Wasserman Schultz Says Calling Women Sluts Isn't Funny - Two Months After Doing Maher's Show

Wasserman Schultz Says Calling Women Sluts Isn't Funny - Two Months After Doing Maher's Show By Noel Sheppard Created 03/04/2012 - 7:14pm

Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz (R-Fla.), in response to the Rush Limbaugh-Sandra Fluke controversy, told the host of Meet the Press Sunday, "I don't know any woman in America, David, that thinks that being called a slut is funny."

This hysterically comes less than two months after the Florida Congresswoman appeared on vulgarian Bill Maher's HBO program Real Time (video follows with transcript and commentary):

REPRESENTATIVE DEBBIE WASSERMAN SCHULTZ (D-FLORIDA): Then the other news in contraception this week was Rush Limbaugh criticizing a young law student who stood up and said, look, at Georgetown Law School, not only am I required to pay for my own health insurance because Georgetown Law requires all students to pay for health insurance, but contraception's not covered. And what did he do? He called her a slut. A slut. And now I'm sorry, I know he apologized, but forgive me if I doubt his sincerity given that he lost at least six advertisers. And the bottom line is that the leading candidate on the Republican side for president couldn't even bring himself to call Rush Limbaugh's comments outrageous and call him out and ask him to apologize.

DAVID GREGORY, HOST: You're talking about Mitt Romney.

REP. SCHULTZ: Yes. Mitt Romney. What, what woman in America--and Rush Limbaugh, in that apology, said that he was trying to be humorous. I don't know any woman in America, David, that thinks that being called a slut is funny.

But Maher thinks that's funny and so do his fans.

On March 18, 2011, to cheers and applause, the host of HBO's Real Time called former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin a "dumb twat."

Then, according to the Dallas Voice, while performing at the Winspear Opera House nine days later, Maher called Palin a "cunt."

If slut is so offensive to Wasserman Schultz, shouldn't "dumb twat" and "cunt" also be?

Apparently not for on January 13, 2012, the Congresswoman appeared on Maher's HBO show.

I guess disgusting misogynistic terms are only inappropriate when directed at a liberal woman and just fine when said of a conservative, which perfectly illustrates the absurdity of the Left's outrage concerning what Limbaugh said about Fluke.

If Wasserman Schultz were really offended by Limbaugh's comments she would have been equally outraged by Maher's regular misogyny - as well as that of his audience! - and therefore would never go on his show.

But because he's a liberal that typically speaks her language and advocates for politicians and causes she does, he gets a pass.

For more on this pathetic hypocrisy, please Sunday's Daily Beast article by liberal Fox News contributor Kirsten Powers Sunday.

As for Wasserman Schultz and all the other liberals both in and out of the media supposedly offended by what Limbaugh said last week, they need to avoid HBO's Real Time at all costs in the future or be similarly exposed as misogyny hypocrites.

Stay tuned.

Isn't Wassermann a test for syphilis? That's what I always think about when I hear her name.

DNC Chairwoman Wasserman Schultz -- "I don't know any woman in America, David, that thinks that being called a slut is funny."

She needs to get out more...





This seems to be the same logic whereby blacks are allowed (and encouraged) to call other blacks "Niggaz" and worse. The world is weird.

Shouldn’t the President of the United States call Sarah Palin and apologize for the vulgar remarks of Bill Maher?

Someone demanding we pay for $1,000 a month for contraceptives is a slut.

The figure was never $1K/month.

Oh, but it is OKay for the sluts of The View to gloat for being so retarded in rightfully calling each other sluts and retards, because that is so Zero to do, to be a constipated gun and child hating dying drug addicted hag.

She is lucky, though, the Democrates are not calling her slut for not asking to remove her generous boyfriend and get a plastic doll instead. In their view, Fluke is a slut for daring not being some kind of OBama nothing.

Instead of being nice calling her a slut he should have called her a whore!

Maher is proof that the by liberals concern for women is limited to being able to use them for money and power.

As is Sandra Bernahrd.

and David Letterman.

Hush, only Obama is not a slut. He is our slut messiah of nothingness. The rest of us, democrates included, are sluts. There, this is what Rush should have mentioned.

But he is so sorry now...

Same way NOW reacts to misbehavior toward women by pro-abortion politicians.

More profound words of wisdom from Debbie Syphilis-Test. I’m surprised that Satan shares his bride with the world!

Odd how the Democrat-media complex wasn't offended by a media personality calling a woman a ' twat'... Maybe because Sarah Palin is a Republican, the members of the Democrat-media complex feel they can call her anything they want and it's 'funny'.

Here's what we know for sure: The New York Times is too dense to 'get it' - and if they do 'get it' they won't cover it because they're biased little pricks.

It was $3,000 a year. Do you have any idea how many condoms AND birth control pills can be bought for $3,000 a year?

Wasserman Schultz is offended when a LIBERAL woman is degraded. When it's a conservative women - she's probably telling the joke or laughing... Think German SS (Schultz) and Jews. Anything could be said about the Jews - nothing derogatory could be said about the SS. It's the same.

Like Lucy holding the ball for Charlie Brown, we never learn and always take the bait. Yes, there is a double standard. The left can go ad hominem and we can’t.

But pretending reality doesn’t exist won’t change the reality.

We win when we campaign on issues... Contract with America, TeaParty were both about issues. We lose when we take the bait of Monica Lewinsky and similar.

Life is not fair. But it is reality.

No, it was $3K during law school ... how long is that? 3 years? Here’s her direct quote from the transcript:

” ... contraception can cost a woman over $3,000 during
law school.”

Nevertheless .... even at $1,000/year, that’s still a lot of bc, no matter which form you use.

Birth control pills at Walmart sell for $9 a month - for three years of law school that's $324.

After three years of birth control pills are paid for she's left with $2,676 to cover the costs of condoms....

A box of LifeStyles Ultra Sensitive 40ct Condoms at Walmart runs $11.46.

For the $2,676 left AFTER buying birth control pills, she could buy 233 boxes of condoms (the 40ct boxes) - for a total of 9320 condoms over a three year stint at law school... or 3,106 condoms per year. Or in an easier way to think of it: about 8 1/2 condoms PER DAY.

Now the question is: what do we call a woman who uses - on average - 60 condoms a week?

Bill Maher of HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher referred to Sarah Palin as a 'twat' - to the laughter of his liberal (oh so sensitive) audience... We can't use that word - because it's NOT funny when a liberal is called a name. Only when a conservative women is called names is it funny.

I wonder what Maher and the other sensitive liberals would call Sarah Palin if she or her daughters were using 60 condoms a week - every week - week in - week out - for three years.

If Brietbart was here he would prove that Ms Flute is a lesbian, and ask why a lesbian needs $1000 worth of birth control.
