More Good News

Crazy Congressman Allen West of Florida lost to Patrick Murphy.

Ignorant Congressman Joe Walsh of Illinois, who opposed a “life of the mother” exception to an abortion ban because he said women’s lives are never threatened by pregnancy, lost to Iraq War vet Tammy Duckworth, who lost both her legs while serving as a helicopter pilot there.

And Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin will become the first openly gay member of the U. S. Senate, having defeated Tommy Thompson.  I was thinking of you, Butters, when I wrote “openly.”

Is this a great country or what?

Another Day, Another GOP Moron

Rep. Joe Walsh (R-Illinois) said at a debate with Tammy Duckworth that abortions are never needed to save the life of the mother.

Todd Akin must have told him that.

He certainly didn’t hear it from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, who said it wasn’t so, Joe.
