“My choice of words was not the best, and in the attempt to be humorous, I created a national stir. I sincerely apologize to Ms. Fluke for the insulting word choices.” — Radio gasbag Rush Limbaugh Mar. 3, apologizing to Georgetown University law student Sandra Fluke, the woman who had testified before Congress regarding birth control and health insurance. For three days on his radio show, Limbaugh had called Fluke names, notably “slut” and “prostitute.” “I wish you could share the joy with me and the fun in irritating these people as I do.

Mary Landrieu “the most expensive prostitute in the history of prostitutes.” Landrieu had voted to open debate on President Barack Obama’s health care bill only after she secured $300 million in Medicaid funds for Louisiana. Limbaugh never apologized to Louisiana’s senior senator.

Early voting began March 10. When the Super Tuesday ballot dust had settled, Romney was still the frontrunner, but he missed the chance to score a TKO against his opponents. Former U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania did well in the Midwest, and former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich won his home state of Georgia by 23 points. Neither man, nor the fourth candidate, U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, showed any sign of conceding to Romney. Instead, the candidates turned their attention to the South — specifically Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana. By March 9, Gingrich was stumping in Meridian, Miss., Santorum was in Mobile, Ala. and Romney was telling a crowd in Pascagoula,
