Some Georgetown student testified before a Democratic panel regarding the need for insurance to cover the cost of contraception. She said that obtaining it through her school was too costly.
So what does Rush Limbaugh, the leader of all things conservative, say?
"What does it say about the college co-ed [Sandra] Fluke who goes before a congressional committee and essentially says that she must be paid to have sex -- what does that make her? It makes her a slut, right? It makes her a prostitute. She wants to be paid to have sex. She's having so much sex she can't afford the contraception. She wants you and me and the taxpayers to pay her to have sex."
Democrats, Republicans, and dang near everyone else criticized him. And President Obama (showing why he will win in the Fall) called Sandra Fluke this morning to offer words of support.
Limbaugh is at it again today, but there's no way he can win this. It's a joy to watch a man filled with hate and lies finally squirm a little.
Edit: On Saturday, with advertisers bailing left and right, Rush apologized. Not because he's sorry but because he fears a loss of income. Pathetic.
