(Washington, D.C. - 3-5-12) The Navy has vehemently denied rumors they're considering naming a future vessel the USS Sandra Fluke.
“This is simply a rumor and the Navy at this time has no plans, unless compelled by Congress, to name a vessel after this young lady.”
A senior Democratic Senator, however, has a different take. He spoke anonymously:
“While at this time naming a ship the USS Sandra Fluke isn't being considered, it's certainly worth discussion. We value true heroes in America and have named vessels after other American icons who have stood up for truth and justice such as Jimmy Carter, Eldridge Cleaver and Cesar Chavez.”
“By standing up to the far-right who is attempting to label this loose young lady a slut, who is simply demanding her constitutional right to contraception, we find her courage, tenacity and tough spirited attitude worthy of consideration for a future vessel, probably sometime in 2015. The USSPV (United States Ship Pleasure Vessel) Sandra Fluke has a nice ring to it.”
“I'll be convening a committee to discuss the subject.”
Developing...
To: NoLibZoneHas the Navy named a ship after Fluke yet?
Isn’t there a large, open tunnel somewhere that needs a name?
Inspiration comes from many sources..:)
naming a ship after a parasitic flatworm?
sounds like a risky scheme to me. ;-)
They're naming a boat after Ceasar Chavez. Not much room for parody after that.
Was that a denial or a confession?
Yes!
LOL! Carry on.
Heh..:)
Leaky sub full of seaman and always belly up.
I understand the ship to be a smaller Nuke Submarine called the SLUT. (Silent Light Ultimate Terminator)
In the Ho class....
I guess you have never seen on FR “hey, great minds think alike” when two posters get the same idea at the same time. It is possible. I’ve seen it many times here.
Yeah & Yow!
And he had better stay anomomous! How assanine
can an elected official be?
I’d bet that man has never served a day, and has great contempt for our service men and women!
Of all the worthy men and women that have not been so honored, a fluke like him would come up with such a suggestion!
God Forbid![don’t even think it] that we as a nation and a people would start down that road!
When Santa Clause laughs.....Ho,Ho,Ho.....he was thinking of This Senator and.......Ho,Ho,Ho.....Fluke
Big, black, hard and full of se(a)men.
We named our dorm in honor of fluke - 2nd Canterbury, the C-Men.
