Limbaugh’s apology = weak tea
Posted on March 3, 2012

Carbonite’s CEO, who was not impressed with conservative radio personality Rush Limbaugh’s apology to Sandra Fluke after calling her a “slut,” said in a statement published Saturday evening that his company would continue to withdraw its support from Limbaugh’s show.

“Mr. Limbaugh, with his highly personal attacks on Miss Fluke, overstepped any reasonable bounds of decency,” Carbonite’s CEO David Friend wrote.

UPDATE

A Statement from David Friend, CEO of Carbonite as of 6:45pm ET, March 3:

“No one with daughters the age of Sandra Fluke, and I have two, could possibly abide the insult and abuse heaped upon this courageous and well-intentioned young lady. Mr. Limbaugh, with his highly personal attacks on Miss Fluke, overstepped any reasonable bounds of decency. Even though Mr. Limbaugh has now issued an apology, we have nonetheless decided to withdraw our advertising from his show. We hope that our action, along with the other advertisers who have already withdrawn their ads, will ultimately contribute to a more civilized public discourse.”
