SCHULTZ: Joining me tonight is Sandra Fluke , the woman Congressman Darrell Issa rejected as a witness today. Ms. Fluke is a law student at Georgetown University . Great to have you with us tonight, Sandra . Now, I understand that you already planned your testimony. You were going to cite examples of people who could have benefited from President Obama ‘s mandate for birth control coverage. Share with us what you would have told that committee today.
SANDRA FLUKE, GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY LAW STUDENT: That is what I was there to speak to the committee about. That's why I was so stunned when Chairman Issa made the decision to not allow me to speak on behalf of those women and to say that I was not an appropriate witness, that those women ‘s stories were not appropriate for this committee . I cannot think of who would be more appropriate for the committee to hear from than the women affected by this policies whose lives were affected. One of the women I wanted to talk about today is a close friend of mine.

But unfortunately when university administrators and employers and insurance companies get involved in deciding whose health needs are legitimate and whose aren't, what happens is that women ‘s health needs take a back seat to that type of ideology.

You know, if she’s going to offer herself up as a public figure, you would think she would have had the awareness to change her name first.
Heard Megyn Kelly’s (she’s a lawyer on FOX news) comments yesterday. Ms. Kelly says lawyers graduating from Georgetown makes as a starting salary $160,000 per year.
So that puts Ms. Fluke in the 1 percent!
Now, this 1 percenter wants the 99 percenters to pay for birth control?
We need to make a point of this.
Interesting comments. And of course Ms. Fluke trots out a story that is seemingly a genuine medical need, that the evil Catholic university and the insurance company simply ignored. Even if it’s legit to take birth control for stuff like endometriosis (sp?) I wonder what percentage of women on birth control use it for that reason (according to my wife it’s likely a small percentage).
I am not defending Rush using that word, he even admitted that it was in poor taste to use it and it made him look like Bill Marr.
My point is that she is not just some civic minded citizen who was forced into this political PUBLIC battle by Rush. Going on MSNBC with Ed Schultz to fight this battle shows her to be a political warrior public figure who cannot sue Rush as a private figure,.
What is your point? That she would sue as a private figure by pointing out that Schultzes ratings are not that great? She clearly went on the show to get the public to watch and believe her.
bttt
Is it just me, or does Ed Shultz look amazingly like Nikita Kruschev...???
Just sayin’...
Havin' a laugh at the expense of Ed and his dozens of viewers/family members?
He and Al Sharpton have the outraged act perfected.
“but yet doubles down on Schultz? “
My understanding of the article is she went on Ed’s show first. No double down. Instead, by going on Ed’s show, she sent the signal that the slut word didn’t seem to bother her.
I want an investigation to see if she is a woman. She looks a hell of alot like Maddow.
This is what happened....Somewhere, sometime in the past, Russian scientists took sperm samples from Kruschev...probably while he was passed out in a drunken, vodka-soaked coma...they secreted those li’l spermatozoas away until a future date when they could find a suitable donor to inject to create the NEW Komrade...
I’m almost certain this happened...it just so happens that a baboon in the Moscow zoo was bending over at EXACTLY the wrong time, one of the scientists was walking past, and of course HE was drunk too, and well...you see the results in the picture...
Well, IT could have happened...
Look at that — with Special Ed.
This interview is where I first saw her (Live) on MSNBC and I even posted a comment referencing it here.
I remember how she said that her college friends are joyous because they see free BC from obama-care as another Christmas day every-day. She said it’s their #1 issue, free BC.
How about her gay friends?
Absolutely correct. Her public statements and the public venue in which they were made does not allow her to claim the title of maligned private citizen.
