What does that make her? It makes her a slut, right? It makes her a prostitute. She wants to be paid to have sex." He continued the following day and stated that Sandra Fluke Is "Having So Much Sex, It's Amazing She Can Still Walk". . On March 2nd he claimed the Fluke has boyfriends "Lined Up Around The Block. They Would Have Been In My Day"
