From the same website containing the non-apology:

That’s not a “choice of words” problem there.

Later that same page:

RUSH: Where did he get it checked? Probably Media Matters. Of course, it’s not what I said. He’s forgetting the way this whole thing happened. A woman goes up to congressional committee and says: I’m having sex so damn much, I’m going broke. What the heck is going on here? This is why I tell you, it’s “phony soldiers” times ten. And it’s not true. Maria Cantwell, Senator from Washington, MSNBC Live this morning. The anchor said, “Rush Limbaugh yesterday squarely aimed his words at Sandra Fluke questioning her virtue…” I’m not questioning her virtue. I know what her virtue is. She’s having so much sex that she’s going broke! There’s no question about her virtue. “Rush Limbaugh yesterday squarely aimed his words at Sandra Fluke, questioning her virtue, doing so in a pretty rude manner on the airwaves. How do you feel about her character, her virtue being questioned, and is she being treated like a political football between the parties?”

Her “virtue” is not in question. Her virtue being questioned? Who is this anchor? Thomas Roberts. Thomas, do you have any question about her virtue? Is it still an open question to you? Anyways, Maria Cantwell, here’s what she said.

Choice of words, indeed.
