Again, you manage to be right for the wrong reasons.
Wikipedia Wrote:A person can also become a "limited public figure" by engaging in actions which generate publicity within a narrow area of interest. For example, [jokes about]... Terry Rakolta [an activist who spearheaded a boycott of the show Married With Children] were fair comments... within the confines of her public conduct [and] protected by Ms. Rakolta's status as a "limited public figure".
However, Rush's lies & insults were in no way "within the confines of her (Fluke's) public conduct" at the time.
