Rush to Claymates: My Bad
Apparently, there are some Dittoheads out there wrestling with their inner Claymate.
After expressing his distaste for American Idol in no uncertain terms earlier this week, Rush Limbaugh was flooded with criticism from Clay Aiken's outraged fanbase.
"I have never, ever seen American Idol," the conservative radio show host said earlier this week. "I don't need to see recycled amateur shows, I deal with enough amateurs every day in my life anyway."
Those remarks launched an attack on Limbaugh by multitudes of Aiken fans, who took it upon themselves to overload the radio host with hate mail, informing him that the season two Idol runner-up was no amateur.
By Wednesday, Limbaugh--not usually known for backing down--was ready to surrender and make nice by issuing an apology to Claymates everywhere on his Website.
"I have been getting swamped," Limbaugh stated on his Website. "Apparently there's a fan group out there for Clay Aiken, and I am getting swamped because I have dissed Clay Aiken, that he is different, that he is better. And I didn't mean to diss anybody. I was just expressing in passionate terms why I don't watch American Idol. I'm not putting it down. If you like it, that's fine. I know that I'm in the minority on this, and as a minority I have rights. And I have the right here to tell you I don't like it.
"So if you like Clay Aiken, that's fine. If you love Clay Aiken, that's fine. Unfortunately because of my hearing I can't tell the difference between Clay Aiken and anybody else I've never heard sing before. That's another reason I don't watch the show. It's music and it's new music. I can't hear it anyway, doesn't make any sense to me."
The Claymate smackdown's not the only battle Limbaugh lost this week.
On Wednesday, the Florida Supreme Court turned down Limbaugh's appeal over allegations that his privacy was violated when his medical records were seized in 2003 as part of an investigation into whether he illegally purchased painkillers.
The higher court ruling was likely Limbaugh's final chance to keep his records to himself. The court offered no explanation behind its 4-3 ruling.
Up till now, Limbaugh's medical records have remained sealed pending the outcome of his appeal. Prosecutors did not say when they planned to begin examining the records.
Prosecutors obtained warrants for the records after learning that Limbaugh had obtained over 2,000 painkillers from four different doctors. The commentator has maintained that he is innocent, but copped to a painkiller addiction he said developed when he was being treated for severe back pain.
