In a rare move for the conservative radio host, Rush Limbaugh has apologised to the Georgetown University law school student he called a "slut" and "prostitute" last week.
The apology, posted to his website, said he did not mean to make a "personal attack" against Sandra Fluke. The third-year law student had recently testified before Democrats in favour of US President Barack Obama's new rule requiring employers to offer health insurance plans that cover birth control.
"My choice of words was not the best, and in the attempt to be humorous, I created a national stir," he wrote. "I sincerely apologise to Ms Fluke for the insulting word choices."
