Meet The Georgetown Law Student That Rush Limbaugh Called A 'Slut' Grace Wyler | 18 hours ago | 17,610 | 156 A A A inShare10 sandra fluke Courtesy of CSPAN See Also Rush Limbaugh Rush Limbaugh Called A Georgetown Student A 'Slut' And A 'Prostitute' — And Democrats Are Cashing In Democrats Cash In On Rush Limbaugh's 'Slut' Attack — Obama Just Called The Georgetown Student Himself Democrats Cash In On Rush Limbaugh's 'Slut' Attack — Obama Just Called The Georgetown Student Himself Advertiser Runs For Hills After Rush Limbaugh Calls Georgetown Student A 'Slut' Advertiser Runs For Hills After Rush Limbaugh Calls Georgetown Student A 'Slut' The contraception controversy erupted in Washington today over a spate of inflammatory remarks from conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh. Everyone from House Speaker John Boehner and President Barack Obama to the President of Georgetown University has been drawn into the fray. The uproar is centered around Sandra Fluke, a third-year Georgetown University law school student who was barred from testifying at a recent Congressional hearing on the Obama administration's policy requiring religiously-affiliated institutions to provide contraception in employee health plans. Fluke eventually testified before a House Democratic panel, telling a sad story about a female friend who lost an ovary because Georgetown's student insurance would not cover the birth control she needed to treat a medical condition. Her testimony sparked the ire of Rush Limbaugh, who accused Fluke of being a "slut" and a "prostitute" who is "having so much sex she's going broke." Limbaugh's outrageous attacks have now turned Fluke into a culture war poster-child for Democrats. President Obama has personally come to her defense, and Georgetown University officials released a statement today defending Fluke as the "model of civil discourse." Even Republicans have been forced to disavow Limbaugh's comments. All of this would have likely been avoided if House Republicans had just let Fluke testify in the first place. Her absence left the contraception panel with no female speakers, sparking outrage — and a major fundraising push — from Democratic women in the House. (House Oversight Chair Darrell Issa rejected Fluke's testimony on the grounds that she was "unqualified," arguing that the panel was about religion, not about women.) In reality, Fluke would not have been a very effective witness. As a student, she wouldn't even be affected by the Obama policy on employer-provided health plans. Georgetown actually offers contraception in its employee plans. Moreover, Republicans could have easily dismissed Fluke as a feminist activist. According to a bio on Georgetown's website, Fluke's professional background is in domestic violence and human trafficking advocacy. At Georgetown law, she is the former president of Law Students for Reproductive Justice, an editor for the Journal of Gender and the Law, and vice president of the Women's Legal Alliance. She has a bachelor's degree in Feminist, Gender & Sexuality studies from Cornell. Under normal circumstances, this resume would make Fluke an easy target for Republicans. But Limbaugh's misogynistic vitriol has made the 30-year-old feminist virtually untouchable, and Democrats couldn't be happier. Read more: http://www.businessinsider.com/w...luke-2012-3#ixzz1o47osMwG

How fucking dare anyone out there make fun of turtle after all she has been through.! She lost her aunt, she went through a divorce. She had two fuckin kids. Her husband turned out to be a user, a cheater, and now she's going through a custody battle. All you people care about is….. readers and making money off of her. SHE’S A HUMAN! (ah! ooh!) What you don’t realize is that turtle is making you all this money and all you do is write a bunch of crap about her. She hasn’t performed on stage in years. Her song is called “give me more” for a reason because all you people want is MORE! MORE-MORE, MORE: MORE!. LEAVE HER ALONE! You are lucky she even performed for you BASTARDS! LEAVE turtle ALONE!…..Please. Perez Hilton talked about professionalism and said if turtle was a professional she would’ve pulled it off no matter what. Speaking of professionalism, when is it professional to publicly bash someone who is going through a hard time. Leave turtle Alone Please…. ! Leave turtle Spears alone!…right now!….I mean it.! Anyone that has a problem with her you deal with me, because she is not well right now. LEAVE HER ALONE!
