Rush is on public airwaves, with corporate sponsors, in the middle of the day, and is regulated by the FCC with regards to obscenity.
Maher's show regularly comes on right before Real Sex.
The idea that their mediums are comparable is ridiculous. If Rush was on HBO after 9PM he could call Pelosi every name in the book and nobody would care.
Rush has also tried to deflect criticism to gangster rappers. However, you have to be at least 18 to buy their albums and they are packaged as containing explicit lyrics.
Next Rush will wonder why Ron Jeremy can get away with shooting a load on a woman's face, and he can't call a college girl a slut.
...and you will say "Yeah, double standard!"
