Michael Moore
‏ @MMFlint

Rush - As soon as u started losing the big $$ from your hate speech, you caved & obeyed the men who pay u. Who's the prostitute now, bitch?

[tridim]

1. I'd bet that Rush has been contemplating retirement this weekend.

His power is gone.

As I've said in other threads, I think his career is over. Though he might not know it yet.

4. Lesson

What I learned from this ordeal? Rush Limbaugh is not invincible. He is looking at Glenn Back, Book, Bick...whatever his name was, and sheeting his pants.

21. who you talking to?

8. He is stale, boring

and no longer the flavor of the month

Nailed it, even if it was a non-apology apology.

[lunatica]

Hint, hint.

16. This is a really good use of the word "bitch"

It's not meant to denigrate women but in fact, seems to refer more to prison inmates. In this case, Rush is in prison, in a sense, and has to keep Romney, ermh, happy. There are really appropriate times to use certain words.

20. A $400mm contract covering 8 years starting in 2008?

Yes. This a good (and appropriate) use of the word.

[Little Star]

26. I disagree…

Your description is a good fig leaf to provide cover for misogyny at best.

Let’s just think about what you said for a minute.

It's not meant to denigrate women but in fact, seems to refer more to prison inmates. In this case, Rush is in prison, in a sense, and has to keep Romney, ermh, happy. There are really appropriate times to use certain words.

Why do prison inmates call other inmates “bitch”? I submit that it is to denigrate certain inmates to the status of a certain type of female and is not a reference to a dog or any other such nonsense.


Women prisoners rarely refer to each other as sister. Instead, “bitch” and “whore” are the common terms of reference.

For male prisoners “Bitch” is common reference used when one man essentially becomes the property of his protector and is known as his “bitch”.

Nice try at justification thou. I can’t think of a time when using the term “bitch” is ok unless one is referring to the animal (dog).

[zipplewrath]

30. A bit of both

It is clearly a prison slang usage in intent. Making a reference to Rush being the property of his advertisers. The misogyny is within the prison etyomolgy. That is why the term took on the meaning it has. But the meaning is clearly about the property/ownership status. Moore is clearly mocking Rush in that sense. The misongyny isn't significant to the idea expressed.

17. hahahah best response to the whole mess
