Fluke, who is 32, sounds remarkably like a college freshman rather than a middle-aged law student. If she wants something that’s expensive, Mom and Dad should buy it for her. They have lots of money!
But none of that matters, because when Rush Limbaugh saw a young woman talking about birth control in public, he went batshit crazy, as the saying goes, demanding that the evil slut strip naked and perform a sex tape for him, sounding for all the world like a slimy, sweaty, sex-crazed impotent old fool, which is precisely what he is.
Now there’s been a bit of a backlash against the hounding of poor Rush, who appears to have lost dozens of sponsors as a result of his three-day orgy of hate against little Sandra. Well, let the hound be hounded. Perhaps Republicans will someday learn that women regard birth control as their business, not that of right-wing know-it-alls.
Afterwords
Amid all of Limbaugh’s noxious vitriol was the amusing fact that El Rushbo clearly thinks that birth control pills work like his pill of choice, Oxycontin: take one, feel good! Take 10, FEEL GREAT! His rants were fueled with visions of Gtown girls gone wild, stuffing down handfuls of birth control pills before heading out to this week’s orgy. PAR-TAY 2NITE!
Correction: Fluke is 23, not 32. I was misled.
*Fluke did not testify before a an actual congressional committee. She wanted to testify before a Senate committee but the committee refused to hear her, on the grounds that the subject of the hearing was not birth control but rather religious freedom. Fluke spoke at an informal session ginned up by Nancy Pelosi, who knows a thing or two about the politics of birth control. Democratic control of the media? Pish-tosh! If only Rush and the rest of the right had kept their mouths shut. But they couldn’t. They can’t stand to see young women talking about birth control in public. And they can’t understand why they’re losing. Well, let them wonder.
