Being Cool

Ugh

“It would’ve been nice if they had shared that with the larger public, the Republican leaders. Instead, Mr. Boehner comes out and says, Rush’s language was inappropriate. Using a salad fork for your entree, that’s inappropriate. Not this stuff. I mean, and Rick Santorum says well, what he says was absurd, but an entertainer is allowed to be absurd. No. It is the responsibility of conservatives to police the right in its excesses, just as the liberals unfailingly fail to police the excesses in their own side. And it was depressing, because what it indicates is that the Republican leaders are afraid of Rush Limbaugh. They want to bomb Iran, but they’re afraid of Rush Limbaugh.” -George Will

George Will said this and he ain't exactly a Democrat. Rush Limbaugh called women who use birth control sluts and prostitutes. In fact, he said that the woman he was attacking was 'having so much sex that she needed so many birth control pills." Just an FYI, you don't take a pill every time you have sex. Just one a day.

I digress.

The Republicans are arguing this from the stand point of religious freedom and the new healthcare law requiring even Catholic hospitals and institutions to provide insurance that covers birth control. But, when Rush Limbaugh, the Republicans' golden boy, makes such inflammatory and clearly anti-women statements, how are we supposed to believe it is about freedom of religion and not a war on women? Really? We aren't stupid. 

Happy Monday. Life is not a bitch.
