Almost as surprising as “libertarian” Ron Paul going on TV to express his distaste with Rush Limbaugh’s language, then declare his apology disingenuous (note how, even after the apology they demanded, the left is cheering Limbaugh’s additional loss of sponsors.

Forty percent of female students at Georgetown Law report struggling financially as a result of this
