Too far? Sandra Fluke cartoon reignites debate over law student’s testimony
NY Daily News ^ | 3/7/2012 | By Nina Mandell

And you thought Rush Limbaugh's remarks were mean.

Syndicated conservative cartoonist Gary McCoy is receiving some nasty feedback — as well as some positive reviews — for a new cartoon he penned showing an unflattering and obese version of Sandra Fluke, the Georgetown Law School student at the center of the birth control debate.

The cartoon shows the Fluke character holding a Pro Choice sign and yelling "STAY OUT OF MY UTERUS GOVERNMENT" in one slide. In the next slide, she says "After paying for my birth control" … while writing "For a good time call … " on a men's bathroom door.

The cartoon echoes Limbaugh's misleading claims that Fluke was asking for taxpayers to pony up money for her to have a lot of sex.

With advertisers fleeing and even Republican presidential candidates not supporting what many see as outlandish statements, McCoy is one of the few semi-public figures to enter the crossfire with Limbaugh.

Readers on the Townhall.com, where the cartoon was posted, had mixed reactions about the cartoon.

"Vulgar and yet so true!," one woman wrote.

compared to Thomas, Fluke would still be a beauty queen.

>> She should be humiliated.
>> Further. She brought it on.

She may be asexual, but she portrayed herself as a licentious parasite.

I call fluke, “Porcupine Fluke”. If she had as many sticking out as she had sticking in, she’d look like a porcupine. I’ll give her the benefit of doubt that she is a Slut. However, I here the sluts have chosen her as Homecoming Queen.

“The cartoon makes totally unwarranted assumptions about her sexual proclivities.”

You must be a lot of fun at a barbeque.

“Thanks grammar police. Sometimes you just have to strike.

BTW, stay alert for “lose/loose”.

It drives me nuts.”

I’m glad you pointed out there mistake.

I make a lot of typos not taking the time to edit, yikes.

As soon as I see any combo of “there” for “they’re” or “their”; “to” for “too”; “loose” for “lose” I am done reading the comment. It’s not a typo. Nazi.

Too many Linda Vista drop outs are/our on these boards.

That is a district in San Diego. Could you have meant Rio Linda, the town Rush refers to when he is simplifying something for the ignorant?

Wouldn’t that make her “testimony” hearsay?

Sorry, that is two words: here say!

If Fluke needed $3,000 for contraceptives, which are used with sexual activity, not work-outs, then she is sexually very active.

I wonder when she has time to study her law books.

I also wonder whether she has ever read “Prosser on Tarts”?

And do you really need contraception when all you ever get it from is a sex toy?

I doubt what she said is considered testimony since she spoke before a subcommittee, not the full committee. Actually, from what I read, her “circus” was a PR trick and she was paraded out there by Pelosi and other Democrats. More appropriately, Ms Fluke prostituted herself.
