The Perfect Irony: You Just Can Not Make this Stuff Up | Eastern North Carolina Now

   Remarkably, Sandra Fluke (pronounced Sandra Fluck), who is best known as the Georgetown law student who publicly fretted at a congressional subcommittee meeting that Republicans, if elected en masse, would deny her current $3,000.00 stipend of annual contraception, recently spoke in prime time at the Democrat National Convention. This event was remarkable in two measures: First - Ms. Fluke's virtual unknown status in a political sense, outside of her announcement on Capitol Hill of requirement for copious contraception, and second - in a few spare minutes after her address, the sexually gregarious and former president, Bill Clinton, was scheduled to speak to the adoring Democrats, who also did give Ms. Fluke multiple standing ovations.

    I presume that I can't be the only fellow who appreciates the supreme irony of this ill planned schedule of speakers.

    Ms. Fluke, who is speculated to parley her current notoriety into a K Street Democrat Lobbyist position, did not disappoint her many fans in attendance at the convention as she embellished thoroughly the two issues most important to Democrat women: federally funded contraception and federally funded abortion on demand. Ms. Fluke's passion on these two issues was palpable as she decried Republicans for their pro-life positions, and their limited government approach to a woman's right to protection during an abundance of recreational fornication.

    I fully appreciate these fundamental positions for the new Democrat woman; however, I just don't believe that the Democrats, who scheduled Bill Clinton's nomination of Candidate Obama so soon after the sexually hyperactive ($3,000.00 of federally funded contraception needed annually?) Ms. Fluke, understand the obvious irony.

   During his 8 year stay in the White House, former President Bill Clinton was a centrist Democrat, who fundamentally understood that when the Democrats lost their majority in the United States House of Representatives, in 1994, that it was a necessity to accommodate that political diversity through serious negotiation. Candidate Obama has not understood that maxim, and has accordingly suffered a chasm of understanding with the Republicans in control of the U.S. House after the General Election of 2010. Because of this juxtaposition of these two Democrat presidents' personalities, Bill Clinton, unlike Candidate Obama, is warmly regarded as an effective leader - even to some Republicans. Mr. Clinton's new found public appreciation may be solely due to Candidate Obama's total lack of mutual respect for adversarial lawmakers, and his desired inability to lead a majority of Americans, and therefore, former President Clinton's historical remembrance has greatly improved.

   Few people seem to remember the former president's extramarital sexual indiscretions, in and out of the confines of the White House, most notable of which was with Monica Lewinsky. Regardless of one's selective memory of the former president, his infamous relationships with a cadre of women is legendary.

   Understanding the former president's predilection toward infidelity, it is most curious as to why the Democrats would think it best to schedule a woman to speak, in prime time, who requires $3,000.00 worth of federally funded contraception annually. Regardless of one's political favouritism ensconced within whatever opinion or attitude, if one is to be completely honest, they must recognize and appreciate the supreme irony of last night, on that dais.

   The one woman that most holds my complete audience, under the veil of perfect favoritism, may have summed it up best: "It's no Fluke that her name is pronounced Fluck."

   Now that's funny.
