So Rush still doesn't understand how birth control pills work. He doesn't understand that taxpayers wouldn't be paying for the women of Georgetown to have sex, as he said. He doesn't understand why Ms. Fluke was testifying on behalf of a fellow student who lost an ovary, and he doesn't understand why advertisers are leaving in droves and women all over the country are upset. In short, Rush doesn't understand anything about the situation at all. Well, when you're talking to someone who calls women "femi-Nazis" what do you really expect?
By the way, surely one of his four wives must have taken birth control. He has no children. That only leaves... a) impotence, or b) infertility, or c) no desire to have children. It does make you wonder which it is...
Anyway, ProFlowers has suspended their advertising on the show. Not good enough! AOL and TaxResolution have also suspended their advertising. They should all make a pledge never to advertise on that show again.
Very disappointing is the fact that the Department of Defense continues to say they will maintain their advertising. Firstly, Rush on a daily basis disparages and flat makes up lies about their Commander in Chief, President Obama. Secondly, the Armed Forces has tremendous problems with sexualization and marginalization of women, as well as out and out sexual assault. They have absolutely no business advertising on a show where women are treated worse than dirt.
I will be looking to see what Bill O'Reilly has to say tonight as well. Which gives me the creeps, just that I have to watch any part of that show... but I guess it's for a good cause.
Ms. Fluke, I'm glad you didn't take Rush's "apology" seriously, because he certainly didn't mean it be serious. But if advertisers keep fleeing his show, he might want to rethink that.
