This whole uproar about Sandra Fluke, contraception, Rush Limbaugh and the like has really highlighted the hypocrisy on the left regarding today’s political, cultural and legislative environment.
Let’s consider the Sandra Fluke controversy, a mindless political exercise if there ever was one. I may be missing something here but perhaps some of you can set me straight. Here is my understanding of the events.
Item 1
Sandra Fluke a third year law student at Georgetown University testifies before a Congressional Committee. Fluke an utter nobody was substituted by Democrats in a last-minute witness-switch to testify about contraception at a hearing on “religious liberty.”
Item 2
The Oversight and Government Reform Committee declined to accept this 11th-hour witness on the grounds that Fluke did not have appropriate credentials for any congressional hearing, much less one on “religious liberty”.
Item 3
Not to be outdone, Nancy Pelosi, Democratic conscience and winemaker uses an even less appropriate committee to ensure that Fluke’s “voice” would be heard — the Democrats’ Steering and Policy Committee, the normal function of which is to give House Democrats committee assignments. One longtime Democratic operative admitted privately that Fluke was the least-qualified witness ever to appear before a congressional committee.
No one paid for my face lift!
Item 4
Fluke states in her testimony that in order for her to have sex for three years while she was at law school she would need to spend over $3,000. In other words, Sandra would have to work all summer to pay for her right to have sex!
Item 5
Rush Limbaugh, the conservative talk show host, calls Ms Fluke a “slut” for wanting to be paid for having sex. Granted, a boorish comment but it pales in comparison to the misogynistic rants against women (only conservative women mind you) by entertainer Bill Maher.
They refuse to pay for my Viagra!
Item 6
The Liberal media goes nuts and MoveOn.org proclaims this a “Republican War Against Women” It’s a bit hard to understand the outrage given liberal womens’ constant talk about their vaginas and their continued world-wide promotion of “Slut Walks”
Is that Sandra Fluke in the back?
Item 7
A light bulb goes off in President Obama’s head: “what a great idea!…. “A Republican War on Women” let’s run with that.
At least I can blame the Republicans
Item 8
Barack The Pretender immediately calls Ms Fluke and extends his sympathy and support for her courageous stand.
Sandra…you realize that every time you take a pill….they make money!
Item 9
Women’s groups attack the Limbaugh show and its sponsors causing certain sponsors to withdraw from the show. Limbaugh apologizes to Ms Fluke who immediately appears on ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC and The View and rejects his apology. Bill Maher on the other hand, accepts it!
Baba Wawa: “Sandra if I had to pay for all of my contraception I’d be broke by now”
Item 10
And of course, Gloria Allred wants Rush Limbaugh to be prosecuted for his controversial comments and sends a letter to the Palm Beach County (where Limbaugh is based) State’s Attorney demanding action.
Hmmm…I wonder who Limbaugh’s housekeeper is?
So there you have it : an example of the Republican War on Women!
Does anyone remember David Letterman calling Sarah Palin “a slutty stewardess look alike”? Evidently not Michelle Obama …….because she’s scheduled to appear on the Letterman show next week.
As it turns out, Fluke the Flake… the brilliant Johnson County child support attorney that she is, did not remember some of her Facebook postings. So while she was pleading poverty and not being able to afford $1000 annual contraception costs (actually about $120 per year at Wal-Mart), photos of her and a male companion jet setting to Madrid, Barcelona and Venice popped up all over the internet.
Here’s what I did with my savings!
I‘ve been watching recent clips of the President campaigning and blaming Big Oil for rising gas prices with the ridiculous sound bite….“every time you fill your gas tank—they make money!” Duh..perhaps because they pump, transport and refine the oil into gasoline?
Given that Big Pharma profits are much higher than Big Oil, I presume the President must have told Ms Fluke when he called her: “remember Sandra, every time you take one of those pills—they make money!”
Let’s not forget:
With 234 days left until Barack The Pretender gets voted out of office
US National Debt stands at: $15.5 trillion
Unemployment stands at: 15.2 million people
The price of gas is: $3.83 for a gallon of Regular
And that’s the way it is here: a little left of right!
