Democratic attorney and activist Sandra Fluke has decided against running for retiring Rep. Henry A. Waxman’s congressional seat, instead planning a bid for the state Senate. “I am extremely moved by the outpouring of local and national support I have received since I announced that I was considering running for office. My entire career has been devoted to the public interest, whether representing victims of human trafficking or advocating for working families,” Fluke said late Tuesday night. “I am committed to continuing that fight in Sacramento, working to protect our environment, ensure our access to health care, and create the jobs that are desperately needed. While I strongly considered offering my candidacy for Congress, I feel there is a better way for me to advance the causes that are important to our community.”

"She probably found out she would have to register her cooter as a public utility."

I just lost another keyboard by spitting my tea on it. I might be chuckling all day on you comment.

Me too. But it was coffee. Who do I send the bill to for a new keyboard?

After the official filing Fluke was probably "instructed" that Lieu is the replacement by the powers that be and her "interference" in this "plan" would result in being blacklisted by the dem machine.

So like Lieu, she needs to go to the minor leagues to learn how to "play ball" and wait for her opportunity. So not dumb in this case, just heeded "instructions".

Well we know she could be bought with free birth control pills and now we see the Libs bought her to run for another office, thus saving the Waxman seat for another Lib who could win.

I believe there is a word for such a woman who can be bought...................

She just got bitch-slapped.

Welcome to politics, girlykins.

She flushed the $1750 filing fee down the toilet in just one day yet she claims not to have enough money for birth control pills?

All is well. She’s engaged to the spawn of a one percenter NYC family. Who coincidentally is a long time Dem donor.

Indeed California is the west cost Chicago.

Let me first state that I’m no fan of Bob Beckel, and I don’t know how Hannity stands to be around him. But if I had to endure a dinner with him this evening, I would ask:
So Bob, in your opinion, who’s job was it to call up Sandy Fluke to deep-6 her Congressional run?
My own guess is it was der schliekmeister for 2 reasons: a) the task is way beneath barky’s dignity, and b) any woman with a $3000 annual contraception budget is someone bubba wants to be associated with.

[MrB]

I don’t think it’s about not having enough money for birth control,
it’s about the idea that someone else should pay for the consequences of her sexual choices regardless of her own ability to pay.

[nascarnation]

My guess is the call came from HogNose Henry hisself with a quiet reference to “what would ValJ think” if she didn’t listen.

H-E-double hockey sticks, why not just go right for the winner's circle right out of the gate, Sandy?
Clearly the standards have been re-set extremely low with the current occupant of the White House.
No experience, no integrity, no competence, no honesty, little intelligence required.
