NewsBusters’ Noel Sheppard writes in a Feb. 16 tweet: “If contraceptives R 2 B covered by health insurance shouldn’t alcohol since sober people don’t need birth control?”
This is immediately followed by tweets insisting that he was joking:
- “It’s called a joke, dude. Go rent a sense of humor.”
- “You’re into comic books and you can’t tell a joke when you see one? Now THAT’s entertainment!”
Sheppard has yet to explain where exactly the humor is in his “joke,” especially on a day when prominent right-wing financier Foster Friess was apparently not joking when he insisted that a little aspirin between your knees was an effective contraceptive.
