I'm not sure if this was the OP's sorce, but the admission by Rushbo apparently did happen. From the New York Observer, June 14, 2002:

On the evening of Dec. 15, in the Upper East Side apartment of Democratic donor Sally Minard, Hillary Clinton rose to address a crowd of about 50 supporters. Mrs. Clinton began with an anecdote about a meeting earlier that evening with her longtime nemesis, Rush Limbaugh, according to people in attendance.

Mrs. Clinton recounted that she had been at a wedding in Brooklyn, where she was introduced to Mr. Limbaugh by the bride’s father, Jewish activist Malcolm Hoenlein. Mr. Limbaugh informed her that he owed her an apology. Where, she wondered, would he begin?

A laugh arose from the audience, which included media executive John Sykes, political power couple Sarah and Victor Kovner, fund-raiser Barbaralee Diamonstein-Spielvogel, and long-time friend-of-the-Clintons Susan Thomases. Mr. Limbaugh’s apology, it turned out, was for talking about Mrs. Clinton’s daughter, Chelsea, on his show. She accepted.

The immoderate, immodest and inebriated actions of the Bush daughters was not a discovery of mine.

Everyone knows about their underage drinking but I note that you cannot provide any documentation that the young women are "sexual libertines" - whatever that is. Re drinking, perhaps you missed the tabloid photos of a drunken Chelsea being carried out of a London club? I don't say that in criticism of Chelsea, whom I admire, but to point out how scurrilous your comments about the Bush girls are.

I can provide no one-click website link documentation showing that 500+300+100+48+49+3-199-302=499 without requiring additional work on someone's part, but it does not discredit the fact that the sum of said numbers is 499.

The Bush daughters make Monica Lewinsky look like a quasi-angel -- well, at least the Bush daughters are not nearly as ugly as M.L.

I did not find much when I searched for Limbaugh apologizing to Chelsea. I found a blog, and I quoted it asking whether it is true or not. I found nothing relevant when I searched Limbaugh's site for Chelsea.

When Limbaugh apologized for the incident is important. Personally he is said to have apologized after 10 years (in the article mentioned above). When he apologized on his TV/radio show is important.

I assure you I did not find this on the internet. Sadly people confuse typing a few words to google and pick the sites you tend to agree with research.
I am not going to question your words about your reasons that you cited for listening to Rush. Nor do I question characterisation of your friends. I am sure your friends are more educated and an exception than a rule. Some people do listen to Rush to get laughs from his outrageous claims. If you remembr my claim about education, "No more than high school even if they went to college", it may help remove the confusion.

Rush could be funny yes, but neither he nor his supporters claim that he is a comedian. I suppose to some talking about boring golf, football and cats would not be as entertaining as the other stuff he is known to have talked about.

I am sorry if you took offense to my post about Rush. It was about him, not about you.

GUWonder

Which one of the Bush daughters would be more interested in sharing a drink or some pill-popping (and a little after-hour fun) with Rush?

As opposed to citing anecdotal evidence?

May the horses "live long and prosper".

Who said it's evidence?

rufus102

Now that we have seen the examples, do you withdraw your "cheap shot" comment? I note with interest you have not responded to the "evidence" which shows Limbaugh to be a hypocrite (at best).

LLM

We're talking about apples and oranges here. The TV incident appeared shortly after the 1993 inauguration and I heard Rush apologize on the air on the way to work (late ) at the time. You can email his show and get the clips if they still have them since you don't believe what I heard.

The gossip item cited here reports Mrs. Clinton telling friends that many years later she ended up at a social function also attended by Rush where he made a personal apology which is very different from telling twenty million people he should not have maligned a 12-year-old girl.

GUWonder

The Clinton daughter and the Bush daughters are adults and in so much as they are intrinsically involved in their parents' public lives as well as being adults, they are going to be scrutinized. Furthermore, just as said daughters benefit tremendously from their parent's positions and their public figure status (willing or unwilling) as adults they will also bear some cost too.

JeffS

I considered this but I think the several of the subsequent posts support my original remarks. So maybe I'm just psychic.
