Rush v. Fluke

It depends on what your definition of "bangs a lot of guys" is slut  (slʌt)  — n 1.     derogatory  a dirty slatternly woman 2.     derogatory  an immoral woman 3.     archaic  a female dog

“ In my yoot,  I would not have called these jeunes filles "sluts."  I'd have called them for a date to the Timonium Drive-in. My mother however would have used the slut word (and often did).    Like so many other things in today's Balkanized society,  word definitions are subjectively filtered to suit personal values, or interests.   Democrats, for instance,  often refer to themselves as "Americans."  Bill Clinton asked what is is?  So, this whole Rush Limbaugh v. Sandra Fluke thing comes down to this.  Ms. Fluke, unmarried, argued publicly in favor of  Obama's free contraception mandate,  because paying for it herself was a financial burden.  Rush and my parents immediately concluded that, here's a girl who's spreading her legs so often that buying protection would bankrupt her (financially).  Well hell, isn't that a spot-on evaluation?  The only real debate, then, is should he have used "slut" to describe her?  He could have used "screen-door,"slatternly,"promiscuous," matress-back," or "flappy-lips" instead, but he didn't.  So, to sum up, I'll borrow from a speech a fraternity brother once gave. “ .But you can't hold a whole fraternity responsible for the behavior of a few, sick twisted individuals. For if you do, then shouldn't we blame the whole fraternity system? And if the whole fraternity system is guilty, then isn't this an indictment of our educational institutions in general? I put it to you, Greg - isn't this an indictment of our entire American society? Well, you can do whatever you want to us, but we're not going to sit here and listen to you badmouth the United States of America. Gentlemen!
