The Rules Change So Quickly

So it was wrong for Rush Limbaugh to call a female college student a "slut" for asking the government to pay for contraception?

Well, "moocher," sure. Hey add condoms to the portfolio of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, and make them free, too, and you'd have a real party weekend combo. But "slut?" I wouldn't have gone there, but Rush did, I read.

The Left is all outraged (naturally). They who are so concerned with the delicate sensitivities of all women.

I just wish the Left would put out memos about when terminology changes from being liberating to being a gross revelation of deep-seated misogyny. I'm sure the journalists share that information amongst themselves. The public should get the same courtesy.

UPDATE: Thanks to Stones Cry Out for the link.

UPDATE: And the farce continues. Slut Walk of Austin, Texas, urges a boycott of Rush Limbaugh sponsors for his hateful words.

I have to say I admire the men in the Slut Walk protest picture. No signing up for ball room dancing or cooking classes--or going to religious services--to meet women for these clever guys. No, they go right to the organisation of easy chicks (not that there is anything wrong with that, of course). Still, "slut" is not the same as "attractive." Caveat oculor, and all that...
