Pelosi rips Limbaugh over `slut’ comment, calls on House GOP to repudiate it

[Swede]

Congressional Democrats who have vowed to make the birth control controversy central to this year’s elections have been handed a gift in the form of one of the leading voices in the GOP: Rush Limbaugh.

In an interview with me, Nancy Pelosi considerably upped the stakes in this fight, ripping Limbaugh’s recent comments about women who use contraception as “obnoxious,” and calling on House GOP and other Republican leaders to publicly repudiate them.

Limbaugh recently derided Sandra Fluke, the Georgetown student who testified at a House contaception hearing, as a “slut,” adding that “all the women at Georgetown University” should put “as much aspirin...between their knees as possible.”

Pelosi said she was surprised that Republican leaders had yet to condemn the comment, but said GOPers would not be able to escape it. “They won’t disassociate themselves from it. They’re tattooed with that,” she said. “I wouldn’t want those words repeated in my office.”

1. The House GOP doesn't have a set of balls amonst them!

Pelosi has a bigger set then all the GOP men put together...and those GOP women, I guess they don't mind being called sluts, but if the shoe fits, right?

4. I just called her office and asked that she address why taxpayer dollars are being used
