Limbaugh and Hannity Fined by the FCC!!!

Wouldn't that be a great headline?  Send a letter to the FCC asking for Limbaugh and Hannity to be fined for their indecent remarks.  A copy of my email letter is below:

To whom it may concern,

While listening to the Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity shows, both broadcasts used the "F" word on their broadcasts.  This is unacceptable and each show should be fined.  Here is the pertinent information:

On June 25 Mark R. Levin, a WABC radio talk show host filling in for regular ABC Radio host Sean Hannity on his radio program The Sean Hannity Show, addressed Senator Leahy on Cheney's behalf:

LEVIN: By the way, Senator Leahy out there, "F-you."

Radio host Rush Limbaugh, who was out on vacation June 25, weighed in on June 28, purporting to articulate what Cheney was thinking when he cursed at Leahy:

LIMBAUGH: "You expect me to come over here and act like you're my friend after all this rotgut garbage you're saying about me? F-you."

LIMBAUGH: "F-you. You aren't my friend; I don't want you in my company. And I'm not going to smile when I'm around you, because you don't deserve my friendship. You haven't earned my friendship. You are my enemy. And I'm not going to come here and put on a show, phony-baloney show that says I like you, and that we are convivial, and that are we are colleagues, and all we do is disagree in the daytime, but at night we go out and have a beer. F-you. I don't want to have a beer with you. I don't want to be anywhere near you. I don't like you. You do not deserve my friendship, and don't act like we're friends here."

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

•  Wait...

  Did Limbaugh say "f" or "fuck"?

  •  totally

    the abbreviation "f-" at best is unclear and really undermines the entire letter, which otherwise has a good point.

•  Dishonest diary titles...

  ...are really irritating.

  •  agreed

    RA might avoid adding a post to this thread to keep from getting some marginal ratings...

  •  hell yes they are

    maybe it should be added as a new diaries rule: No fake headlines!

    •  Good rule

      I considered a diary titled "Saddam Escapes!" a few months ago, but I repressed the urge.
