“You and me baby we ain’t nothin’ but mammals so let’s do it like they do on the Discovery Channel. Do it again now! You and me baby we ain’t nothin’ but mammals, so let’s do it like they do on the Discovery Channel. Gettin’ horny now!” ~The Bloodhound Gang~
Who would have ever thought that the theme for Obama re-election campaign would be the Bloodhound Gang song, “The Bad Touch”? But here we are. He can’t run on his record. That would be like sprinting into the DNC headquarters wearing an explosive, terrorist suicide vest. He won’t run on reducing gas prices (despite his 2008 promise), because he and his administration have said they favor the sort of pain at the pump that acts on the budgets of middle American families like a flesh eating virus. He can’t run on Obamacare because even in polls that oversample Democrats, the government takeover of the healthcare system is still extremely unpopular. So what is plan B? They found a random college chick with enthusiastic sexual habits and pinned all their hopes on the unfertilized eggs in her basket.
For those who have not been introduced to Sandra Fluke yet, she is the victim dejour for the liberals who are trying to pretend that Republicans want to ban all contraception. She is a Georgetown University student who testified about her sex life to the Democrat members of the House of Representatives. According to Ms. Fluke, she runs through over $3000 worth of contraception a year while satisfying her sexual appetites. Or were they run through her? I guess that doesn’t matter. The truth is that she attends college in Washington D.C and free condoms are available to her from a score of clinics. So she really shouldn’t be whining about the cost of safe sex. For her D.C. should be like trick or treating at Bob Guccione’s home. Despite this she is insisting that insurance companies pay for her contraception. So that is Sandra Fluke. If you are a single guy who lives on the East Coast, you probably already know her.
Sandra is getting her turn on the American Idolesque stage of identity politics that defines how liberals run for office. The formula is simple: find someone you can pretend is a victim and try to blame their pain on anyone who doesn’t agree that Planned Parenthood is the moral equivalent of our founding fathers. The difference with Ms. Fluke is that they are not fighting for the poor or the rights of minorities (in truth they never fought those battles either, but that is another issue), what they are going to battle for is her right to have somebody besides her foot the bill for her lifestyle of unlimited nookie.
Let’s start with the undeniable fact that there is no legislation that has been offered (or even hinted at) that says Ms. Fluke can’t have all the safe sex she wants. Nobody is trying to deny her access to birth control. She can use all the contraception she wants so long as it doesn’t violate any international treaties or the laws of time and space. She just may have to pay for it herself. If she attends or works for a religious institution whose beliefs prohibit providing her birth control, their verifiable first amendment rights trump her imaginary right to get her freak on. Despite this, the left is trying to make the argument that the insurance companies (to whom the religious organizations pay their premiums) should be mandated to violate the first amendment and provide birth control to those covered under that religious institutions insurance policy. The constitution is to be stepped on in favor of a phony woman’s health issue.
Only a person with the IQ of a fiddler crab would call insurance provided birth control a woman’s health issue. Well that, or somebody who is so hopelessly to the left that they have given up on the constitution in favor of mob rule and free welfare cheese. Insurance is there for life’s medical emergencies and things that are way out of our control. If you hear the words “there is a shadow on your lung in the x-ray” insurance is meant to cover that. If you trip over your wiener dog and break your arm, Insurance is meant to cover that. Even if you eat yourself into a rampaging case of diabetes, insurance covers that too. To assume that insurance should cover Ms. Flukes’s birth control pre-supposes that she is a mindless rutting beast who is physically and intellectually incapable of saying “no” to sex.
Sandra Fluke complained that the price of her birth control was becoming burdensome. The truth is that her sexual activity is purely recreational. In other words, sex is her hobby. Nobody should be mandated to pay for contraceptive devices that she can easily provide for herself. If insurance companies are mandated to start providing the accessories for our hobbies than shouldn’t they pay for my D&D supplies as part of a men’s health initiative?
In the end, there might be more going on here than just “health”. By piling up more mandates, the government forces the insurer to pass the expense on to their customers. If the premiums get so high that people can’t afford them, their business will evaporate and obviously an insurance company would go bankrupt. If they try to keep up with every silly little mandate without raising prices, they will hemorrhage cash until they eventually close their doors. Either way the outcome is the same. Eventually the choices will become so few that most will wind up enrolled in Obamacare by default. Who would have thought that the “death by a thousand cuts” approach to killing the healthcare industry would start with something wrapped in latex.

This was on target. You should go to the fron page of PJM.
Sandra Fluke … pinata for D&D types… LoL
I’ll say it again: take up a collection to get her spayed.
Fabian socialism on steroids.. and human growth hormones..
Obamacare will mandate that for Obama’s civilian forces.. just watch.. rage is needed for submission mandates..
She’s lucky I was not on that panel. $3000 in 3 years? $1000/yr? Really? How? Did all the free clinics run out of free condoms? Are you dating the entire football team… all at once? Or are you lumping in the costs of treating all the STD’s you likely acquired? I mean, you DO know that treating an STD is not classified as birth-control, right?
So, exactly how often do you have sex… each night? How many partners? Male or female? Are these sex parties? Are you providing all the (ahem) condiments? Or is it strictly BYOR – Bring Your Own Rubber? Or is it a party for which you charge money? Is that how you are paying your way through an elite law school? Oh, wait, you don’t need to? Because, really, you are one of the 1%, right? Another rich, white girl at 30 going to college on her Daddy’s dime, right? And now you are whining that your insurance policy does not enable you to spread your legs wide enough to accommodate all comers?
You lied about your age to right? Did you do that for the guys you boinked, too? So you could get some young stud? Because, maybe they, you know, would not want some… creepy… older woman who preys on young men? Why do you want them so much? Is it because you are insatiable? Is that a physical problem or a psychological one?
By the way, you DO know that the Muslims would stone you as a whore, right? They would bury you to your neck and use you for pitching practice. And you know, I do not think I would even raise a hand to stop them. After all, could you really say they’re wrong?
The questions would flow, and she would not get to answer. It would be a litany of accusing questions, with no chance to refute the imputation. On and on it would go. My grilling her would be the greatest YouTube video of all time. Dems want to play dirty politics? I would make their sympathetic “victim” bleed. No one would dare step before my committee again and try this s***! I’d make them all cringe in fear.
“You lied about your age to right?” Oops. … age, too, right? I was on a roll. Sorry.
Headline: Rush calls Sandra Fluke a “slut”!
I have been a very long time listener to Rush Limbaugh. My wife and I have had the honor of meeting him. But now I learn that Rush called the 30 year-old “lady” from Georgetown Univ. a “slut”. Now I find it hard to fully express my disappointment with my old friend Rush. Because he called her a slut? Hell no! But because he later apologized…..to this far-left, wacked-out,liberal, I-want-everyone-else-to-pay-for-my-24/7-breeding-addicted, jerk. Sometimes I wish you weren’t such a fine gentleman, Rush. Truly disappointing.
Look at it this way: thanks to Rush, anytime anyone does a web search on her name, there will be thousands on hits on Sandra Fluke slut. My prediction is that some left leaning law firm will hire her for her “celebrity value” in Democrat circles.
~sigh~
Who cares? Is this what 2012 has come down to? After all the promises from the right about taking back this country, they totally took the bait on this non-issue? They actually followed the narcissistic, arrogant twits of the Catholic Church hierarchy down this path?
Frankly, if Obama could so easily, so handily, so absolutely derail the right’s hopes of taking back the White House, he deserves the win.
Nora, it’s arrogant and narcissistic to assert one’s religious freedom? Count me in – and I ain’t religious.
It’s all about religious freedom. Don’t let anyone define the battleground otherwise. It’s just a sham.
BTW, I think churches should be able to use ganja or peyote in their rituals if they claim it as a religious right. But…that religious right went own the tubes a while ago. Soooo…first they cames for the Rastas – now it’s the Catholics. Let’s just be consistent, now…
Note that Scalia, my hero, mentioned that it might not be possible to ban alcohol because of religious Jews and Catholics. (And tonight is Purim!)
Quote: “If insurance companies are mandated to start providing the accessories for our hobbies than shouldn’t they pay for my D&D supplies as part of a men’s health initiative?”
Speaking as a fellow D&Der, I can definitively say this is more expensive than Ms Fluke’s contraceptives. I’d say they should offer free broadband, too…but they’re already working on that.
I don’t think D&D is the right metaphor for this administration. I think Call of Cthulhu is, and I think I’ve failed a few SAN rolls following the news the last three years.
Sandra Fluke turned out to be a 30 year-old career leftist activist who decided to attend Georgetown Law SPECIFICALLY because their health policy did not include contraception. She has already been agitating for several years on campus over this issue. This whole thing was set up, stage-managed and coordinated well in advance, with all the MSM pre-briefed and Obama himself in on it. Just like the Scopes “Monkey Trial” or the Montgomery bus boycott, it did not just happen. El Rushbo stepped right into it with both feet and gave them just what they wanted. Even now, the usual suspects are still pretending that Ms. Fluke is little Mary Sunshine and refusing to discuss her background. It has already been pointed out that CVS charges about nine bucks for a months’ supply of birth control.
Along those same lines, did it ever strike anybody that Bradley Manning complained about DADT after voluntarily joining the military? Did he not know about it? Hmmm, funny. I knew about it, and I’m not even in the military.
We get hit with these attention-whoring set-ups more often than we know.
The first thing I thought when I heard this Fluke person claim she’s spent $3000 on contraception in three years was, “How on earth can she be in law school if she’s spending EVERY WAKING MINUTE having sex? No wonder a diploma means next to nothing anymore!”
Too much to write here (about sex being a distraction from everything necessary to build a civilization and a great sort of “candy” to control the masses) but I’ll settle for just saying this: I’m sick of the lie; the constant harping about how “People have always had sex this much!” “Really?” I ask. “Then what was the sexual revolution about?” “Um… just finally ADMITTING that we’ve always done it this much.” “So we weren’t sexually repressed, then – just repressed about talking about it constantly?” “How did they manage before legal abortion, free condoms, the pill, etc.? They must have been up to their necks in babies!” “Er… um… they were repressed!” “So, then, they WEREN’T constantly having sex.” “Er… um… yes they were!”
The fact of the matter is that there was a time when you took your date to the prom, took her home, kissed her on the front porch and said “Goodnight.” The people who did falter wound up like Bristol Palin: “Oops! Well, I guess my partying days are over and I’m raising a kid.” If you did the adult deed you acted like a damned adult. (Of course, this was news to Levi Johnston.) I went to school in the ’70s; we had one girl get pregnant in my class. Today? Well, there’s a daycare at the school.
Bottom line: the “Let’s all have sex” crowd don’t know what the hell they’re talking about. The vast majority of people DID INDEED behave themselves. It’s no wonder homosexuality is accepted now; because now EVERYONE’S acting like life is one big party at Freddie Mercury’s house!
Little Miss Sunshine was given the kid glove treatment on The View this morning. All sympathy and hugs, with kisses all around.
Oh, and Little Miss Sunshine didn’t accept Rush’s apology.
She is being stage managed by some of the best in the business.
– Whoopi needs to return to the wimple and the other shrews are common scolds.
Read Sandra Fluke’s testimony before you jump on Rush’s bandwagon and malign her.
Be objective as you hear or read what she has to say, no matter what side of the issue you are on.
See
In this statement, she has said, “Without insurance coverage, contraception can cost a woman over $3,000 during law school.” She didn’t say anything in her testimony about her own personal contraception practice, if any, or how much it may cost, if anything.
Unless she said something else to the contrary, the above commentary is misinformed at best — childish and downright nasty at worst. “Her lifestyle of unlimited nookie,” “If you are a single guy who lives on the East Coast, you probably already know her,” and other slams are drawn completely out of thin air.
I’m a longtime PJM reader and a conservative, and I expect more from this site than the cruddy, uninformed sludge you presented here. I’d much rather see a justified questioning of her many anecdotal “points” and entitlement-mentality conclusions than an attack on her character. Grow up, already.
“In this statement, she has said, ‘Without insurance coverage, contraception can cost a woman over $3,000 during law school.” She didn’t say anything in her testimony about her own personal contraception practice, if any, or how much it may cost, if anything.’”
Or $108 for a year’s worth at her local Wal-Mart or Target.
Prescription laws require that you obtain a doctor’s “permission” (for which you have pay him) to obtain contraceptive drugs. Was the visit to the doctor covered under insurance or not? Even so, the $3,000 ($1000) a year appears to be somewhat “questionable”. As for non-contraceptive uses, these would likely be covered. There just isn’t enough data here to separate the facts from the propaganda. The entire issue appeared to be “manufactured” for political reasons. In any case medical insurance should be for treating conditions over which you have no control. I don’t think sexual activities would qualify. If we’re going to pay for her birth control, maybe those men less “lucky” should have free subscriptions to Playboy, Penthouse, Hustler, etc for the purpose of assisting in masturbation, relief of their sexual urges. Apparently health insurance also pays for treatment of erectile dysfunction so we’ve already moved well beyond the concept of “medical need”.
“I’m a longtime PJM reader and a conservative, and I expect more from this site than the cruddy, uninformed sludge you presented here.”
Many of these provocateurs from the Left claim they are long-time conservatives before they start smearing the slurs around. Some may have believed John in the past, but commenters from blogs like Stinkprogress have learned this doesn’t work anymore. I guess John missed that teachable moment.
Not to mention, we can check on whether or not a “longtime PJM reader and a conservative” has ever commented here before and is only just now choosing this moment to go concern trolling…
She gave no testimony. She spoke at a press conference.
Since you’ve taken our my source URL in paragraph three, please remove the “See” as well. Thank you.
Your splitting hairs Mr. Talbott. She IS a woman in law school, so her comment by its very nature applies to her as well. As far as addressing the greater points of this debate, your obviously stopped reading after the part about East Coast guys.
“…taken out…” Sheeeeesh.
“Sheesh” offends me. It’s a dog-whistle word for taking the name of “Jesus” in vain. Please be more circumspect about such things.
‘Without insurance coverage, contraception can cost a woman over $3,000 during law school.’
Sure, it’s possible…if you’re a hooker in law school. Whores have to spend fat bank on all those condoms, and also on the odd abortion. It adds up.
Of course, no normal person is paying $1,000 a year on contraception…or anything close to that.
But, prostitutes do.
Maybe, that’s how Sandra’s paying that $40,000 a year tuition.
How about it Sandra? Is that how you’re working your way through college?
John, let’s try a syllogism on you to see how you like it:
You said Fluke said:
Term 1): “Without insurance coverage, contraception can cost a woman over $3,000 during law school.”
Term 2): Fluke is a woman in Law school:
ERGO: Without insurance coverage, it can cost Fluke over $3000 for contraception.
POTENTIAL ERGO: Oh those women in Law school! Bada bing bada boom bada bip and Hubba hubba.
Now up to 12 companies that have dropped Rush: http://www.investorplace.com/investorpolitics/9-companies-who-have-pulled-ads-from-rush-limbaugh/?cc=msnfeed.
I have emailed 7 of them. Sample below. Boycotts go both ways. Think about doing likewise.
I’ve shopped at Sears for over 40 years, but no more after your shabby treatment of Rush. Levis Strauss quit contributing to the Boy Scouts in the 1990s because of their policy that homosexuals would not be allowed to be scoutmasters. I wrote to them and said I would never buy another thing from them, and I haven’t. Welcome to my club.
We should note that in the testimony she excluded herself. Supposedly in interviews she hasn’t.
This would be a good question:
If a male student testified that he needs other people to pay for his condoms so he can fool around a lot, we would call him a sleazebag. Levaing out the unusual cases you mentioned, how are the women you calim to represent different?
False chivalry rides again!
I haven’t heard Sandra Fluke’s testimony, so I’m not sure if she actually said exactly how sexually active she might be, but if I understand how BCPs actually work, you have to take them all month long for them to be effective, right? So even if she only has sex once every couple weeks, she’d still have to be taking the pill every day. I don’t know if the formula has changed, but that’s the way it was 35 yerars ago, anyhow.

Uhm, “we” pay for recreational-sex Viagra. Unlike hormonal birth control, which can actually cure or mitigate disease conditions, there’s no use for Viagra except for propping up the tiny, floppy hoses of physically disgusting old men for the ten seconds of mindless grunting ugliness they inflict on their bored wives or their bored prostitutes. But “we” shouldn’t have to pay through our insurance premiums for the pathetically selfish nookie of a bunch of grotesquely fat, poor, liver-spotted, ass-bellied old failures. Whoa, is that you? Sorry, truth hurts.
If you can’t get it up anymore, boys, and you can’t pay for your own Viagra, then maybe it’s time to play shuffleboard instead of making other people pay for your “fun.”
