Rush Limbaugh Apologizes to Sandra Fluke
By Ethan Klapper | National Journal 

Conservative Radio Host Rush Limbaugh apologized to a Georgetown University law student on Saturday after coming under increasing fire for calling her a "slut," among other things, during his popular radio program.
In a written statement on his websiteLimbaugh said he did not mean a personal attack on the student, Sandra Fluke.
"My choice of words was not the best, and in the attempt to be humorous, I created a national stir," Limbaugh said in the statement. "I sincerely apologize to Ms. Fluke for the insulting word choices."
Limbaugh was under pressure to apologize, as advertisers were pulling ads from his show, and prominent Republicans—including the GOP presidential field—condemned his comments.
