Was I dreaming or is Rush Limbaugh really a prick?

In this picture, Teri and Cindy are watching the news and listening to all the nasty things Rush Limbaugh said recently. Teri looks upset as she wonders if she'll be able to get birth control when she needs it on her insurance. Cindy looks bored with the whole thing and probably doesn't understand it all. She knows I'll take care of everything.

Did I dream all this? Sandra Fluke, a Georgetown University law student, had been invited to testify to a House committee about her school's health care plan that does not include contraception. Republican lawmakers barred her from testifying. I caught a glimpse of the men all lined up in their chairs who were conducting the testimony. Not one woman on the panel - just a group of men who probably use viagra or cialis on a daily basis, paid for by their insurance. She was then invited to speak to

 Democratic lawmakers. Rush Limbaugh couldn't keep his mouth shut and said this girl essentially told the committee she must be paid to have sex which, he says, makes her a slut and a prostitute. He said she ought to be made to send a video of the sex when it took place.

I don't think I was sleeping and dreaming - I think Rush sunk to the gutter and uttered those words. When I hear men talking about birth control and abortion it infuriates me. Men should have no say in that. That is for women to decide what they want to do. But the Republicans keep chipping away at Roe v. Wade, ignoring other pressing problems in this country like the economy. I have never liked Rush and now I could very easily say I hate him. But that wouldn't help anything so I guess I'll just realize he's a prick that will never change.
