I heard this going to lunch and my jaw actually dropped.
BTW- he lead the show pretending to be reading an offer for a *NEW* video sponsorship - as if he didn't have time to read it before the show started.
His own transcripts doesn't really illustrate how cleverly he thought he could use this word and get away with it. He said "B.I. - itchy". Of course the intent was clear.
Transcript - I am posting the link simply to show authenticity.

Now, the people that run Ashley Madison are out saying they're willing to advertise on our program. There are stories and advertising blogs about this, but we have not accepted it. Right here in the Washington Post. Ms. Petri, I don't know who feeds you your information -- I have a pretty good guess -- but you might want to double-check here because you've written something that's patently false, it's an out-and-out lie complete with your b-i-itchy opinion in it, and it is untrue. We are not running commercials. We wouldn't accept commercials. We have rejected their offers from outfits that do this kind of thing, provide a way for you to cheat on your spouse. We have never knowingly had this company in our program.

(182,877 posts)1. Rush has stayed away from social issues continually for obvious reasons - pills and wives - he mostly sticks to supposedly economic and financial issues. He ventured in and got bit.
2. His exposure to light -anything out of his darkened lair - has been disasterous. See his fill in on the Pat Sajack late night show, his tragic syndicated show, his brief run on ESPN, his complete dismissal for NFL ownership, and his "Russian mobster" (Letterman) appearance at CPAC a few years ago.
He simply is unable to connect with the public.

(45,558 posts)I kind of laughed because you have to admit it's a clever but very childish way of getting to say something on the air.
It reminded me of people pretending to cough into their hand while saying Bull Shit...
Childish behavior. I'm glad the adults are starting to take note.
