Conservatives should be accurate. She never claimed she was spending that much. She said that’s what it would cost, not that she personally spent that much.
“She never claimed she was spending that much.”
She said “we students have faced financial, emotional, and medical burdens as a result”. We means ‘we’, not ‘they’.
She said, “Without insurance coverage, contraception can cost a woman over $3,000 during law school. For a lot of students who, like me, are on public interest scholarships, that’s practically an entire summer’s salary.”
That certainly implies that she has experienced that cost.
She said, “We can only answer that we expected women to be treated equally, to not have our school create untenable burdens that impede our academic success. We expected that our schools would live up to the Jesuit creed of cura personalis, to care for the whole person, by meeting all of our medical needs. We expected that when we told our universities of the problems this policy created for students, they would help us.”
Again, we means we. It means she feels her school “create[s] untenable burdens that impede our academic success.”
Any fair reading of her testimony would be either that she is exaggerating her involvement as much as she is exaggerating the costs, or that she was saying that she had also shared in these burdens imposed by her school...
If I remember correctly, Rush never actually called her a slut, he said someone could call her one.

Conservatives should be accurate.
So should liberals, but we all know they won't, and I for one, am tired of getting the short end of the political stick because conservatives don't seem to understand they're fighting an enemy that has no moral standard.
Which, IMHO, was pretty much the point Rush was trying to make with his unapologetic 'apology'.
