About That Other Use For Aspirin...

It is amusing to see the mainstream (or state-controlled) media whining about a comment Santorum backer Foster Friess made about contraception.

Here's how it went:

"Back in my days, they used Bayer aspirin for contraceptives," Friess said on MSNBC yesterday during an interview with Andrea Mitchell, adding: "The gals put it between their knees, and it wasn't that costly."

Friess was talking about protecting one's virtue. It was another way of saying that to avoid pregnancy, keep your legs closed. It is no worse than telling a man to "keep it in your pants."

Ronald Reagan used to use the line, "Balancing the budget is like protecting your virtue. You have to learn to say 'no'."

When my roommate and I first heard the recording of this, we both laughed.

Now the media and women's groups are outraged and calling Friess a "moron" and "creepy."

Before people try to crucify him, Friess has done more philantropy work than any living liberal. He contributed millions for Indonesian tsunami relief and to Hurricane Katrina relief amongst other charities.

Naturally, the media focuses on this trivial story instead of President Obama's dismal record. The real issue is religious freedom, not contraception.

P.S. Friess has since issued an apology statement over his asprin joke.
