SO, for the folks on the left, this is a two headed issue, if I'm getting this straight:

1 - Fluke and company should be unfettered and unrestrained both in their behavior and in free access to birth control meds. In saying this, while there were a shortly list of individuals identified with health care issues, Ms. Fluke has no health issues. Her desire for access to publicly funded birth control is for contraceptive purposes.

2 - Limbaugh's behavior was over the top in implying that her behavior was not unlike a prostitute. He said this in an effort to illustrate the absurdity of her claim and did not call her a prostitute directly. But nevertheless, his behavior was beyond the pale.

So, let me ask a couple of questions:

1 - Ms Fluke is in the public arena now, willingly taken there by Ms. Pelosi and company to be made the lefts straw dog in the birth control "non-issue" the Dems are trying to saddle the Repubs with during an election cycle. Since she is now in the public arena - and as I understand was a bit of an activist at Georgetown - why should she be exempt from criticism? And if you want to take the position that "she's really a private citizen and not an elected official, therefore Limbaugh's comments were out of bounds", then isnt' this really just selective indignation? Certainly you're aware of over the top language by entertainers on the left directed at unelected opinion leaders on the right.

2 - If Ms Fluke can shell out for tuition, books and fees at Georgetown, why shouldn't she shell out for her own contraceptive needs? is it really Georgetown's or the taxpayers' obligation to keep her from procreating?

3 - Is Ms Fluke a single mom? I ask because I don't see any mention of children? If she's not a single mom, then I'd suggest her own efforts to fund her own contraceptive method of choice has been successful up to this point.
