Weigh in on Rush Limbaugh

The controversial radio host is in hot water over comments he made about a Georgetown law student. What are your thoughts?

This past week has most likely been the most difficult week in Rush Limbaugh's long career as a radio host.

The conservative talker has come under intense scrutiny for several comments he directed towards Georgetown University law student Sandra Fluke.

Fluke was denied the chance to speak at a Congressional hearing on contraception, but later spoke before a Democratic hearing.

While weighing in on the issue Limbaugh called Fluke a "slut" and a  "prostitute," and later directed another blast at Fluke saying, "If we are going to pay for your contraceptives and thus pay for you to have sex, we want something. We want you to post the videos online so we can all watch."

Over the weekend, Limbaugh issued an apology on his website and also apologized on his radio show.
