The star of "The Middle" and "Everybody Loves Raymond" pulled an Alec Baldwin and temporarily deleted her Twitter account after siding with Limbaugh’s criticisms of Georgetown law student Sandra Fluke last week via a series of barbed tweets. She returned on Monday to apologize to Fluke.

On Feb. 29, the actress wrote, "Hey G-Town Gal: Plz let us also pay for your Starbucks, movie theater tickets and your favorite hot wings combo deal at KFC! Anything else?"

"Hey G-Town Gal: If your parents have to pay for your birth control, maybe they should get a say in who you sleep with! Instant birth control!"

"If every Tweaton sent Georgetown Gal one condom, her parents wouldn’t have to cancel basic cable, & she would never reproduce - sound good?"

1. Too late. Her initial response told the world what was in her "heart".

3. Yeah, those were not brain farts.

Those were hate-filled words.

5. Agreed

My thoughts exactly.....and I am sure that Ms. Fluke regards Ms. Heaton like she regards her hangnails---sorely annoying yet easy to ignore most of the time

2. She probably didn't know the issue would have legs.

Now that she is aware her comments got as much attention as they did she's genuinely sorry.

4. Ha!

Heaton feelin' the heat.

Actions do have consequences, you twittering twit.

6. Maybe this is a good time to

check up on our old friend Chachi?

Edit: Just checked. He's keeping his mouth shut. Guess he learned from last time.

7. pitiful she has to suck up to Limbaugh to get attention n/t

8. hey talentless "actor" lady..

why don't you quit riding the coattails of people like ray romano so everyone can see what a hack you are?

9. This Just Shows What A Good Actress She Is.....

If you watch "The Middle" she plays a mother and wife in a family that is clearly in the 99%'ers category. You would think that she would better identify with us. However, she clearly is a far right wacko conservative and a Rushbo fan. That's truely sad.

10. We liked her show "The Middle"

I had it set to record each week on our DVR. I've taken the show off my DVR series recording list. I contacted ABC.com through their website link and told them that our family will no longer support her or her show because of her disgusting comments.
