You mean people in the Tea-Party? I'm pretty sure most don't like to be called tea-baggers. But of course they don't cry about it and try to change the story line. > Now, if the president called someone a Nazi or something, that would be > a little different. You mean like Larry often does?

She means when the insurance doesn't cover contraception. remember, that's why she chose to go to Georgetown. As I already posted, Georgetown offers medical coverage for birth control when used as a medicine. They also provide birth control coverage for employees so it's not even an issue of being a religious university. Also, she has an option to choose many other insurance plans for around the same rate in that area. So it's a fake issue altogether. > Regardless, calling her a slut and a prostitute for that was way out of > line. I don't care how you try to spin it.
