I guess they’re all a bunch of phonies according to Rush Limbaugh.”
Howard Dean via Press release:
"Rush Limbaugh should immediately apologize to our brave men and women in uniform for undermining the sacrifices they make every day serving our country.

America's troops deserve better, and Limbaugh owes them an apology."

Rush Limbaugh owes our military and their families an apology for his hurtful comments that minimize their service to our country
