The Nice Guy, The Reasonable One

Yep, that's Mike Huckabee. Just the most gosh-darn friendly fella you could imagine.

Y'know, Dan Quayle got all up in Murphy Brown's face back in 1992. And it helped him and George Bush lose an election.

If people just quit worrying about what other people did with their reproductive systems, the world would be a much saner place.

statistical reality that most single moms are very poor, under-educated, can't get a job, and if it weren't for government assistance, their kids would be starving to death."

THAT was his fix-it statement?!? "I wasn't slamming black swan, I was just saying that most single moms are woefully unprepared, incapable of earning a living, and would neglect their children to death if the government didn't help them..."

Gee, that's much less insulting.

Of course, this is the same asshat who slammed fat people after he lost a bunch of weight (by having his wife/staff prepare him different meals than before). The whole "if an affluent white male who doesn't cool for himself can do it--what's wrong with the rest of you fatasses?" Now that he's gained all that back and then some, he doesn't have so much to say about it.

Yeah, well. Y'wanna see him really start hemming and hawing? Ask him where the jobs are.

This would be hilarious, if it wasn't causing so much despair.

But if it wasn't for that, the Republican Party would have to admit they exist solely to make the rich richer, and they'd never get elected to anything ever again.

And heaven knows we can't have that(!)

I'm not the first person to say this, nor will I be the last, but the Republican party needs to figure out that there are no jobs in my uterus.

The people voting for these Republicans needs to figure out they don't actually give a shit about jobs other than their own.

Giggity?

I luv UR icon, just sayin'. But also, that quote of yours needs to be an icon too.
THERE ARE NO JOBS IN MY UTERUS.
Later generations will be so puzzled by the tee shirt slogans...

I luv UR icon, just sayin'.

Thanks. I had trouble deciding between that one and this one, for obvious reasons. ;-)

May I borrow that? Full credit, of course. I think a diary on dKos should spread that phrase around.

[kshandra]

It's not original to me - I saw it on Twitter last week sometime. If I could remember where I saw it first, I'd point you in that direction.

No, the Republican party needs to figure out that uterine occupants don't vote.

So an adult woman who gets pregnant by her fiance is bad. But a teenage daughter of an Alaskan politician is acceptable.

The 1992 Republican National Convention featured Tanya Tucker singing the National Anthem. That would be the same Tanya Tucker who has three children by two different men and has never been married. She was engaged to the father of her third child, but she called off the wedding -- after she found out she was pregnant.

Hypocrisy: It's the Republican way.
