Stephen Colbert blasted Rush Limbaugh and Fox News as only he can do on last night's show for their latest attacks on Sandra Fluke, and their ongoing war on women.
Yes, the Army is pulling out of Rush. (wild audience applause) Meanwhile, they're staying in Afghanistan to negotiate with the Taliban, whom evidently have a better track record on women's issues.
And now, Premiere Radio Networks, which syndicates El Rushbo, has cancelled all their national ad slots for the next two weeks, which is their sole source of revenue from the show. Things have gotten so bad, folks, Rush may have to start a pledge drive.
So ladies, donate now, and you will get this free tote bag.

....
Now, the real victim here is Rush. This whole birth control controversy started with that Georgetown Law student Sandra Fluke, whose testimony was no fluke. Jim?
ERIC BOLLING (3/6/2012): Tonight, we're going to connect the dots for you. ... Follow me, President Obama, on the ropes with the economy, and specifically with women voters, gets Mrs. Fluke to create a controversy, and the liberal mainstream media puppets play along as scripted.
RUSH LIMBAUGH (3/13/2012): It's all part of a plan. It is not accidental. None of this stuff just happened. Whoa, lookee over there, what just....? It's all orchestrated.
BILL O'REILLY (3/8/2012): There is no doubt in my mind, and my investigator's mind, that this woman from the very beginning was what they call "run" by very powerful people.
LAURA INGRAHAM (3/8/2012): Oh yeah, she's a pawn.
Oh yes, she was run by powerful people. She's a pawn. And I mean, what's the alternative? That a 30-year-old woman had her own thoughts and feelings about reproductive rights? C'mon, what do you take me for, a girl??

And it's important to talk about this so-called controversy, because it's threatening the livelihood of radio host and tater tot in casual wear Rush Limbaugh.
CNN (3/13/2012): A list of advertisers fleeing from Rush Limbaugh is growing. 141 companies have now officially bailed on Limbaugh's radio show. Among the latest Limbaugh defectors, Acura, IBM, American Express, McDonald's, and the U.S. Army.

Put all your slut stuff in there. And the walk of shame.
Folks, these accusations of sexism are totally unfair to Rush. Just ask Rush.
RUSH LIMBAUGH (3/14/2012): Now, how can I be anti-woman? I even judge the Miss America pageant!
Yes! What more does he have to do, judge Playmate of the Year? Plus, Rush is just exercising his right to free speech. And while it is shocking that Rush would exercise anything, this is America. We must defend the principles symbolized by Lady Liberty. Unless she's on the pill, in which case she is a giant green tramp. Oh, she'll lift her lamp and open her golden door for anybody: your tired, your poor, and not just one-on-one, she'll take on huddled masses! Everybody line up for a peek under her toga!
