That was then deleted from the transcript on the website. Why? Was it because those of us reading it among the other words weren't reading it in context?
Well, if she was having sex 1-2,000 times a year, then that would be a pretty good description.
But NO ONE looked at Fluke and said, "Yep, she's getting laid 6 times a day, every day of the year!" That would be ABSURD.
Which leaves the other possibility: that she was lying about what goes on in an attempt to get government to mandate free birth control for herself and all other women in the USA. Which is also an absurd idea.
"Now, all of this is what I should have told you last week, 'cause this is what happened. I use satire. I use absurdity to illustrate the absurd. The story at the Cybercast News Service characterized a portion of her testimony as sounding like (based on her own financial figures) she was engaging in sexual activity so often she couldn't afford it. I focused on that because it was simple trying to persuade people, change people's minds."
What made it funny was the absurdity. As a serious character assault, it would be stupid. Why? Because no one would believe she was getting laid 6 times a day...and thus a serious accusation based on that would be absurd.
“Sex-Crazed Co-Eds Going Broke Buying Birth Control, Student Tells Pelosi Hearing Touting Freebie Mandate
A Georgetown co-ed told Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s hearing that the women in her law school program are having so much sex that they’re going broke, so you and I should pay for their birth control.
Speaking at a hearing held by Pelosi to tout Pres. Obama’s mandate that virtually every health insurance plan cover the full cost of contraception and abortion-inducing products, Georgetown law student Sandra Fluke said that it’s too expensive to have sex in law school without mandated insurance coverage.
Apparently, four out of every ten co-eds are having so much sex that it’s hard to make ends meet if they have to pay for their own contraception, Fluke’s research shows.
“Forty percent of the female students at Georgetown Law reported to us that they struggled financially as a result of this policy (Georgetown student insurance not covering contraception), Fluke reported.
It costs a female student $3,000 to have protected sex over the course of her three-year stint in law school, according to her calculations.”
