President Obama on Friday placed a call to Sandra Fluke, the Georgetown University law school student at the heart of the debate over the contraception law, thanking her for speaking out on the issue.
The call came a day after conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh demanded that Fluke release tapes of her having sex in exchange for the contraception that she argued should be covered by employers. Fluke was set to go on MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell Reports when the president rang her on her phone. She took the call while waiting in the green room.
"He encouraged me and supported me and thanked me for speaking out about the concerns of American women," she told Mitchell, who received permission from the White House to discuss the exchange between Fluke and Obama. "What was really personal for me was that he said to tell my parents that they should be proud. And that meant a lot because Rush Limbaugh questioned whether or not my family would be proud of me. So I just appreciated that very much."

TGT? Rush also asked for porn videos from her if she was receiving public funding.
Are you in for them too?

Difference or not, it's acceptable to express anger toward a public figure who conducted himself in a despicable way.

Did you listen to the hearing? Did you read the transcript?
SHE NEVER SAID SHE SPENDS $4,000 ON CONDOMS!!!!!
She said,
“Without insurance coverage, contraception, as you know, can cost a woman over $3,000 during law school. For a lot of students who, like me, are on public interest scholarships, that’s practically an entire summer’s salary. 40% of the female students at Georgetown Law reported to us that they struggle financially as a result of this policy."
Sure condoms are less expensive than prescription medicines such as the pill. But many men do not want their schlong wrapped up in rubber. "It ruins my experience." Eff you! What about the woman's experience of having an abortion or raising a child alone while you are off banging the next one?
Between Limbaugh's moronic, stupid, insulting diatribe and the yesterday's testimony on Capital Hill by the HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius where dumbarse Republican Senator Tim Murphy could not even begin to grasp how the Morning After Pill actually works I am beginning to believe there are those who follow or lead the Republican movement who will only be happy when women are dragged by their hair back to the dark ages.
This whole thing makes me puke!

Haven't heard more than ten minutes total of him in years.
He's been around what, 25 years now?
It seems like about once a year there's an uproar and it only seems to bring him a bigger audience.
He plays your ilk like a piano.

Somebody is confused here. Is it me?
Jeesh, creationists, if only Adam and Eve would have used contraception, then this world would not be hitting over SEVEN Billion Humans. I mean, a planet can only go so far and take so much.
Of course futuristic DC-10s could transport an entire civilization across millions of miles. Yeah, well, I agree, that was a long reach. (Kind of like the one on The Peanut.)

Even though I don't believe in welfare Rush Limbaugh came off as a fool tool.
Actually, the person that is going to re-elect Obama is Ron Paul when he runs as an independent and acts as a spoiler sucking Repugnican votes.
And Obama learned from Clinton, who went after gun owners in his first term, and paid for it in his second.
Obama is smart enough to wait until he is a lame duck before seeking a "legacy".

What used to be rush's schtick (saying absurd and easily provable false statements) is now the norm in right wing politics. Rush has to send the envelop flying off the desk in order to get any attention, like calling a law student a slut because she has to pay for her contraception.
I feel bad for that party, it's become the territory of the bat$hit with little room for anything else. Who do they think all those moderates are going to vote for??
