Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has praised the uproar over radio host Rush Limbaugh's insulting of a young woman as the top diplomat voiced hope that US women can set an example for the world.
In a rare return to commentary on domestic politics, the woman who nearly became the first female US president said she hoped that the United States would engage in debates without resorting to "personal attacks and insults." Limbaugh caused a storm when he called Georgetown University student Sandra Fluke "a slut" and "a prostitute" after she argued before a congressional panel in favor of health insurance coverage for contraceptives. |
