Hello Tim,

 >>> The same goes for Limbaugh.  Did he not just get let go from his
 >>> radio show?

 >> No. You should pay more attention.

 >> One of his oldest sponsors dropped him over some controversy....but it
 >> backfired on them. I'll dig that out and update you on it.

 TR> ok...a little update here, Joe.

 TR> Some idiot leftist babe who was in college at the time (law school, no
less)
 TR> testified in front of a Congressional committee in favor of birth control
 TR> being paid for by taxpayers (something to do with the Obamacare thing in
 TR> progress at the time).

Birth control is expensive, if having to pay out of pocket.

 TR> She `claimed' (and I was watching the hearing on CNN at the time) to have
 TR> over 300 sex partners per year! And she was adamant that *taxpayer-paid*
 TR> insurance should pay for both HER birth control AND abortion, should she
 TR> need one.

Sounds reasonable.  Access to quality healthcare is the first of
all human rights.  Doctors advise their patients as to what is in
their best interest, from a medical point of view.  If a patient
is unable to pay for the cost of that access, even with insurance,
then taxpayers should foot the bill.

 TR> Now...let me touch on a couple of things and I'll come back to this in a
min
 TR> minute;

 TR> First of all....`over three hundred sex partners a year'? Unless she's a
 TR> nymphomaniac (in which case she needs a psychiatrist!) it's unlikely she
 TR> actually has `over 300 sex partners a year'.

Prostitution is legal in Nevada (outside of Las Vegas).

 TR> Secondly...this gal is in LAW SCHOOL and isn't smart enough to: 1. Use
some
 TR> sort of birth control?

Maybe she was a barmaid, and only worked part-time with no benefits.
The cost of birth control is very expensive, especially for women,
and having to pay that cost out of pocket is only affordable for the
super rich.

 TR> 2. Make her sex partner use somesort of birth control?

Taxpayers would then have to double the cost.

 TR> 3. Birth control methods are cheap over the counter.

Guys only need a rubber.  Gals need more than that.  Much more.

 TR> She can afford LAW SCHOOL SCHOOL she can't afford a cheap method of birth
 TR> control?

The cost of tuition to go to law school is much more than you
might think.  Most law school students have to take out a student
loan in order to attend.  And it takes years for them to pay it
out after they graduate.  If they graduate.

 TR> 4. How does the taxpayer become responsible for buying her birth control?

We subsidize insurance companies with Obamacare.  Including the
cost of birth control as part of Obamacare makes us all responsible.

 TR> 5. How does the taxpayer become responsible for paying for her abortion?

Doctor/patient privilege.  If a doctor advises his/her patient that
having an abortion is in her best interest, then the insurance company
would be obliged to pay the cost.  Since we subsidize insurance
companies with Obamacare, that means taxpayers become responsible.

 TR> Limbaugh remarked about her testimony claiming 300 sex partners a year,
and
 TR> said a girl who had THAT many sex different partners a year was more of a
`
 TR> `slut' (and he was right!).

Oh, come now.  Sex is fun!  Did Jesus condemn the prostitute
who the townsfolk were about to stone to death?  No!  Jesus loved
women!  And women loved her!

 TR> Well!!! as expected, the leftwing went bonkers!

She became a folk hero for women, both liberals and conservatives.

 TR> And several of Limbaugh's sponsors dropped him (over 90 of them, I think).

Limbaugh is not as big a name as he used to be.  He faked being
deaf, and his claim of having had a cochlear implant made him a
laughingstock.  He was interviewed live by Tim Russert, and after
the first five minutes of a half-hour interview, Tim Russert just
let the guy rant.  And rant.  And rant.  All Tim Russert had to
do is smile the whole time, without ever having to say a word.

 TR> And one radio outlet (in Indiana, I think) dropped his broadcast.

Rush Limbaugh.  Arguably the one person on this planet with
a bigger ego than Donald Trump.

 TR> BUT! It wasn't long before the vast majority of his sponsors were coming
 TR> back.

Well, if it was between Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck ...

 TR> Even so....had they remained gone Limbaugh's show would have continued to
 TR> broadcast. Some of the sponsors Limbaugh refused to take back.

He was heavy into painkillers.  Addicted to them at one time.
Just like Prince.  Did taxpayers pay for his meds?  He did have
insurance to cover the cost.  Insurance that is now subsidized.

 TR> The only thing Limbaugh did in that brouhaha was he `apologized'. He did
NOT
 TR> apologize for what he'd SAID. He apologized if she was personally hurt by
 TR> what he'd said.

Why should she be upset?  Limbaugh made her famous.  She finished
law school, became a prominent attorney, and I presume met a bunch
of nice guys along the way ...

 TR> I would not have apologized, period! You don't apologize to a leftist.
Ever.

Bernie apologized to Hillary.  Does that count?
