Sold! The auction for an intimate strategy session with Sandra Fluke has ended, with a winning bid of $400. We suppose that seems like a respectable amount, but it looks like conservatives anxious to engage with Time’s “Person of the Year” nominee off script were responsible for driving up the price. Breitbart’s Dana Loesch is calling foul, saying that Women, Action and the Media, the group sponsoring the auction, closed it down early to keep a conservative from winning.
Admittedly, I was all ready set up and prepared to bid repeatedly and win it in the 11th hour.

Just goes to show you how they won't allow the Joan of Arc of birth control off her talking points, even for a cause.

While the auction was scheduled to end Dec. 5, WAM closed it down early, citing a number of “harassing responses.”
NOTE: We had a wonderful opportunity to make Sandra Fluke available for a consulting session with the highest bidder in this auction, but unfortunately, due to a disturbingly high number of harassing responses to this item, we have decided to close the auction two days early. We congratulate the winning bidder, and we apologize to those who share our enthusiasm to collaborate with Sandra and expected an opportunity to continue bidding on this auction item.
What the hell constitutes a "harassing response?" That people repeatedly bid on it in an effort to get her talk for an hour off-points? LOL.

Just so funny how they realized afterward that it meant she'd likely be talking to a conservative and shut it down. That's the actual reason

Ah, what could have been. Is there a consolation prize, at least?
Auction for an hour of time with Sandra Fluke tops out at $400; how about an hour with me? Bidding starts at $0.07. #OneHourWithIowahawk
