Has Limbaugh Gone Too Far?

Right-wing talk show host Rush Limbaugh is no stranger to controversy, but he may have gone over the line when he referred to a Georgetown University law school student in favor of mandatory employer health coverage of contraception as a "slut" and a "prostitute." 

Already, advertisers are pulling out of his show, Speaker John Boehner has come out to call Limbaugh's comments "inappropriate" and Republicans fear that Rush's harsh commentary could end up hurting them in the election. 

Our cartoonists are very fond of Limbaugh. They might disagree with much of what the outspoken conservative spews, but he makes great fodder for cartoons. Here are five choice cartoons about El Rushbo from cartoonists whose talents are on loan from god...

The saddest aspect of Limbaugh's ignorance is that there is a segment of the population that endorses it--and you can't fix stupid!
