RE :”
Folks have made the argument that Rushs personal attack was somehow different than similar name-calling directed to the likes of Laura Ingraham, Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann. The argument typically goes something like this: Sarah Palin et. al. are public figures, while Sandra Fluke is a private citizen. But, in this instance, Fluke isnt exactly a private citizen. Shes a seasoned activist who introduced the subject of Georgetown law students sex lives to the national debate about the Obama administrations religious-liberty-violating contraception mandate.’
Looks like she hit the attention jackpot with this one. She will play this one to the limit as ‘professional victim’ national star.

But, in this instance, Fluke isnt exactly a private citizen.That is a legal question, and I am certainly no expert. But I can imagine the argument: "Should a citizen who comes before congress be subject to such damaging claims with no legal remedy?" (They could try to make the case that her fame was not really her own doing, but it happened beyond her control).
And as I have said before, the Left excels at judge-shopping. Her object would not be primarily to win in court (although Limbaugh might settle out of court), but to create a legal/political media circus.
I hope this does not happen, because I don't see it as a political plus for conservatism, unless some character like Hillary gets caught doing something illegal or undeniably sleazy (from the point of view of "moderates").
