On Monday, Rush Limbaugh discussed Mitt Romney‘s already much-discussed “47 percent” remark. Noting that Romney’s gotten rather close to apologizing for it, he offered the GOP hopeful some advice: don’t.

“Romney has, at least to me, gotten close a couple of times on the stump to apologizing for the 47 percent comment,” Limbaugh said. “Now, what if he does that tomorrow night? What if he apologizes for it?”

Answering his own question, he added, “That would be bad. Don’t go there.” It “opens too many doors,” he added.
