Republican Congresswoman talks to 6-year-olds about abortion, principal apologizes to parents
A lot of these folks have become so ideological they have lost their minds. They have lost all perspective. Where they are, what the unintended consequences might be of their actions. They have lost it. They need help. Really. I'm not kidding. I was at a karaoke bar last night when a drunken teabagger started talking politics to me and another person and became so belligerant they threw him out. He could not control himself.

A Republican Congresswoman shocked teachers and students alike this month when she decided to talk about abortion to a classroom of 6-year-olds.

Rep. Jean Schmidt (R-OH) ventured into the age-inappropriate territory during a speech at a Cincinnati Catholic school, where she addressed a room of students ranging from first to eighth graders.

"Unexpectedly, towards the end of her address, Congresswoman Schmidt brought up the topic of abortion," Prinicipal Dan Teller wrote in a letter to parents, obtained by Cincinnati's WLWT.com. "Your children may come home with questions, especially if this is a topic that has not been broached in your home."

22. AND she's going to have give back $500,000.00
Representative Jean Schmidt, Republican of Ohio, has been ordered by the House Ethics Committee to repay a Turkish-American group $500,000 for legal services it improperly paid for to help her pursue a defamation lawsuit and other legal proceedings against a Democratic opponent in the 2008 election.

4. That really summarizes Republicans.
They've lost the part of their brain that governs human decency.

6. I am tempted to use a particular word that goes well with dumb and numb but I will not.
Unlike this woman I am able to exercise restraint when needed.

7. Isn't she the one
Who said "Cowards cut and run, but Marines never do" to an Marine that served for 37 years?

Oh wait... here's that clip.

9. I looked it up
Edited on Sat Aug-06-11 03:11 PM by Aerows
This is a story from last year. She's batshit crazy, though, and it just shows what HORRIBLE judgment she has, as though implying that a highly decorated, 37-year veteran of the Marines that "Cowards cut and run, Marines never do" didn't already illustrate that clearly.

As though she ever served in any branch of the service, for any amount of time.

And lecturing first graders on abortion, when half of them barely know where babies come from? Oh my.

12. I just noticed that this happened right before the election
Apparently it didn't hurt her. I would have thought she'd have been run out of town on a rail.

15. Our country continues to fail, because we elected moronic fuckwads
into office that immedialty set out to destroy our society at large. Stupid people need to be removed from office for the sake of The People.

19. I am by nature a pacifistic and a peaceful person
but can anyone give me a good reason why "people" like like this "Jean Schmidt" creature should not be nailed to trees and used for target practice?

Hmmm?
