Rush Limbaugh can go f.....

You know what, nah. Not even worth my effort. Anyone with the kinds of personal problems he's had that insists on lashing out at others the way he does just begins to seem to me like someone who is profoundly unhappy with himself and his life. At this point it's pitiable, really. I don't even want to be angry about his bullsh*t anymore.

I wish I could just let his bluster join the background noise, but I worry that too many people do still listen to him and are influenced by him.

I'm busy enough to be on the outside of the news beyond basic headlines.

What did he do this time?

He called a female law student advocating in front of congress of birth control coverage a slut and a prostitute because asking for birth control coverage means that tax payers are paying for her to have sex. When people called him an asshole for doing so he doubled down and said that since the public is paying for her sex she should release a sex tape publicly on the internet.

What he really means is he thinks she's hot and wants to see her naked.

Well, the name calling is stupid, but he is correct about this point:However, paying for birth control is a helluva lot cheaper than paying for the kid (and the pregnancy care)

And... There is nothing in Obama's contraception mandate that would have taxpayers paying for contraception covered under private insurance offered to employees of private sector companies.

Perhaps much of the time, but there are reasons women take birth control other than to prevent pregnancy.

Plus - don't we pay for men to have sex with viagra? And birth control pills, to some extent. (If women aren't having sex, men aren't either, right? Who are they having sex with? oh. nevermind. ;) ) Most plans pay for vasectomies though...

I just feel that if men got pregnant too, we wouldn't be having this discussion.

Seriously - no birth control. No abortions. And if you do you're a slut*. (but of course, he'll cheat on his wife and that's all fine and dandy.)

*oh noes! What century is this?
