""a woman who is happily presenting herself as an immoral, baseless, no-purpose-to-her life woman"?

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.

As Fluke said:

"I’m here today to share their voices, and I want to thank you for allowing them – not me – to be heard."

I guess you missed that part when Rush did, eh? Do you understand that she made a point of saying she wasn't going to talk about her sex life or contraception? Do you understand that she didn't talk about her sex life or contraception?
