Tom Wolfe, We Need You Now!

By now you’ve probably heard more than enough of Slutgate. Or have you? There’s so much to love about this newest episode of “Sex and Politics.” The creepy lasciviousness of Rush Limbaugh’s imaginings of Sandra Fluke’s sex life. The melodramatic theatrics of Obama’s phone call to Fluke for the sake of his daughters. The faux outrage of Limbaugh advertisers who had no idea that they were sponsoring a trash-talking bad boy. The fact that Rush’s insult of the previously unknown Fluke will probably turn out to be the best thing that’s ever happened to her. Gloria Allred’s campaign — in the name of feminism! — to have Rush prosecuted under a 19th-century Florida law protecting women against false charges of non-chastity. Tom Wolfe: we need you. Now.
