March 2, 201214 yr Rush is taking heat for some comments he made about a college female who testified before a Congressional committee about birth control. FULL DISCLOSURE: I'm going off bits of info so I may be missing some key pieces. Supposedly called her a **** because she was having a lot of sex. Not sure if there's some context I'm missing here. Regardless, some advertisers have jumped ship as a result. Anyone with better details while I hit my google machine?

March 2, 201214 yr While I don't agree that he should have said it, I feel he's kinda got a point. I also took from the link Clyde posted, there must be a lot of desperate guys at Georgetown :lol:

March 2, 201214 yr A good point in what way? A person who has sex with a bunch of different people is known as that....If you're going broke off birth control because of all the sex you're having, maybe you need to re-evaluate some things.
March 2, 201214 yr Author A good point in what way? I'm not even sure what point was trying to be made other than his disagreement with the govt forcing insurance companies to provide no-cost birth control. Seems like an extreme way to get his point across - even for Mr Limbaugh.
March 2, 201214 yr A person who has sex with a bunch of different people is known as that....If you're going broke off birth control because of all the sex you're having, maybe you need to re-evaluate some things. Did the she say she was going broke because of all the sex she was having? From my understanding she testified in favor of birth control being provided in insurance policies and Limbaugh insinuated that the only reason someone would do that is if they were broke from having too much sex (which seems a leap in logic considering you don't take more pills based on how much sex you're having), thus ipso facto she's a *****.

Seems like an extreme way to get his point across - even for Mr Limbaugh. I'm not sure either. I think it's par for the course though. I'm usually told that he's being "sarcastic" or it's part of some sort of meta-discourse that I'm too ignorant to understand. So I'll wait until someone clarifies the true intention.

The article Clyde posted sure makes it seem like she said that. If not, and those were Rush's words, I rescind my previous comments.
March 2, 201214 yr Author A person who has sex with a bunch of different people is known as that....If you're going broke off birth control because of all the sex you're having, maybe you need to re-evaluate some things. What did she say to have you/Rush say that she's having "so much sex " that she's going broke? Was that said as part of her testimony?

She stated that out of pocket cost for birth control was over $3000 and that was a whole summer's worth of wages. She said nothing about having a lot of sex that was Rush's typically ignorant inference that she was having so much sex that she couldn't afford it. A monthly birth control prescription doesn't mean someone is a ****.
March 2, 201214 yr What did she say to have you/Rush say that she's having "so much sex " that she's going broke? Was that said as part of her testimony? The article you posted makes it sound like those are her words from testimony. As I said above, if I misinterpreted that, then I rescind my earlier comments.
March 2, 201214 yr The article Clyde posted sure makes it seem like she said that. If not, and those were Rush's words, I rescind my previous comments. She didn't say that. I just read her testimony and she said that birth control is expensive, that it should be considered a vital service (she mainly listed ovarian conditions that it helped prevent), and that it should be left up to women and their doctors rather than administrators. I think we can agree or disagree about her argument, but she didn't say she was having a lot of sex.
