Foster Friess, keep an aspirin between your knees 2012 statement




He was a big GOP donor.


I saw it on Andrea Mitchell's show, I gasped out loud.
from his wiki...

While being interviewed by NBC correspondent Andrea Mitchell regarding contraception, Friess said, "And this contraceptive thing, my gosh, it's so – it's such – inexpensive, you know, back in my days, they used Bayer Aspirin for contraception. The gals put it between their knees and it wasn't that costly."[25][31]

He thought it was a real "Haw-haw-haw" moment until everyone got up and left the room. He realized he wasn't around his brain-dead Rush Limbaugh buddies...

He was also a gun-nut who was constantly bragging about his arsenal and his 4,000 rounds of ammunition. He stopped when he realized no one in the room was the least bit impressed.

4. Sandra Fluke was called a slut by Limbaugh near the same time.

Men, in these 2 cases right wing aging pale males thinking their input on female medical issues are/were needed.

Sandra Flukes wiki..."Fluke's testimony on February 23 did not refer to her own sex life or use of contraceptives. She spoke instead about the experiences of fellow law students; according to The Washington Post, these included "Students who pay as much as $1,000 a year out-of-pocket for a birth-control prescription, a married woman who stopped taking the pill because she couldn't afford it, and a friend who needed the prescription for a medical condition unrelated to pregnancy but gave up battling to get it".[1]

On February 29, 2012, radio host Rush Limbaugh referred to Fluke's testimony to House Democrats on his show, The Rush Limbaugh Show, calling Fluke a "slut" and a "prostitute". Limbaugh stated:

[Fluke] essentially says that she must be paid to have sex—what does that make her? It makes her a slut, right? It makes her a prostitute. She wants to be paid to have sex. She's having so much sex she can't afford the contraception. She wants you and me and the taxpayers to pay her to have sex.[23][26]

Fluke responded by saying that she was "stunned" and "outraged" by Limbaugh's remarks, calling them "an attempt to silence me, to silence all of us from speaking about the healthcare we need".[27] Limbaugh's comments were also criticized by prominent Democrats and Republicans, and several companies suspended their advertising on The Rush Limbaugh Show in protest.[1][28]

He was a big jerk then. That aspirin comment didn’t surprise me. He was so full of himself. He told me I had a nice figure.
