Recent law school graduate Sandra Fluke was scheduled to address the Democratic National Convention Wednesday night, introducing herself as a woman who rose to public prominence after being shut out of a hearing on contraception by nasty Republican men. It seems, though, that the Democrats have bumped her much-hyped speech.
Fluke had tweeted that she was preparing to go onstage.

The arena had gone into lockdown earlier this evening, prompting rumors that President Obama would appear and perhaps take the stage. Could that be the reason for the schedule shuffle? Who are these white businessmen on stage during her slot? Is Fluke just another victim of the Democrats’ war on women?
DNC refusing to answer whether Sandra Fluke has been skipped in the program. But she has.

BTW, where is Sandra Fluke? I was looking forward to some fierce birth control activism.

Will Fluke make a late appearance? No one seems to know at this point. But it would be a shame to let these tweets go to waste.
Conservative twitterverse crushed and depressed to learn that Sandra Fluke isn't speaking.

Obama will call Sandra Fluke shortly to apologize for her getting bumped from the #DNC2012 line up.

They didn't cancel Sandra Fluke. It was a certain late term scheduling procedure.

DNC just announced Sandra Fluke, or "Moan of Arc", has demanded her speech be Pay-Per-View. #sandrafluke #dnc #30yearoldlawstudent #whiner

Fluke did arrive on stage at last, kicking off the 10 o’clock hour, but we’re thankful to have Twitter to help us pass the time.
