Sen. John McCain called Rush Limbaugh’s smear of a Georgetown University law student “totally unacceptable.” The right-wing radio host called Sandra Fluke — who testified at a House contraception hearing — a “slut” and other derogatory names. Limbaugh has since apologized. 

On CBS’ “This Morning,” McCain said Limbaugh’s statements were unacceptable “in every way” and “should be condemned” by politicians from both parties.
