. . .and how would conservatives feel if liberals refused to hold a hearing for a supreme court appointment, effectively blocking the duly elected president from making any appointment at all? They would lose their shit and people would be assassinated. Republicans are so hypocritical but the worst part is that they can't stand to let the Democrats govern when they lose elections. They get away with grinding gov't to a halt and sabotage.

re #2: and when everyone told them what they're self proclaimed name meant, they denied ever calling themselves that and how dare you filthy liberals put that name upon them.

Yeah, on your forehead? Maybe, but I heard it was a little lower. I'll never forget the exchange between Rachel Maddow and Ana Marie Cox about these idiots calling themselves "tea baggers."

I don't think that would be in vain. I'd call that time well spent.

Call me selfish, but I'd rather use my tongue and/or fingers to make the woman cry (out in pleasure).

I believe she's referring to Chelsea Handler, who did send out an Instagram or tweet (I forget which) wearing nothing but a pair of black panties and covering her breasts with her arm exhorting people to vote.

I think we should get partial credit for the stunning play on words. Pussy hats don't reference genitalia. They represent a set of cat's ears. What you infer from the name says more about you than the person wearing said article of clothing.

Silly woman, we don't yell at the sky, we yell at clouds. (Yes, in 255 comments, there's no way I'm the first to note this. I'm going to guess that the joke has been made between 4 and 7 times in this thread already.)
