I heard Keith Olbermann mention it, too. And Jon Stewart. I think he had illustrations.

But Rachel's bit was brilliant.

they just see it as a means to an end. They are sick, weak minded individuals, and he knows it, because he is one of them.

saying that Limbaugh knows full well that's not how birth control pills work, but the implication was that the knuckle-draggers that comprise his ditto-head audience are clueless about such things.

on his show Friday - he had Sandra Fluke and Joan Walsh on. He was very complementary to Fluke and then brought this up (pardon the pun) while talking to Joan who apparently had not thought of it at that point.

besides the slut/prostitute comment that it's taking awhile for people to sort through the surface idiocy to dig down into the stupidity and lies that based his pathetic rantings.

There's the fact that Birth Control pills are taken every day whether you are having sex or not.
There's the fact that no one is subsidizing this womans sex life.
There's the fact that when you are paying for health insurance you should get HEALTH CARE in return.
There's the fact that if this woman were a "plant" that would mean that the Democrats knew ahead of time that she would be denied the opportunity to speak and that Rush would go all mental on her.
There's the fact that Rush was ARRESTED WITH AN ILLEGAL STASH OF VIAGRA returning from a country known for it's sex trade.
There's the fact that Rush has been married 4 times, has no kids, and yet is railing against contraception.

It goes on and on.

Then there is the obvious. Did he really think he could start fucking with peoples sex lives and not feel any fallout?
