Colbert and Stewart sounded off on Limbaugh for his comments about Sandra Fluke. Colbert, Stewart: Joke's on Rush

Comedians Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart sounded off Monday night on Rush Limbaugh for his comments about Georgetown Law student Sandra Fluke.

“Of course, you call one woman you’ve never met a slut and a prostitute and demand that she post an internet gang-bang tape, and suddenly the lamestream media is jumping down your throat — if there were room in there with all that ham,” joked Colbert.


The comedian further noted that numerous advertisers had abandoned Limbaugh’s show, prompting him to apologize over the weekend.

“It takes one to know one,” said Colbert, about the “prostitute” comment. “And remember, he only apologized to keep his advertisers, proving Rush will do anything with his mouth for cash.”

Colbert also poked fun at Limbaugh’s comment that Fluke should just be having less sex, as the comedian noted subtly that birth control pills are taken regardless of how often one has sex.

“Rush knows what he’s talking about — because every time he’s slept with a woman, he’s had to slip her a pill first,” said Colbert, to wide applause.

Meanwhile, Stewart took a more serious route, taking Limbaugh to task for his reasoning.

“What is going through Rush Limbaugh’s fevered mind, to get from young woman trying to get a private institution to cover contraception to prostitution-slut-having-constant-sexy-sex on my dime?” asked Stewart.

“You got to misunderstand so many things. One, he seems to believe that anybody using contraception is automatically having a ton of sex, and that contraception is something a woman has to pay for every time she has sex, and that the woman is nevertheless benefiting financially,” continued Stewart.
