Dispatch From the Right Wing War Against Women
The Fluke Flap has not gone well for Rush Limbaugh.
It all began when Georgetown law student Sandra Fluke advocated, before a congressional committee, for the Obama free contraception mandate .

This being a “war against women”, the enemy counterattacked with full frontal vengeance.
