The Kind-Hearted Smart Aleck

During a speech he gave at the Republican National Committee's winter meeting in Washington, former Arkansas Governor and current Fox News puppet Mike Huckabee said this: "I think it's time Republicans no longer accept listening to the Democrats talk about a 'war on women. The Fact is the Republicans don't have a war on women, they have a war for women, to empower them to be something other than victims of their gender. ... If the Democrats want to insult the women of America by making them believe that they are helpless without Uncle Sugar coming in and providing for them a prescription each month for birth control because they cannot control their libido or their reproductive system without the help of the government, then so be it. Let's take that discussion all across America." Yes, let's take that discussion all across America, Mike.

In response to the Obama Administration making Plan B available over the counter for women of any age, conservative talking head and woman voted most likely to have been a man in a former life - Laura Ingraham - said the following on Fox News Tuesday morning: "These girls can't get their ears pierced, they can't take an Advil at school without parental permission.

For a woman that is so anti-abortion, I find this to ...

Right-wing radio talk show host, Rush Limbaugh, has never shied away from making controversial statements. However, when he recently weighed in on the mandated-contraception debate, many feel he went too far. On February 23rd, Sandra Fluke, a third-year student at Georgetown University Law School, spoke to a Democratic hearing about why birth control coverage is necessary. She brought up one real-life scenario to illustrate this, as a friend of her's needed contraception to prevent ovarian cysts. She then used this story to state that without insurance coverage, contraception can cost a woman up to $3,000 during law school. Instead of listening to Fluke's testimony concerning her friend's need for contraception due to medical reasons, Limbaugh interpreted her words in another manner. On his February 29th show, he stated, "Can you imagine if you're her parents, how proud of Sandra Fluke you would be? Your daughter testifies she's having so much sex she can...
