Nancy Pelosi Calls Sandra Fluke

Posted: 03/05/12 04:29 PM ET  |  Updated: 03/05/12 04:29 PM ET

Nancy Pelosi Sandra Fluke

After being called a "slut" by Rush Limbaugh, Sandra Fluke received a call from President Obama, and now House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has reached out to the law student caught in the crossfire of the contraception debate.

"Thanks to @nancypelosi for the call. I appreciate your continued concern and support," Fluke tweeted Monday afternoon.

Last week Pelosi called on House Republicans to disavow Limbaugh's remarks.

“They won’t disassociate themselves from it. They’re tattooed with that,” she told the Washington Post. “I wouldn’t want those words repeated in my office.”

House Speaker John Boehner called Limbaugh's attack "inappropriate" but stopped short of condemning it.

After Limbaugh's advertisers started pulling out of his show, he walked back his comments on Monday, describing his word choice as "uncalled for."

Fluke did not accept Limbaugh's apology.

Fluke seems like a "fluke" -- to try to divert attention from Obama's failed economic policy.

What Harry Reed and Joe Biden haven't called her yet? The left is milking this for all they can. Maybe they should try passing some laws that will benefit all of us instead of grandstanding with some promiscuous co-ed

Nancy Pelosi is an opportunistic parasite - these two have a lot in common, so I'm sure they had a lot to talk about.

Nancy, what about Bill Mahr's c***t description of Sarah Palin, oh and what about Ed Schultz calling Laura Ingram a slut? Apparently if you are a liberal it's okay to be misogynistic toward women! I have no sympathy with a Georgetown Law student, on scholarships, who upon graduation will probably make $160,000 per year TO START complaining about her birth control costs when it's actually pretty cheap to buy if you have to pay for it yourself, but in fact, can be gotten for free all over. This was strictly a political ploy by Obama and Pelosi and I do hope women don't fall for their game.

She will later read the Fluke story to see whats in it.

So, an extreme liberal Congressman calls an extreme liberal feminist activist .... and this is news? Did she also call her husband? Did she call to make restaurant reservations? Who else did she call?

I bet Obama will bring up Fluke on his speech at 1:15. I wonder if he will mention that his campaign is calling for his superPAC to return the million dollar donation from Billy Maher?

a "fluke" is a parasitic worm. Her name is aptly descriptive.

Abortion and contraception are religious issues. If you don't like the idea of abortion or contraception, don't have an abortion or use contraception. Don't expect the world to embrace your choices just because you feel strongly about them.

By the same token, as Cardinal Dolan said "Don't impose your teaching upon us and make us do as a church what we find unconscionable to do," This is a religious issue.

"Nancy Pelosi Calls Sandra, fluke"

Wrong Sandra was not a fluke, but a brilliantly planned scheme by the White House, the Politburo, and the shameless sycophants in the state owned media. Fortunately their opponents are the dimwitted, spineless Republicans who as usual, bring a knife to a gun fight!

This brilliant plan, to divert attention from the disaster Obama has made of the economy, began at the january 7 "debate," and has exploded from then. At the debate, DNC sock-puppet George Stephanflopolouse, inexplicably at the time, harangued Romney with questions about whether states COULD ban contraceptives.

Romney was taken aback by the ididotic question. He tried, in vain, to get off the subject that was at the top of NO ONE'S list of critical issues. Little Georgie simply wouldn't stop, even as the audience began to boo the biased little hack.

That was the genesis of what we see today. With the economy still in shambles, REAL unemployment at 9+%, economic growth miniscule, 1.7% in 2011, projected 2.2% this year, and 1% next year, along with the fed chairman last week saying we are headed for a cliff, and gas heading to 5-6 dollars a gallon,the last thing on earth these people want discussed is Obama's disastrous record. And naturally the Republicans are playing right along, nuking each other, and scared to death of exposing Fluke as the long time, left wing activist that she is!

Naturally, being a robotic liberal, you neglected tro mention ECAXTLY what I got wrong. You had lots of choices. So what did I get wrong.

I saw a great description of fools like you, and the Obamamedia today in another publication, and I simply had to copy it. "The MSM could catch Obama eating embryos while having sex with a corpse and they'll spin it as an unfair attack by the GOP!" Right on Bro!

HP is strictly left-wing and protects this administration. My post are reviewed and canceled if they contain any adverse truth about Obama.

Fluke Isn't the definition an accident? Isn't A fluke also called a flounder[also a flat fish], and used as a slang term to one floundering around,' not making it'. Now I know why she got calls from the President and Palosi. Next Reid and several other may call. Andy Warhol was right about 15 minutes of fame for everybody. Did they make personal contacts with anyone that lost family members in those tornados? This is their important agenda. This woman and what she has to spend on contraceptives!

A fluke is also a parasitic worm. Good comparison.
02:16 PM on 03/06/2012
I totally agree with and all the others that were nice enough to email me. I am so much more worried about Americans dying than anyone sex life. I hope the fluke doesnt get aids and sue Pelosi
