No political leader that I know of feared to speak ill of the show in fear of Alan alda speaking out against them. Rush Limbaugh controls every republican politician, and this is why you won't hear a single one speak out against him. Not one. And do you think all of them think it's ok to publicly deride and slander a young woman simply because she wished to testify before congress? All of them? Now what does that say about these 'wonderful' leaders? Oh they all try to skirt it by saying, well, you know, he is just an entertainer, but that is false. Period. If he were just an entertainer, they wouldn't think twice about calling out his intimidation of a congressional witness, cause that's what it was. But you know what we will hear from these 'courageous' republican leaders in congress.....crickets.
I have been dinking around on the web, listening a little to Rush since I never do...
I was looking for Rush in his own words calling Fluke a slut and I came across this segment where Rush is saying that Sen. McConnell's office was calling his show the day of the Blunt Amendment to clarify some things before Rush went on the air

Rush is a huge, effective megaphone for the conservative platform and many Republicans happen to be conservative - just admit it
