On May 6, 2004, Rush Limbaugh discussed the Abu Ghraib Iraqi prisoner abuse on his radio show. “The Abu Ghraib abuses ‘look like standard good old American pornography,’ he said. The guards were just ‘having a good time’ and their actions looked ‘just like anything you’d see Madonna or Britney Spears do onstage. …I mean, this is something that you can see onstage at Lincoln Center from an NEA [National Endowment for the Arts] grant, maybe on Sex and the City.’ ”
