Dear Rush Limbaugh,

We are so fortunate to have you.  We are so fortunate that you leaned into that microphone this week and called out a young woman who requested insurance coverage for birth control.  It’s refreshing that you did not just infer that she was someone of shoddy morals.  It’s beautiful that you called her out by name and then said she was a slut and that if she wanted the government to pay for her birth control that she should submit to you a video of herself having sex.

This really happened.  And I’m so glad you made it happen.

Because perhaps once and for all people who find you “entertaining” and “blunt” will be led to redefine their description of you to something more accurate:  I suggest “psychotic” and “evil.”  I’m sure there are other adjectives floating around out there and I sincerely hope they find you and burrow under your crusty, flabby skin.

How DARE you with your cold dead eyes presume to use your bully pulpit to unleash your toxic verbal diarrhea onto the airwaves?   How dare you say such a disgusting thing to someone who was simply insisting on a constitutional right to be able to use her health insurance for preventive care and medication prescribed by a physician?  How dare you get away with it?

I find it interesting that someone who had so little regard for healthcare that he abused prescription drugs would suddenly have a problem with a medication or medical intervention that is not only legal but can protect a woman’s health.  I find it fascinating that you and so many others insist that the government that governs best is the one that governs the least.  Yet suddenly, your tiny little scrotum is clenched up in outrage because a “femiNazi” is courageously testifying before Congress that it is not the government’s role to tell her what medication or health regimen she can or cannot have access to through her insurance plan.

And while we’re at it, shame on your “friends.”  You know, the parasites who allow you to give voice to the vile and scummy things they think behind closed doors but know they cannot say from their debate platforms for fear of political reprisal.  Shame on them for not condemning your appalling screed about the morality of women who choose to prevent an unwanted pregnancy by using contraceptives.

Shame on all of you for the way you have turned the tradition of reasoned debate into demagoguery and a violence of words.  And shame on us for allowing it to go on for so long.

Shame on any women who listen to your show or support people who echo your opinions of women.  They are delusional if they think your cronies give a rat’s ass about them.

I sincerely hope that the young lady you slandered hires a team of righteously furious attorneys and sues the pants off of you.  And when they do and you are standing there with your business hanging out for everyone to see , remind me to grab a microscope to search for evidence of your manhood.

Sincerely,

Mary
