Today's GOP: The Lunatics Are In Charge Of The Asylum

It's been a busy week tracking the grunts, groans and unintelligible moans of various members and aficionados of the Republican party. There was Texan republican Michael Burgess revealing that he has spent time watching ultrasounds of 15 week fetuses masturbating; there was Glenn Beck praising Eric Snowden who is wanted by the United States for one of the most shocking cases of espionage in the country's history and the defeat of the $500 million dollar Farm Bill which hands out welfare payments to American farmers who then spend a portion of that money to elect legislators who then go and try to take similar payments away from non-farm owners such as senior citizens and single mothers with dependent children. Man this is like watching the worst damned reality show in the world, so bad that you can't wait for the upcoming week's episode to see what absurdities will be perpetrated next.

GOP Rep. Burgess: "I have seen 15 week fetus' masturbate"

GOP Rep.Michael Burgess of Texas, USA has endorsed a proposed ban on late term abortions with the observation that he has seen fetuses as early as 15 weeks old pleasuring themselves in the womb on ultra sound exams of pregnant women (Mr. Burgess is also an MD). Oh Lord! As the great Harvey Korman eloquently put forth in the film Blazing Saddles " My mind is aglow with whirling, transient nodes of thought, Careening through a cosmic vapor of invention". Just imagining the twist I could put on this makes me want to put my hands between my legs! But alas , I cannot. Why? Well just because I have no respect for politicians does not mean I do not fear them.Nor do I have much faith in their sense of humor. So what to do? I guess I will keep it real and say that this imbecile is further proof of the decline of the once great United States where morons are not only encouraged but actually get to lead!
