Rush Limbaugh: Sandra Fluke, Woman Denied Right To Speak At Contraception Hearing, A 'Slut'

Rush Limbaugh called the woman who was denied the right to speak at a controversial contraception hearing a "slut" on Wednesday.

Sandra Fluke, a student at Georgetown Law School, was supposed to be the Democratic witness at a Congressional hearing about the Obama administration's contraception policy. However, Darrell Issa, the committee chair at the hearing, prevented her from speaking, while only allowing a series of men to testify about the policy. Fluke eventually spoke to a Democratic hearing, and talked about the need for birth control for both reproductive and broader medical reasons. She mentioned in particular a friend of hers who needed contraception to prevent the growth of cysts.

To Limbaugh, though, Fluke was just promoting casual sex.

"Can you imagine if you were her parents how proud...you would be?" he said. "Your daughter ... testifies she's having so much sex she can't afford her own birth control pills and she wants President Obama to provide them, or the Pope."

According to Arbitron ratings less than 1% of the entire US population will hear Rush Limbaugh in an average day. The guy is on 600+ radio stations yet less than 1% will hear him on an average day. Beyond that...probably only about 0.5% heard that portion of his program that day.

Who fucking cares what he says? He does it to shock and to get attention.

that's Horse's Ass Quotient! Whatever the rottenest, most offensive Limbaugh bliovation, they will repeat it ad nauseum, until it provokes the desired reaction. Then they will proclaim that, however how boorish the Rush-gas emission, that "Rush is right again!"

He pays women to live with him so he looks like a regular guy, not a hate-filled, misogynistic, idiotic, lying blowhole.
