"Women should put an aspirin between their knees for birth control"

[sufrommich]

Foster Friess (? ) The money man behind Santorum tells Andrea Mitchell. Didn't see the interview, but it's all over Twitter right now.

[la la]

1. saw and heard it and...

had to come here an post it....i was even more dumbfounded than andrea! heh heh

[sufrommich]

3. Holy cow, thanks for letting us know it was real. Unbelievable.

[yellerpup]

2. That was the method of birth control

suggested for us back in the '60s. Kind of reminds me of my dad, he never, ever forgot a joke, but he could never remember how many times he'd told it.

And, as usual, he wasn't funny.

5. had a health teacher tell our class that one time

as a joke then proceeded to give good info...

sP

[yellerpup]

9. Glad you got the good info.

It IS a joke, and your teacher acted responsibly for letting you know it was a joke and then filling you up with facts you could use.

[ProdigalJunkMail]

15. probably saved more than one person in that classroom

from a world of potential troubles...

sP

[yellerpup]

18. Good teachers are a national treasure.

I could count on facts from my teachers, with my parents...not so much. lol

[Proud Liberal Dem]

22. Not the least of which

was people actually trying such a thing!

[murielm99]

12. That is interesting.

I had a teacher who did the same thing. The information that followed was good, too.

[ProdigalJunkMail]

17. the way he presented it was pretty good...

he essentially opened the class with it. "Please turn to the chapter in your books on human reproduction. Ok, the state says I have to tell you about birth control. So...the best method of birth control is aspirin...held firmly between the girl's knees. That is all I am going to say."

After about a minute of stunned silence, he changed his tune..."Ok, the book has some good info and some that is a little dated. Let's take a look at each method of contraception. We'll talk good and bad...and what your friends say will work...and then why you should not trust any of that crap your friends say..."

sP

4. WTFH!?!?!

What scum...how much lower can they get?

6. We posted the same quote at the same instant!

Should I delete mine? SG

[sufrommich]

7. Don't delete, maximum exposure is a good thing.

8. I don't know if I am more angry about the "joke" if that is what it was

or the fact that he said "the girls". Oh how I hate old guys, or really any guys, referring to women as girls.

Ya know, I like a little girl in my women *wink *wink <---- heard that a few months ago in my living room. That person is no longer allowed in my house.

11. " I like a little girl in my women "

That's right up there with that stupid teddy bear crap they were selling for Valentine Day. The one that sold the BIG bear because size matters.

Something about that commercial made me gag.

[MuseRider]

19. Pervy isn't it?

Both the comment and the ad. The entire concept was demeaning while also supposedly sexy. I have no care for what couples do together, if they want to play those games then they should go for it. It is the entire feeling of being childish and patted on the head when called a girl that should not be perpetuated in society. We have to let them know how angry that makes us and how it demeans us as grown up women. Otherwise this crap will continue on.

[Tallulah]

23. Exactly

The comments at YouTube express it better than I can.

[Ter]

13. Depends what age they are

I wouldn't call a 40 or 50 year old woman a girl, although it's been done to older, like the Golden Girls.

[MuseRider]

20. I used to think that anyone able to concieve

and produce a child is a woman not a girl. Now they are so young sometimes I wonder. I would like to know what the line is for others.

[winstars]

10. Andrea left speechless from this 'answer' he says it and there is silence for a couple...

seconds, she then says: "I am just trying to catch my breath from that"..... This guy is just another fucking "pug ASSHOLE who wants to take us back to the 13th century....

[gratuitous]

14. The 1950s called, they want their misogynism back

I'm sure our peerless media types will all have a good chuckle over this, and claim that anyone who doesn't see the humor in it is some godless heathen trying to stifle people's freedom of religion.

[KamaAina]

16. A.D. or B.C.?

21. This issue will kill the Republican Party if they let it.

It's one thing to be an anti-abortion party, quite another to be anti-birthcontrol.
