You Dirty Sluts

[footfootfoot]

Or maybe it says something about the (alleged) intelligence of the people who consider you smart?

We'll stop there before we get to the people who consider you sexy.

back to Rush Limbaugh ...

I was going to post on this subject in the humor thread, or the tasteless jokes thread with the punch line about his apology delivered by the head ditto himself: "It wasn't personal."

ha ha ha

I laughed myself sick over that one.

she's a slut, she's a prostitute, and since we're all paying for your sex, video tape it and send me a copy.

or words to that effect. That sounds really personal to me.

[xoxoxoBruce]

Ah but it wasn't. In order for it to be personal, Rush would have to give a shit about her, which he clearly doesn't. The only reason she was used, is because she was the one testifying. The whole tirade was against Obamacare, the left, Democrats, et al.

Ah, but it wasn't. He went after her personally, not the policy of covering birth control on your insurance. That's the whole problem. He thought that what he said wasnt personal... it WAS.

Same as Maher and Shultz... they're all media WHORES!

Only if you accept Limbaugh's premise that the only things he said wrong was two words.

I've been saying this for years, now this woman is writing legislation about it. She's my new hero. Thanks for the article, c-man!

I’m fed up over all this concern, consideration and conversation over the feeble and fragile minds of women who are unable to make decisions on their own,” Turner said. “I thought it was time to show our men some love and some regulation. It was time to level the playing field for all.”

Turner said she started working on SB 307 about three weeks ago, and made sure the language mimicked the abortion legislation.

Turner’s bill would require doctors to get a second opinion from a psychological professional to verify that a patient has a medical reason for the medication.

It also would require doctors to inform patients in writing of the risks involved in taking the drugs; require that records about prescriptions for erectile dysfunction be retained in a patient’s file for at least seven years; and require men to sign a document acknowledging the risks of taking the medication, just like the anti-abortion bill does, she said.

Turner said she has received hundreds of supportive of her cause since she introduced the bill on Tuesday. She said she expected her bill to pass, just like the Heartbeat Bill did in the Ohio House in June.

“By implementing more intensive screenings before prescribing the medication and requiring outpatient educational services, we can do more to prevent the potential side effects linked to PDE-5 inhibitors,” Turner said in a press release announcing the bill. “We must advocate for the traditional family, protect the sanctity of procreation and ensure that all men using PDE-5 inhibitors are healthy, stable, and educated about their options -- including celibacy as a viable life choice. This legislation will do just that.”

Bwaaahahahaaaaaaa! Brilliant lady! Let's watch this go over like a lead balloon. I said recently that if men were subject to sneaky cancer like Ovarian cancer they would move heaven and earth to find better ways to detect and treat it. We ain't come that far, baby.

So yes, make the men jump through all sorts of hoops to get their Boner Pill. Really, think of their health. We must watch out for them.

[classicman]

Nope - sorry. All three of them did the same thing.
Rush is just getting way more attention from it.

[Happy Monkey]

That "same thing" was what, exactly?

[classicman]

Calling a woman a slut on the air.

[Sundae]

I was called a slut to my face once.
(sorry, back to some of the original discussion, I've been away)
I felt it was justified.

In hindsight it wasn't. I'd had sex, that was all. My choice of partner was poor (and the sex wasn't good) but the person who called me a slut was hurt and disappointed because he wanted to get jiggy with me and someone else got there first.

The person who has called me a bitch the most is my own mother, who throws in words like spiteful and selfish as adjectives.

Anyway.

I started using contraceptives at 16 for non-medical reasons.
I now have a contraceptive implant, on the NHS, and don't have sex.
I am both a slut and a drain on resources.

[classicman]

Rich, just get outside your norm. There is plenty of hatred posted from ALL sides on most any political page - just read the comments.

[footfootfoot]

Cool. Does that mean if I offer a woman birth control she'll have sex with me?

WHY DID I NOT KNOW THIS SOONER?

[Undertoad]

How carefully did you follow this story and how invested were you in it? If you spent more than five minutes concerned about it...

YOU ARE A SLUT

Not a traditional slut, but a political slut! Here's why!

1) There was no actual issue to begin with. The reason why we know this is that it happened at a congressional hearing.

1a) Congress are the biggest sluts in the land. They regularly hold hearings on things they have absolutely no actual interest in or even the ability to change, such as steroids in baseball. Federal legislators think they run everything and are the most important people in the world. The entire point is for concerned "leaders" to have their faces shot on TV looking all concerned. The process is a fake debate and the result doesn't really matter and nothing ever actually happens. It's all just sluttery.

2) Sandra Fluke is a slut. Not a traditional slut, but a political slut. The reason why we know this is that she claimed in front of a congressional hearing that

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."

People took the time to look into this statement and found that it was nigh impossible to spend $1000 a year on contraception. Depo shot = about $600/year, oral contraception = $200-600/year, implant = one-time $800 lasts 5 years, sponge = $4 per event, condoms = $1 per event.

1000 condom uses per year would make Ms. Fluke an actual slut. The simpler explanation is that she's a political slut. It is Not Okay to suggest that someone having enough sex to generate $3000 in contraceptive expenses is a slut... only because everyone on all sides knows full well that $3000 is a carefully-constructed lie, and lying is standard practice in political sluttery. And that's why...

3) Rush Limbaugh is a slut. This is well-understood by all sides. The entire raison d'etre of the Rush Limbaugh Program is political sluttery. It's professional wrestling. It's well-understood to be fake. Even when the show covers actual issues, it does so in as slutty a style as possible and so when the issue is SEX and there is politics, the fake debate will become the show's main concern. And what helps them get a huge audience is the barking opposition...

4) The people claiming outrage over Rush's statements are sluts. They know all of the above, but cannot help jumping into the fray and claiming to be outraged. But there is no actual outrage. Nobody's face is actually turning red over the idea that Rush Limbaugh would call someone a slut. There are no marches planned and even sponsor boycotts are sort of fake. But by the way...

5) The sponsors leaving the Limbaugh program are sluts. They knew when sponsoring the program that Limbaugh was a slut and the entire reason you sponsor it is to gain from sluttery. They made a calculated decision that leaving the show would get them more publicity and interest than staying on the show. Sure enough the first jumpers got a round of coverage and that led to a second round of jumpers trying to get the same coverage. But what they didn't realize was...

5a) The sponsors staying on the Limbaugh program are sluts. The ones staying have done the calculus that their name will now be dragged around and they will gain attention and sales from that. Really well played, Carbonite! And the reason this works is...

6) The Media are all sluts. They know all of the above; they're in the game and they know full well that their job is to get the crowd all worked up for the professional wrestling match. But the only reason they can actually do this is...

7) You are all sluts. You fell for it, because you love it. In the back of your mind you know it's professional wrestling and it's far more fun to play this shit than to actually study issues and think about real issues to debate. It's pretend-productive. It makes you think you're engaged.

On a basic level "slut" is just a fake accusation that you are sex-positive. And ironically, if you use contraception, being sex-positive is entirely fine. "Slut" should not be the pejorative term that it is, acting slutty is not even necessarily negative, and BigV has actually marched to defend that principle.
