Hey, there’s where Sandra (I want your money ‘cuz I’m a slut) Fluke can get some money to support her insatiable sexual habits.

Er, forgot, some Russian would have to be desperate enough to be willing to pay her.

In terms of natural beauty, Sandra Fluke would be laughably hideous standing next to the average Russian streetwalker.

“Without insurance coverage, contraception can cost a woman over $3,000 during
law school. For a lot of students who, like me, are on public interest scholarships”

She got a scholarship? Living pretty well for someone on a needs scholarship...

I am sure they don’t teach math there... $3000 per year is a dozen condoms a day

I knew a girl or 2 in college (friend of a friend type thing) that erotic danced their way through college. Lived pretty good while doing it. And, no I didn’t find out by going to “the club”. Where she danced was a dive, the “kevlar recommended” part of town.

I’d give her whatever she wants, including my left nut and/or my first-born male child.
