Um, what now?
On ropeline @mittromney re #Rush Limbaugh "it's not the language I would have used" -Bain capital owns Clear Channel radio Rush employer

So he's had all day to come up with something, and "not the language I would have used" is the best he can do? Well, what's the language he would have used? What's rich person language for calling someone a "slut"?
I won't even touch the Bain Capital tie-in, but I do have to wonder if Mitt Romney is going to flip-flop on this one as well. Maybe tomorrow we'll get a new statement from Romney: "Yes! Yes, that's the language I would have used!"
Sheesh. Even people who are claiming to be presidential material aren't willing to go out on a limb and say that maybe calling your political-opponents-of-the-day "sluts" is grounds for a condemnation stronger than "not the language I would have used." I guess the GOP is thinking this new bout of sexism is really working out for them.
Once again, please sign the petition. Yes, I know we keep bringing that up—but if the cowards in the GOP won't denounce Rush even after things like this, at least maybe we can get some of his advertisers to flip on their radios and hear some of the racist, sexist stuff they're associating themselves with on a daily basis.
