Ever since you called Sandra Fluke after Rush Limbaugh called her a slut, I figured I might be next. You explained to reporters you called her because you were thinking of your two daughters, Malia and Sasha. After all, you didn\u2019t want them to think it was okay for men to treat them that way:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of the things I want them to do as they get older is engage in issues they care about, even ones I may not agree with them on,\u201d you said. \u201cI want them to be able to speak their mind in a civil and thoughtful way. And I don\u2019t want them attacked or called horrible names because they\u2019re being good citizens.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And I totally agree your kids should be able to speak their minds and engage the culture. I look forward to seeing what good things Malia and Sasha end up doing with their lives.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>All very, very true.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>But here\u2019s why I\u2019m a little surprised my phone hasn\u2019t rung. Your $1,000,000 donor Bill Maher has said reprehensible things about my family. He\u2019s made fun of my brother because of his Down\u2019s Syndrome. He\u2019s said I was \u201cf\u2014-d so hard a baby fell out.\u201d (In a classy move, he did this while his producers put up the cover of my book, which tells about the forgiveness and redemption I\u2019ve found in God after my past \u2013 very public \u2014 mistakes.)<\/p>\n<p>If Maher talked about Malia and Sasha that way, you\u2019d return his dirty money and the Secret Service would probably have to restrain you. After all, I\u2019ve always felt you understood my plight more than most because your mom was a teenager. That\u2019s why you stood up for me when you were campaigning against Sen. McCain and my mom \u2014 you said vicious attacks on me should be off limits.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It didn&#8217;t work, of course; the hog trough that is the lefty &#8220;alternative&#8221; media spawned an entire movement of &#8220;Triggers&#8221;.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Yet I wonder if the Presidency has changed you. Now that you\u2019re in office, it seems you\u2019re only willing to defend certain women. You\u2019re only willing to take a moral stand when you know your liberal supporters will stand behind you.<\/p>\n<p>But\u2026<\/p>\n<p>What if you did something radical and wildly unpopular with your base and took a stand against the denigration of all women\u2026 even if they\u2019re just single moms?
