here's some thoughts for you shawn:

1. you are a <i> state senator</i> in IOWA. you are not important.

2. you look like the dictionary picture for the entry 'douche'.

3. you have the stupidest public servant (see what i did there shawn?) name since 'Shelley Sekula Gibbs' who - come to think of it - looks like a noble winner compared to you.

It’s probably a pretty new experience. You probably prepared for it for days and you sat there in front of us trying to make sure your remarks were just right, and that’s a good thing.

Only thing is, you forgot to bring your briefcase filled with cash. Which is a <i>better thing</i>.

So until you purchase my time, whether via lobbyist or PAC money bundling, this whore won't service your little concerns.

NEXT!

In part 2 of this lesson in Iowa civics, the class will visit another GOP representative, but this time they'll bring a cash campaign contribution. They will then prepare a written report in which they 'compare and contrast' the experiments.

The sharp ones will grow up to be Republicans.

So what's-her-name, the hideous conservatard blonde skank, got the idea from Wisconsin?

Yeah, but those kids had to get shot before anybody paid attention. Bring back mob violence as a means of political protest!

Oh, come on. It's not like college student activism has any political effect. Just ask the architects of the Vietnam War.

I find keg-stands go a long way to dull the pain of being informed of my irrelevance. Of course, I'm not as young as I once was, so now I rely on Wonkette and whiskey I couldn't afford as a student (days I will surely look back on as boom times, what with the resurgence of trickle-down economics).

But, would it be creepy for me to tweet him a picture of my junk since I'm not in Iowa? I don't need conservitards internet stalking my internet menacing.

Also, too, your wife is a good woman. I'm home alone and stuck in a land of self-serve.

What he meant was: "Now that you're out of the womb, we don't give a fuck about you."

What's the surprise here? Unless you leave the womb with a billion dollars in crawling around money, the Repubicans just don't care about you.

They should have testified in language the Repubicans can hear: Fetal heartbeats.

Reminds me of the good ole days when Boss "I wasn't wrong; I was misinformed" BlunderRush used to tell his listeners on Friday afternoons "Don't read the newspapers; don't watch tv over the weekend. On Monday I'll tell you all you need to know."
