Rush Limbaugh’s conspiracy theory

Why admit you were wrong when you can blame others, right, Mr. Limbaugh?

From The Salt Lake Tribune:

After my past two Sunday columns lambasting conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh, I figured I had sufficiently beaten on the commentator who, in my mind, ruthlessly slandered a female Georgetown law student for simply testifying before a congressional committee in favor of insurance coverage for contraceptives.

But the commentaries of the past week have me Limbaugh-bashing again. Perhaps you could say that Rush is the gift that keeps on giving. Or, as Al Pacino said in "Godfather III": "Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in."

I was dragged back to the Limbaugh theme, like flint to magnet, after he followed his limp apology for calling Georgetown student Sandra Fluke a "slut" and a "prostitute" with the outrageous claim that she was part of a conspiracy with the Obama White House to bring poor Rush down.

Limbaugh’s conspiracy theory predictably was parrotted in several venues by the right-wing media, which has a habit of perpetuating a story self-serving to their cause like a group in a circle tossing a bean bag back and forth.

Guess not. Here goes. For his theory to be correct he would have to be admitting he is predisposed and well known for being a misogynist.
