Ole Roach Limburger lost several sponsors on his radio show for calling Sandra Fluke a slut in his intemperate rant against the third year law student and her demand that women at Georgetown University be provided with free contraception. The loss of sponsors got his attention and so, unable to stand the heat, he issued the following apology:
__"My choice of words was not the best, and in the attempt to be humorous, I created a national stir. I sincerely apologize to Ms. Fluke for the insulting word choices."
I don’t know how sincere the Texas Blivot (10 pounds of shit in a 2 pound bag) is, but here is my take on the saga of Sandra Fluke.
Fluke, a ‘reproductive rights activist’, said her fellow students at Georgetown were forced to use their own money to pay up to $1,000 a year for birth control or more than $3,000 while they were in law school. She whined that she was on a ‘Public Interest scholarship’ and she was forced to spend an ‘entire summer’s salary’ on contraceptives.
Let me repeat something I posted yesterday. The American Heritage Dictionary defines slut as “a woman of loose morals.” And Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary defines slut as “a promiscuous woman.” Since every major religious faith considers sex outside of marriage to be immoral, both definitions pretty well describe Fluke, an unmarried woman who spends $1,000 a year on contraceptives.
Of course, I know that I am not with it because of a generation gap, but those of us from what Tom Brokaw called THE GREATEST GENERATION, as well as younger seniors, believe that a promiscuous single woman with a need for spending an ‘entire summer’s salary’ on contraceptives is simply put, a slut.
I really do not think ole Roach owed Fluke an apology. With an ‘entire summer’s salary’ spent on contraceptives, she obviously likes to fuck a lot. Fluke made her own bed and now she has to lie in it. But Roach does owe the Republican Party an apology because his stupid rant has energized and mobilized America’s women, thereby all but assuring the reelection of President Obama to a second term.
As I said yesterday, if I were the president, I would send ole Roach a very big thank you card.
