Media Santorum supporter makes another joke, everyone notices

Foster Friess, the guy with deep pockets pumping money into Rick Santorum‘s Super PAC, made a joke about the contraceptive issue on MSNBC today. Predictably, as it happens any time any public figure makes a joke about anything, political news media have picked it up and run with it.
In his appearance on “Andrea Mitchell Reports,” Friess said:
“This contraceptive thing. My gosh, it’s so inexpensive. Ya know, back in my days they used to use Bayer Aspirin for contraceptives. The gals would stick it between their knees and it wasn’t that costly.”
Anchor Andrea Mitchell clutched her pearls. “Excuse me, I’m just trying to catch my breath from that, Mr. Friess, frankly,” she said after a pause. Somebody get her a hot cloth!
The issue for most in media, apparently, is Friess use of the word “gals.” That’s the specific word that keeps coming up quoted in headlines.
For anyone unfamiliar with Friess, it turns out he’s funny. He told another funny joke at CPAC last week: “A conservative, a liberal and a moderate walk into a bar. The bartender says ‘Hi, Mitt,’” he said.
See? Funny.

Posted on February 17, 2012 at 2:51amI can‘t believe how many people don’t get that. for those of you in Rio Linda if you don‘t want the consequences of something don’t do it at all. It is like saying you talk best with tape on your mouth.

Posted on February 17, 2012 at 2:15amUnbelievable. If you are a conservative, you are not allowed to make a joke. If you are a liberal, you get a talk show. If you a Governor that hires prostitutes, you work for CNN. If you commit slander, libel, foment riots, avoid paying taxes, then you work on MSNBC. If you fail to pay taxes, then you become Treasury secretary.

Posted on February 16, 2012 at 10:52pmRight on guy! Love the aspirin line – forgot all about that but my mother said the same thing to my sisters way back when. As for the bar joke – SO TRUE!!!!! As for the interview person – get over yourself. You’ll let rappers call you “ho” but you get all flustered because this guy says “gals”. Really – that is not even good acting honey – that’s just being a dumbass!

Posted on February 16, 2012 at 10:39pmThis aspirin comment is right up my alley. I was 23 before I had sex with a woman. I never made a baby till age 36, married with a house and a wife, a nest for baby Michael. Yes in the 1960s the nuns and my parents made me afraid to talk to girls , let alone have sex or risk baby making. Not to mention the films and stories of STDs…. afraid to kiss you sister we called it. So yes put an aspirin between your knees, there are 1 million ways to give and get pleasure without making a baby.
