This is an unexpected treat:
Quote:Media Matters for America today launched an aggressive television ad campaign spotlighting highly controversial comments on the torture of Iraqi prisoners made by Rush Limbaugh, the political commentator with the largest radio listenership in the U.S. The 30-second ad contrasts the Bush Administration's denunciation of Iraqi prisoner torture with Limbaugh's May 4th statements comparing the torture to a college fraternity prank and people "having a good time."
VOICEOVER: "Secretary Rumsfeld called the torture of Iraqis sadistic...cruel..."
RUMSFELD: "Fundamentally un-American."
VOICEOVER: "But here's what Rush Limbaugh said:"
LIMBAUGH: "This is no different than what happens at the Skull & Bones initiation...I'm talking about people having a good time. These people - you ever heard of emotional release? You ever heard of needing to blow some steam off?"
VOICEOVER: "This is the most listened-to political commentator in America?"
