I don\u2019t know. This is getting&#8230; We\u2019re gonna need a scorecard. Larry King has now been accused of fondling and groping. separate occasions while they were taking photos together. The 63-year-old says she was first groped by King in 2005 at a baseball award ceremony in Los Angeles. She claims he slid his [crusty paw] down her backless dress. Richard said: &#8216;It ended up with about three or four of his fingers in the&#8230;'&#8221; Well. Ahem.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;&#8216;It ended up with about three or four of his fingers in the crack of'&#8221; um &#8220;adding it lasted for several seconds. &#8216;My reaction was to slap him in his face but he was the guest speaker. What really got me was, I\u2019m a wife, my child was at the event, I\u2019m working and I was over 50.\u2019 The second incident was in 2006, and again Richard claims they were posing for a photo when King groped her butt so hard that it left a bruise. She said: &#8216;Larry groped me in front of everyone where I couldn\u2019t say anything.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Larry has always been one of these guys he does much more than zip \u2019em up behind their backs, let me just tell you. Don\u2019t doubt me.<\/p>\n<p>Have you heard about the famous celebrity chef Mario Batali? He\u2019s taken a sabbatical, leave of absence from the kitchen because, what is it, four women are accusing him. Did you hear what happened to Lindsey Vonn? Man, is this&#8230;? I don\u2019t know. People call it karma. I don\u2019t know what&#8230; So she comes out last week, &#8220;No, I would not go to the White House if I won the gold medal. I would not go with the team. No, I will not be skiing for Trump.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I will be skiing for the American people.&#8221; So she\u2019s over St. Moritz practicing and takes a big fall and injures her back and is gonna be out for a while. Not gonna miss the Olympics, but how often does this happen? Somebody goes after Trump, like Kathy Griffin, somebody goes after Trump and their world falls in on them. And we sit here and we just marvel at it.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Jacksonville, Florida. David, great to have you, sir. How are you doing?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Hey, Rush, how are you?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Fine and dandy, sir. Thank you.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-257687\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/310-Mario-Baltali.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"325\" height=\"349\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/310-Mario-Baltali.jpg 325w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/310-Mario-Baltali-279x300.jpg 279w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 325px) 100vw, 325px\" \/>CALLER: So, you know, to a point that you just made about if the media says it, then we\u2019re to believe it, and that\u2019s just the way things are. Well, you know, for so long, conservatives have been labeled as prudes and behind the times, but here we go now, the liberals have led the way on promiscuity, condoms in the schools, the sexual revolution, and now everybody wants to cry foul. So they train us and now they want to roll it all back 10, 15, 20 years after the fact something\u2019s happened. This is ridiculous.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Wait a minute, now. What do they want to roll back?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: They want to take back, they want to say, &#8220;Oh, you know what? We went ahead and we said it\u2019s okay to do this and it\u2019s okay to do that.&#8221; But now, oh, no, no, now it\u2019s vogue to be able to say, &#8220;Oh, you groped me.&#8221; And then the other question is, how far expanded on these allegations that are coming forward for everybody, how far expansive are they making the definition of groping? I mean, this is just out of hand.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: It\u2019s because it\u2019s being politicized. It\u2019s mostly them that are dropping like flies, which means it\u2019s mostly them who are the hypocrites. But they don\u2019t want to roll back the sexual revolution for themselves. Look, you\u2019ve raised an interesting point. Sadly, it happens at a time where I can\u2019t discuss it any further. I\u2019m gonna make a note. We will continue this tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Larry has always been one of these guys he does much more than zip &#039;em up behind their backs, let me just tell you.
