This woman clearly deserved to be attacked for her testimony on two grounds. First, she misrepresented the cost of birth control. Target has pointed out it has a store very near the campus where birth control pills only cost $9/month. She claimed they cost nearly $100. She could/should have been attacked as deliberately misrepresenting the cost of birth control to Congress and the public for political gain.
Second, she should have been attacked as an example of exactly why making it free is such a terrible idea. As an aspiring lawyer, she should know that your representative of your class should support your argument. But her personal circumstances and testimony was the opposite. She and her law school friends weren't unable to afford BC because of the cost. They actually were able to afford it and did pay for it themselves. They just wanted to spend that money on something else, and therefore wanted it subsidized. Imagine that --- people going to one of the best, more expensive law schools in the country, rather likely to end up as part of the 1%, expecting a $9/month handout so they can spend more money on concerts, beer, or other luxuries. Ridiculous.
But rather than hammer her on those grounds, which make her unsympathetic, Rush chose the slut route. Stupid.
Rush spent hours hitting the exact points you mentioned. He also used a very logical and substantive route to label what she is doing as the same as a prostitute or slut. The later was perfectly acceptable, but those lines took on a life of their own. He probably took it too far, or at the very least should have handled it differently knowing there was a risk of having it used for propaganda purposes. Never before has anything he done been successfully used against sponsors or political gains. We’ll see how it shakes out this time.

And now that this has been blown up, he CAN bring those things up. Think anybody will be curious as to what he has to say today? Think he may even have more listeners than usual?
;-)
Really? It caught your attention, didn't it. Otherwise your beautiful constructed remarks would have never happened. Rush did it correct and this nitwit is a slut.
I don't care how that woman chooses to use her time and her body but to demand that I cover the costs of her choice is absurd on it's face!
That was what Rush was saying using words in an earlier time would have been calling her exactly what she is - a slut and a whore (the prostitute part fits as well in that she is demanding payment for her actions but not from her sleeping partners, whom she should have looked to in the first place, but to me!)
Usually Rush plays the left... this time they playd him and he jumped into their trap with both feet and mouth
