Republicans Try to Create Their Own “Sandra Fluke” Moment

In the wake of the lessons learned from Sandra Fluke, what the Republicans seem to take from it all is not to be apologetic or remorseful of the wrongdoings of one of their sycophant, mouth pieces, but to find ever inventive ways to recreate the media firestorm that followed Rush Limbaugh’s vitriolic, odd, predatory, and cruel comments about Fluke, a private person speaking publicly about a national issue — but to their advantage.

Sandra Fluke was supposed to be a democratic witness at a Congressional hearing about contraception policy. However, the committee chair prevented her from speaking while only allowing a bunch of crusty old white dudes to talk on the sensitive issue.
