BloggeRhythms 3/10/2012

Scanning headlines this morning, I saw one from Politico on Drudge that I couldn't believe: Gloria Gone Wild: Arrest Limbaugh for his speech! I didn't know who it was the "Gloria" referred to, so I clicked it and read the story.  Here's what I found out.

Apparently she's an attorney named Gloria Allred and she sent a letter to the Palm Beach County state attorney requesting an investigation into whether Rush should be prosecuted for "calling a law student a 'slut' and 'prostitute' last week"

According to the article,  Allred said, "Mr. Limbaugh targeted his attack on a young law student who was simply exercised her free speech and her right to testify before congress on a very important issue to millions of American women and he vilified her. He defamed her and engaged in unwarranted, tasteless and exceptionally damaging attacks on her. He needs to face the consequences of his conduct in every way that is meaningful.”


(PS-I think you should read her first sentence carefully because I think it clearly reflects the dramatically decreasing knowledge level of today's "experts," especially the part where she says: "who was simply exercised her free speech " In that regard, I suggest this lady learn the English language, especially sentence structure and tense, if she intends to keep letting the press quote her because to me she sounds like a major league dunce, likely educated in public schools.)

As for the opinions she stated themselves are concerned, the last time I looked this was still the United States of America where we still exercise free speech. That's mentioned in the Constitution, and provided she knows what that is and also how to read -she can look it up. If not, perhaps she can find someone who can read it to her.

As far as Rush himself is concerned, I think it's likely he appreciates the attention she's drawing for him and the probable boost in his ratings. But whatever the case, that's where the final determination on what he said about the young woman will come out. Because if his ratings do increase, it doesn't really matter what this headline-seeking lawyer thinks, and if they go down, he'll have a learned a lesson from his public. But, no matter what temporarily happens to Rush, I'm pretty sure he'll remain at the top of  the heap for a long time to come, and the lady mouthpiece will remain an illiterate meddling wannabe for the rest of her life.

That's it for today folks.

Adios
