What was Rush Thinking? He Wasn't!

If Sex is Outlawed, Then Only Georgetown Law Student Will Have Sex   written by, Eileen Smith, the editor of "in the Pink" political blog, is a funny and sarcastic look at contraceptives in the political arena.  Ms. Smith’s uses satire in her depiction of the most recent rant of Rush Limbaugh, radio host, which is clearly geared for an anti-Limbaugh audience.  The blog article also highlighted a ridiculous comment made by Cardinal Timothy Dolan regarding the holy war on contraceptives and she ended her piece with her opinion on Rick Santorum,  candidate for the 2012 Republican party presidential nomination.

Ms. Smith’s postings are meant for a like-mined audience.  There is no doubt when reading her various postings she is leaning to the left when it comes to politics.  The author uses her wit and sarcasm to engage her target audience.   She uses direct quotes by the parties in which she pokes fun at and to prove her argument, which is how utterly ridiculous their clams really are.  Ms. Smith’s posting do not provide hard evidence in defense of her argument, but what they do, do is engage the reader into finding out more about the issues at hand.  I know that for me after reading her posting I went an read other articles that were regarding the issues she had written about.  I believe the intent in her postings is to educate her readers on political issues in a light-hearted matter.  Her article is an easy read that gives a brief interpretation on, in this case, staunch conservatives views on birth control and other issues that are geared towards women’s reproductive health.
