Rep. Joe Walsh: Sandra Fluke, You’re 31, ‘Get A Job’
Mediaite ^ | September 8, 2012 | Laura Donovan

It’s been quite a year for Georgetown University Law graduate Sandra Fluke, who fell into the spotlight after conservative commentator Rush Limbaugh called her a “slut” in February. The 31-year-old also spoke at the DNC this week, and Rep. Joe Walsh is not impressed. The Republican politician said during a Saturday campaign stop that Fluke needs to just “get a job” already.

--snip--

“So at the Democratic Convention Wednesday night their first prime time speaker was Sandra Fluke, whatever her name is. Think about this, a 31-32 year old law student who has been a student for life, who gets up there in front of a national audience and tells the American people, ‘I want America to pay for my contraceptives.’ You’re kidding me. Go get a job. Go get a job, Sandra Fluke.”

After a round of applause, Walsh continued, “I was offended. We’ve got Americans who are struggling…to buy sneakers that their kids can wear to school…We’ve got parents up and down my district who are barely keeping their house. And and and…we have to be confronted by a woman. The Democratic party, this is what they stand for. They’re going to put a woman in front of us, who is complaining that the country, you me and you, won’t pay the nine dollars a month for her contraceptives. How crazy is this? In a way it’s not her fault because we teach people this stuff…’Don’t worry, government will take care of you.’ We are raising these Sandra Flukes of the world who are raising Americans who don’t know how to take care of themselves. This a woman who feels entitled that we all should pay for her contraceptives,” he said. “This is what we are teaching Americans? That was embarrassing. That was embarrassing.”

"What song is that from?"

"Life's Been Good", Joe Walsh, 1978 from the soundtrack of the movie "FM".

With a little artistic license thrown in.

“Fluke has a job.......SPINSTER”

Your post implies that being an unmarried woman is a bad thing.

Fluke's boyfriend's father is a billionaire. She has a job ~ we just don't understand that kind of job.

She's obviously a converted dude ~ and all her crowd are into GBLT events and schedules.

Imho, she’s a spinster in the sense that unmarried men in their 40s and beyond were once considered bachelors. It’s an antiquated term that is a euphemism for something else entirely.

Hey, as a Navy man from San Diego, I take issue with that remark. A sailor on occasion might “go ugly early,” but we are downright prejudiced when it comes to whiny Socialists. ;~)

In retrospect, skank would've been the better term for Rush to use. Using the more invective slut only gave this common skank power.
