Sandra Fluke Owes the Whole United States an Apology

Rush Limbaugh apologized for using the words "slut" and "prostitute" to describe Sandra Fluke, the university student who demands that the taxpayers buy her contraceptive pills:

"Prostitute" remains unproved, although it's hard to think of any other explanation of why an unmarried woman (1) requires all these pills and (2) isn't able to buy them for herself. "Slut" lacks a solid legal definition, and it would be very interesting to know on what grounds Fluke could possibly refute the claim that she's demanding that the public help her to act like one...but if Limbaugh wants to keep his show free from ugly four-letter terms of verbal abuse, I salute him.

Meanwhile, where's Fluke's apology for having the gall to demand that anyone else fund personal choices of hers that violate the moral standards of the majority of the nation? "Brat" may be as obnoxious by Limbaugh's standards as "slut," but if Fluke wants me not to call her both, she needs to withdraw her demand. With an apology.
