She rarely thinks as well as she can turn a phrase, but Peggy got some good ones
here
The sheer strangeness of all the talk about abortion, abortion,
contraception, contraception. I am old enough to know a wedge issue when
I see one, but I've never seen a great party build its entire public
persona around one. Big speeches from the heads of Planned Parenthood
and NARAL, HHS Secretary and abortion enthusiast Kathleen Sebelius and,
of course, Sandra Fluke.
...
What a fabulously confident and ingenuous-seeming political narcissist
Ms. Fluke is. She really does think—and her party apparently thinks—that
in a spending crisis with trillions in debt and many in need, in a
nation in existential doubt as to its standing and purpose, in a time
when parents struggle to buy the good sneakers for the kids so they're
not embarrassed at school . . . that in that nation the great
issue of the day, and the appropriate focus of our concern, is making
other people pay for her birth-control pills. That's not a stand, it's a
non sequitur. ... She is a ninny, a narcissist and a fool.
And she was one of the great faces of the party in Charlotte. That is extreme. Childish, too.
