George Will: Republican Leaders Are Afraid of Rush Limbaugh
George Stephanopoulos
Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh has been inundated with criticism after calling Sandra Fluke, a Georgetown University student who testified before a House committee about contraception, a slut and a prostitute. But while Democrats have fiercely condemned the comments, Republicans ire has been significantly more muted.
ABCs George Will told me Sunday on This Week that
GOP leaders have steered clear of harshly denouncing Limbaughs comments because Republican leaders are afraid of Rush Limbaugh.
{House Speaker John} Boehner comes out and says Rushs language was inappropriate. Using the salad fork for your entrée, thats inappropriate. Not this stuff, Will said. And it was depressing because what it indicates is that the Republican leaders are afraid of Rush Limbaugh. They want to bomb Iran, but theyre afraid of Rush Limbaugh.
