washington post editorial writer who rush attacked today. and tracy mcmillan, author of the american war of eating. she was also attacked by rush this week. thanks to all of you for joining me tonight. thanks for having us on. let me start with you, congressman bass. congressman bass, what do you say about the gop leadership refusing to denounce rush limbaugh? well, i think it s absolutely inappropriate and absurd. they need to be on the floor. they need to be holding press conferences. they need to say that this type of speech which in my opinion is hate speech needs to stop or he need to be off the air. i think that this is the type of thing that leads to violence against women. this is international women s day. and so the way he acknowledges it is by using the b word in reference to a woman? what i m very glad about, though
