay for birth control and abortions which are against their beliefs.
Mar 18, 2012
Bette Crapser All the snakes come crawling out from under a rock to try to get their 15 mins. of fame.
Mar 18, 2012
Pam Onuszkanycz i did not call you a name. I speculated that you will feel foolish for commenting without finding out the facts first. thats all.
Mar 18, 2012
Sxrx Wynsett I speculate you will feel foolish when you discover that someone has to pay for her sexual habits. SOMEONE HAS TO PAY – IT AIN'T FREE!! I guess that next you'll want us all to believe that Corporations pay taxes! WOW
Mar 18, 2012
Paula Qualls Gurley Other than Sarah Palin actually being what she was called, don't see much to get outraged about (by definition all candidates for political office are whores) And the pregnant teenage daughter managed to rehab her own rep with DWTS, so no real issue there.
When a person runs for office, everything is fair game. When they are NOT running for office (like Ms. Fluke) then public flames like Mr. Limbaugh did are out of bounds. If you can't see the difference, that is your intentional stupidity and we have nothing to debate here.
Mar 18, 2012
Katrina Simmons Rush Limbaugh's supporters own ALL the channels in this city. Changing channel is not an option when Clear Channel owns all the stations.
Mar 19, 2012
No way this story is even remotely true. Lets do the math…35 year old event planner (?) hooks up with 61 year old, ugly and morbidly obesse radio host who has more money than the FED. That girl ain't going anywhere…except perhaps shopping.
Mar 19, 2012
Marta, darling, you must be from another era. How sweet. Why, indeed. It's the oldest profession.
Mar 19, 2012
Kathleen, you can't be serious. This is a bullshit article and she has no intentions of (A) interfering with her man's business or (B) walking away from all that money.
Mar 19, 2012
Randy Redstone Exactly. It seems "free" is what a lot of people want from the government. Unfortunately, every thing has be to paid for some way. Most of the time it's through those of us who pay taxes. It would be nice if those who get approximately 33K a year in "free" hand outs would some times pay in and not take out.
Mar 19, 2012
Ugly, morbidly obese? Name calling like Rush?
Mar 19, 2012
Kiko Vi And you're moron, an ignoramus, and a fool Kiko! Try learning something at that liberal college you're attending besides dumb ass labels.
Mar 19, 2012
Sxrx Wynsett : ROTFLMAO This qualifies as the most ignorant comment on the subject. What are you, an ACLU lawyer? Slander? Pulease, it ain't slander if it's true, and I'd pay to see her try to sue him. LOL She will be swept away like trash that she is.
Mar 19, 2012
Well Marion; looking at your icon I see that you have zero brains so it's useless trying to comment on your ignorant analysis. Dumbass!
Mar 19, 2012
Jennifer Boersma Rhodes : Thanks for advertising where you work Jennifer. I'll be sure to let your management know why I will never shop there and how many others customers you just drove away. LOL
Mar 19, 2012
the truth may not be pretty, but it remains the truth
Mar 19, 2012
If she is smart she should divorce this loser while she still can get a big cash settlement. In a couple of years Rush will be a radio footnote.
Mar 19, 2012
Hugo Chavez-Rey if Ms. Fluke was a public figure, then there would be a defense. Slander suit would be a slam dunk. That's one of the reasons 142 advertisers pulled out. Controversy that involves possible court case is the kiss of death to any advertisement funded show.
Mar 19, 2012
Paula Qualls Gurley When Sarah Palin stops whoring for an extension of her 15 minutes of fame, I'll consider being outraged over her personal foibles being mocked.
Mar 19, 2012
Paul Shene III And why are they asking to come back?????
Mar 19, 2012
I think you might be talking about 'Bat Boy' and that is from Weekly World News, not National Enquirer.
Mar 19, 2012
Gregg Hodges Yeah, that might be, but it's easy to see how I could have confused them, no?
Mar 19, 2012
I used to line my bird cage with the National Enquirer and then my parrot starting lying to the family.
Mar 19, 2012
Hugo, Rush l. and you prove to me and many others , that you righties have a monoply on abject ignorance and stupidity . The parasite is worthy of the peoples contempt . proud democrate ! Oh by the way is dumbass your nickname , or the name on your birt- cert. ?
Mar 19, 2012
( proud democrat ) I stand corrected !
Mar 20, 2012
The mainstream media can say anything they want and get away with it-Liberals ignore all the discusting name calling if it's about a Conservative woman. Rush apologized, I think he is was angry for what is behind this whole issue. As far as his show losing advertisers, he has a line waiting to take their place.
Mar 22, 2012
Such ignorance here! You say he lost 150 advertisers————–but you don't say that is out of 18,000 advertisers! As usual your LIBERAL IGNORANCE is showing! Ha! Ha! I have so much fun laughing at your ignorance! I have two very very ignorant liberal sisters to laugh at———might as well as more! By the way you also don't say how many more he has gained or how many have begged to come back=========you wouldn't happen to be biased, would you?
Mar 22, 2012
Marta Rodriguez Perez, the answer to that is ONE who is much much more beautiful than you are!! I believe Madam, you sound like the usual Rush Critic! The usual Rush critic is so ignorant they are critical of someone who they never listened to but they get their information from a friend who never listened to him who got their information from a friend who never listened to him who got their information from a friend who never listened to him & it goes on & on among the IGNORANT ONES!! I have listened to him for 20 years & the first time I heard him I had no idea who he was but my thought was "IF I HAD A PLATFORM THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I WOULD SAY"!! The PEW INSTITUTE made a study a few years ago & found those who listen to Rush are much more knowledgeable than the majority of Americans. I believe Madam, you are the one living under the rock or in the LIBERAL PLANTATION!!
Mar 22, 2012
Kathleen Grace, you open your mouth & show your ignorance!! This ignorant story you are reading does not tell the whole truth. They say he lost 150, but they don't tell you that is out of 18,000. Ha! Ha! I love laughing at the very very ignorant like you & Katrina Simmons. This article also doesn't tell about the new advertisers coming on board & the ones begging to come back!! Let me tell you for sure RUSH IS GOING NOWHERE!!! Ha! Ha! So much fun laughing at all the ones so ignorant they don't both listening to someone before they are critical of him. Miss Sluttty Fluke got everything she deserved. She brought herself into this thing to help OPUKO in his re-election!! If he wins again we will all suffer & I hope those who are stupid enough to vote for him suffer the most!!!
Mar 22, 2012
Katrina Simmons asking to come back? Um, what drugs are you taking, and why have you not offered to share? Wishful thinking does not make Rush Limbaugh's bottom line better. He's in death spiral.
Mar 22, 2012
seems that you are plucking numbers out of the imagination here. 140 major corporations disowned Political talk radio as too controversial as a result of this event. Rush did not just cost himself. He cost all of his peers. He trashed the entire genre.
Mar 22, 2012
Jeanie Chancellor – Please don't think that I will lose sleep over your rant! Go have some tea at the party and calm down, honey! Go enjoy a totally ignorant man and keep defending the beautiful ladies (blondes like you) who marry for money and position. Good luck with that!
Mar 22, 2012
Sxrx Wynsett hahaha…
Mar 23, 2012
Long line of replacements… Lay off the crack pipe, dear. He had his ad time filled with non-paying public service announcements. The paying corporate advertisers decided that associating with a troll is bad for the reputation, and a corporation's reputation is their lifeblood. It's not a case of them agreeing or disagreeing. Corporations measure long term impact when it comes to reputation and money. A lot of good corporations who deal in numbers a lot bigger than Rush Limbaugh's pay decided to pull out of talk radio that raises too much controversy. Long story short, financial impact on EIB will be larger than Rush supporters will admit.
Mar 23, 2012
Money wise, Rush has about 28 million a year. Close to what a pro athlete makes. the Fed works in trillions. To a working stiff with daydreams of eventually being part of the 1% by working hard enough and being politically aligned with the 1% enough millions and trillions seem like the same thing. They are not I assure you. Now run along with the bread crumbs the 1% permits you to have and don't make too many waves now.

Jeanie Chancellor Well look at that. It looks like 20 years of listening to a hate monger has paid off for you. You went right for the cheap shot by calling the woman ugly.
Mar 30, 2012
Silly question. Did you take a good look at her? If I were married to her I would be her willing slave.
Mar 30, 2012
Hugo Chavez-Rey if you bothered to listen to her testimony you will see how dumb you look right now. really. Mr Limpballs completely lied aboiut what she said. We know nothing about her sex life, only what she thinks the insurance she pays for should cover. The truth isnt hidden you can find it for yourself. Thats what makes it so dumb that you havent bothered. She has been slandered, and the lawsuit swill break the drug addict that did it.
Mar 30, 2012
Pam Onuszkanycz too bad for you, Ms Fluke was testifying about insurance that is an earned benefit of workers. Insurance that is paid for by the employer. All this talk of taxes just shows you dont understand what this is about. You can find out if you bothered just a little bit, google exists and will save you embarrasment.
Mar 30, 2012
Randy Redstone insurance is an earned benfit, it is bought and paid for. Taxes have nothing to do with this at all. You are either delibratly obtuse or just regulaly stupid.
Mar 30, 2012
Pamela Ward I know what Ms Fluke testified too because it is public knowlwedge. You can find it yourself on C span. It isnt hard to not be stupid, you just have to listen to the facts not the druggies drama.

Barbara Iverson took you a month to come up with THAT retort? Point still stands. Rush Limbaugh will not escape unscathed and won't be leading the GOP to the promised land. Obama will get reelected, and will drag a bunch of more liberal democrats into congress in the process. End result, the influence of talk radio will go the way of the vinyl gramophone.
Apr 24, 2012
Jeanie Chancellor And, you madam, are a moron if you have listened to that dirt bag for over 20 years. He's got you right where he wants you! Ignorant of the real world and loyal to a fault! I actually feel sorry for you!!!

You sound just like the typical Liberal-if you don't agree you don't want to hear it. Obama will lose-face it!! He can't run on his record so he tries to divide the country-IT'S NOT WORKING. I have a full time job and don't look at FB very often-unlike like you who must sit and post all day because you are probably unemployed and on the government dole. Taking from the ones that pay taxes. At least that is how you sound. Too many Americans are on to Obama and won't put up with his future for this country.
Apr 26, 2012
Jeanie Chancellor….have you noticed that most posters here are women?….women always come out of the woodwork to bash another women. I have seen it many times in the workplace….and what is the reason?…..jealousy, plain and simple.

Bet you didn't complain when they busted Edwards.
May 11, 2012
Rachel Goldin WTF are you talking about?
May 11, 2012
Pat Martinez They broke the story. They also broke the Tiger Woods affair story, too in '09. They may not be Woodward and Bernstein, but if there's a sex angle involved, National Enquirer has gotten pretty good at sniffing out a story.

Jeanie Chancellor If you had posted links to your "study" I might think you're not a liar.
May 11, 2012
Kurt Basham That may be, but they're hardly a "reliable" news source, as I said originally. While they may be able to "sniff out" a good sex story, they're also expert at fiction. Take a look at all the lawsuits they've lost (starting with Carol Burnett) for their made-up or embellished stories and my point is proven nicely. I still don't know what the eff Rachel Goldin's comments are about. I don't read the Enquirer because any intelligent person knows it's not "real" news, therefore I wouldn't have cause to complain or not complain, regardless of who they print lies about. But then again, she's probably a huge fan of the Enquirer and can't wait for the next installment of Rat Boy.

Brenda Burd Can't you spell like a grown woman instead of a 14 year old girl? Seriously- I can't respect your point of view if you sound like you just grew your breasts.
May 11, 2012
Rachel Goldin The Enquirer will publish anything. As for the "no one else would touch it", they were probably waiting for confirmation….that's a good thing. I haven't read the Enquirer for years because of their lack of ethics as well as their fiction writers.
It doesn't matter who they bust, I don't believe until someone else can verify. The Enquirer is a scag rag, and anyone who believes anything on their word along is ignorant.
May 13, 2012
Rachel Goldin if you read the Enquirer, right back atchya babe.

The National Inguiry broke the John Edwards story so don't right them off too soon.

Have you even read Rush's so called "apology?" I've never seen anything so insincere in my life.
Mar 29, 2013
Limbaugh is not a conservative. Real Conservatives are Atheist because they realize humanity is God we decide our own fates and those around us and work to maintain what we have. I am not Against gay marriage not that I approve of it but that is the way the people were born. and why should dumb laws in a bible and other crap even matter in this country this is not the middle east. Also Rush Limbaugh is a homosexual and will deny it. no straight man would say " I am the only man in America who people would let there 10 year old boy stay at my house" unless they were trying to hide something. And no man goes to the Dominican Republic with Viagra with some buddies of his and no condoms unless he is trying to hide something… why not get prostitutes in the US.
