Democrats urge Boehner to "repudiate" comments by Limbaugh on contraception testimony
Selected quotes
Ok, now I'm not a big fan of Rush. About the nicest thing I can say about him is that his show can occasionally be entertaining. Of course it's only funny until you remember how many people actually believe what he says, then it makes me a little queasy.
But isn't he just another DJ? If Howard Stern can say whatever he wants on his show can't Rush do the same? Just because he favors radical right GOP listeners doesn't make him an official spokesperson for them and they shouldn't be held accountable for his actions. Or am I wrong?

Seventy five Democratic members of Congress are urging House Speaker John Boehner to condemn Rush Limbaugh's assertion that a Georgetown University law student and women's health advocate is "****" and a "prostitute" because she wants employers to pay for contraception.
"That's a thousand dollars a year of sex -- and, she wants us to pay for it," Limbaugh said on his radio show Wednesday.
