It was indeed uncivil for Rush Limbaugh to refer to Ms. Flake as a slut. He should follow the example of liberal radio show hosts like this one whose reasoned dialogue puts conservatives to shame.

With all the talk of holding radio talk show hosts accountable lately, it's probably worth bringing you what liberal firebrand Mike Malloy said last week as storms ravaged the South. According to a clip from his March 2 show, it seems the storms are God's way of getting back at them for not believing in science. Or something.

"Their God ... keeps smashing them into little grease spots on the pavement in  Alabama, and Mississippi, and Arkansas, and Georgia, and Oklahoma," Malloy says in his broadcast from Friday. "You know, the Bible belt, where [in a mocking voice] they ain't gonna let no goddamned science get in the way, it says in the Bible, blah blah blah blah blah. So, according to their way of thinking, God with his omnipotent thumb reaches down here and so far tonight has smashed about 20 people into a grease spot on highway 12, or whatever the hell highway they live next to."

With examples like this to follow, I feel sure that we will enjoy an elevated level of conversation in the future with liberals.
