Comments on: Rachel Maddow Does Michele Bachmann https://gregladen.com/blog/2009/08/22/rachel-maddow-does-michele-bac/ Sat, 22 Aug 2009 23:41:20 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.6 By: Azkyroth https://gregladen.com/blog/2009/08/22/rachel-maddow-does-michele-bac/#comment-542850 Sat, 22 Aug 2009 23:41:20 +0000 http://scienceblogs.com/gregladen/2009/08/22/rachel-maddow-does-michele-bac/#comment-542850

call foul, Greg — you did that on purpose. Both the headline and the “quickie”. A shudder went down my spine at the implication that someone as awesome as Rachel would condescend to “do” Bachmann under any circumstances. And I’m talking, not even if she sank two quarts of JD right before.

And why not? Michele Bachmann either relaxes and lightens up or commits stupidcide, and if she enlists first, Rachel Maddow qualifies for the Medal of Honor, having distinguished herself “conspicuously by gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of her life above and beyond the call of duty while in action against an enemy of the United States.” 😛

Gahhhh.

It is not about a woman’s body (vessel), but all about the fetus and murder – is it not?

Better that than the taste of stale fundie.

I think I just threw up a little in my mouth.

Irony is lost on such people. They are unable to see the flaws in themselves that they project onto others. They can support mass murder in the Middle East, the death penalty, killing abortion doctors, and the absolute sanctity of all life — all in one breath, and with nary a bobble.

But yes… wow. Government control over vaginas, but not over other health care decisions. Republicans truly are all about being pro-life up until you’re squirted out into the world, then you’re on your own. (Apologies to Carlin.)
